I design in person the day of your session. This process makes your tattoo more collaborative and cuts down on wasted time via emails. My background is in digital art, which means I can design rather quickly if I can get in-person notes.

Just like any other style of tattoo, they change over time. Just like the rest of our body. The dots will soften and create a less gritty image. You can help keep your tattoos looking fresh with lots of sunscreen and lotion.

Tipping is up to you. Most collectors tip, but it's never required. A standard tip is 20% but for real... it's your call.

I would prefer you come by yourself. If it's a comfort thing, your friend can come in with you and feel things out but a shop can get busy and it's best to make this session about your tattoo journey.

I do but I recommend not using it if you can push through. I want you to have a great session and some pain is part of the process. You'd be surprised what we can endure and how proud you will be of yourself when you make it to the other side. That being said, if you need it. I got you.
