Thanks for the message. You'll hear back within 48 hours with an appointment slot.
Send your idea, references and timing through the form or DM. I review every request personally and reply within 48 hours with a transparent quote and the next available appointment date. To lock the date on the calendar, a deposit is required — the sketch and design refinements come after.
Once the deposit is paid and the appointment is on the calendar, I draw your custom design from scratch and share it over DM. We coordinate the details and revisions in the weeks leading up to the session, so by the day of your appointment the design is exactly what you imagined.
The deposit reserves your appointment date and covers the design work that happens before the session. It is deducted from the final price of the tattoo. Deposits are non-refundable — they pay for the time invested in designing and the calendar slot that can't be re-sold.
Typically 2–6 weeks depending on the piece. Larger projects book further out. A handful of walk-in slots are also kept open each week for smaller pieces and quick fine-line work.
Yes — I'm fully bilingual. Communication happens in whichever language you're most comfortable explaining the piece in. Most conversations end up a mix of both.
