The process

  1. I.

    Share your idea

    Send the concept through the booking form — placement, approximate size, and any reference images that capture what you have in mind.

  2. II.

    Consult & design

    We talk it through, define direction and pricing, and lock a date. You'll see the custom design before the needle ever touches skin.

  3. III.

    Session day

    A clean, fully-sterile setup with single-use needles. Come rested and fed — we take the time the piece deserves.

  4. IV.

    Healing & follow-up

    You leave with clear aftercare instructions, and we check in while the piece heals to make sure it settles perfectly.

Questions, answered

How do I book a session?

Send your idea through the contact form. You'll get a reply within 48 hours with availability, pricing direction, and the next steps to lock your date.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes — a deposit secures your appointment and is applied to the final price of the piece. Deposit terms are confirmed during the consult.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Sleep well, eat beforehand, and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol and blood thinners for 24 hours before the session, and wear clothing that gives easy access to the placement.

Are touch-ups included?

Minor touch-ups are assessed once the piece is fully healed — we'll cover the specifics for your design during the consult.

What about aftercare?

You'll receive step-by-step aftercare instructions after the session, plus a follow-up message while it heals. Questions are always welcome.

A piece you'll wear for life deserves an artist who won't rush it
