Your artist will help guide the design, placement, and size so the tattoo works well with your body and will age properly.

On the day of your appointment, your artist will show you the finished design. This is your time to collaborate on any small adjustments and finalize placement before the stencil goes on.

Once everything looks perfect, it’s time to tattoo.

Relax, hang out, and enjoy the experience. We’re always happy to chat, play music, grab a snack, or just let you zone out while the work gets done.

5. Aftercare

After your tattoo is finished, your artist will walk you through proper tattoo aftercare to make sure your new piece heals perfectly.

Taking care of your tattoo is essential to keeping the artwork looking sharp for years to come.
