CONSULTATION

You’ll have a full hour and a half dedicated just to your design session.
It’s all about bringing your idea to life. I’ll use Photoshop to explore concepts with you—whether that means drawing directly on your skin to map out a larger design, overlaying ideas onto your photo, or creating a fresh mock-up that reflects your vision. Once it feels right, I’ll print it to scale so you can see exactly how it’ll look and sit on your body.
I won’t rush you—we’ll take the time to talk through every detail that matters to you. And if you change your mind or want to explore a different direction while we’re brainstorming, we can always schedule another consultation.
So please don’t feel intimidated by the process. Come visit me relaxed and open—we’ll figure it out together.

$28 for a 90-minute session
$28
The $28 is a separate fee for the consultation—it covers our dedicated hour and a half together to focus on your design. It’s not applied toward the tattoo session.
Deposit is forfeited under following condition:
- Same-day cancellations
- Same-day reschedule requests
- No-shows
Please refrain from booking an appointment if you’re likely to change your mind or request a refund.
I run a private studio and manage everything myself—booking, design prep, tattooing, cleaning, admin tasks, and more—so my time is limited.
Communicating and booking with clients is part of the “work” that I will not get paid for, and I appreciate clients who understand that.
If you're just “shopping around,” please hold off on booking.
I want to give my full attention to clients who approach this process with mutual respect.
- 1.5 hours of undivided attention to review your idea
- Brainstorming your vision and exploring your story
- Clarifying your symbolism—what it means to you
- Image & inspiration research to align with your aesthetic
- Creating a design mock-up, either on paper or using Photoshop to overlay the design onto your photo
- Experimenting with size—I’ll print the design in different scales to help us find the perfect fit
- For large-scale tattoos and cover-ups, I may use Photoshop to simulate the design on a photo of your body. This helps us visualize placement and fine-tune dimensions
- A second consultation may be required for sleeves, back pieces, cover-ups, or custom designs created entirely from scratch
Yes—if you’d like to bring a close friend or family member for moral support or a second pair of eyes, feel free to have them tag along. Whatever helps you feel most comfortable and confident during the process.
Let me know if you want it to sound more playful, firm, or intimate.
There’s no pressure to commit. You can take your time, come back to the idea later, or even decide it’s not the right path—and that’s totally okay. The consultation is here to help you explore and get clear on how to move forward with your tattoo.
You can let the idea marinate and book your tattoo appointment later—or, if it feels right, schedule it on the spot.
I usually schedule consultations at 11:00 AM, before the day’s tattoo sessions start.
