HOW I WORK

How a full-day session works.

Full-day session

$1,800

I. Send me your idea

Tell me your idea, placement, and leave your contact details. I’ll contact you with my available consultation spots. You can choose in-person consultation every Tuesday from 10am to 6pm or online consultation through messages or emails. We will speak through your project detail by detail, You can ask me any and how many questions you want ( remember no question is stupid)…

II. Design, the morning of

On the morning of your appointment, after you arrive, we talk through your project again so you can adjust anything if necessary. After that, I create design and show it to you in Photoshop, placed on your own body, and we adjust it until we’re both happy. We start tattooing only when we are both satisfied with the design. That’s why I do full day sessions only so we have time for everything.

III. Full-day sessions

I work in full-day sessions only. Some pieces take one full day, some take multiple. For example in one full day session I can finish one side of the forearm from wrist to the elbow no matter how much time it will take I will work until project is completed. After Session You leave with a fresh masterpiece and free aftercare kit.
