How are custom designs made?

The first step in any tattoo design is a consultation. Consultations are always free and preferred.

They can be done via email/phone or in person at the studio. For any project over 5 hours, an in-person consultation is required.

During the appointment, we will discuss your ideas and what your ideal plan is for your tattoo. We will discuss the budget based on the design and set a realistic timeline to bring the vision to life.

That’s when I will take measurements and pictures. Please come to your appointment with clothing that allows access to the area you have in mind.

The design takes me about 2 weeks to complete.

A week before your appointment you can expect a first sketch by email. At this moment, you can make big or small changes on the composition, element or anything else that would make this the tattoo of your dream.

You may or may not receive a 2nd sketch depending on the changes requested on a case by case basis.

You will see your final design on the day of the appointment. Small last minute adjustments can still be made at this point.
