COMMON QUESTIONS

FAQ

01

Do you copy existing designs or sketches?

No. Every design is original and made for you. I do not copy another artist's work or an image found online. Reference images are welcome, since they show me the mood and direction you have in mind.

02

Will fine line / micro-realism fade over time?

All tattoos change as skin ages, and fine detail softens first. I design with that in mind: line weight, contrast and placement are chosen to hold up over time. Aftercare during healing matters too, and I will give you detailed instructions.

03

How does the pricing work?

Pricing is based on the size, complexity and placement of the design. After you send your idea through the booking form, I will send you a clear project quote.

04

Can I bring a friend or partner to the appointment?

Sessions are one-on-one, to keep the studio sterile and my full attention on your tattoo.

05

How do I book an appointment?

Start with the booking form on this site. Include your idea, the placement and size, and reference images if you have them. I take on projects that fit my work: micro-realism, realism, geometric and concept art. I reply by email, and the next step is a consultation.
