Tattoo Process
From initial consultation to final aftercare, every step is carefully crafted to ensure you get the perfect tattoo experience
Consultation
After having filled out the form that appears later, an online consultation or personally agreed through an appointment, is to deal with more in-depth specifications about the tattoo. ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT ORIGINALITY IS A BEGINNING OF MY WORK, and I do not copy tattoos from other artists. We create art, together. Unique like every being.
Session
Focused on long-scale projects (<6 hours) the sessions do not have a defined time. I always say that the session is a plan where the goal will be to finish the tattoo in the agreed time. We will tattoo while we both feel good and I try to make myself flexible with last minute situations to give a professional experience to my clients.
Design
One of the most important parts of the whole process, flexibility is recommended when creating the design. An important point to keep in mind is that my goal will always be to tattoo something with which we both feel comfortable. I appreciate the trust in passing. For the day of the session, I will make sure to have references ready but it is a process that I like to live with the client because that way we are both part of the creative process and get a better communication.
Aftercare
