I DON'T DO
SMALL TALK.
I DO PERMANENT.
Every Line
Is a Commitment
A shaky hand. An impatient needle. A rushed stencil. These are the reasons you're still living with someone else's mistake. Every mark I make is deliberate, or it doesn't happen.
Skin Is Not
A Canvas —
It Moves. It Ages.
It Lives.
Anyone can make a tattoo look good on day one. The test is five years from now. I design for aging skin, not for the photograph taken in the chair.
"I design for the person you'll be in ten years, not the person taking the photo today."— The Artist
I Say No
More Than
I Say Yes
These aren't policies. They're the difference between work I'm proud of and work that ends up in a cover-up consultation with someone else.
No. Every piece goes through a consultation. This protects you and it protects the work. Walk-in culture produces walk-in quality.
Typically 3–6 months. If you need something faster, I'm probably not the right artist for you — and that's okay.
Never. I'll take inspiration, reference, and direction — but what goes on your skin will be original. Copying is theft.
Possibly. Cover-ups are the hardest work in tattooing. I'll need photographs of the existing piece in good light before I can even say yes or no.
Prices start at $300. There is no negotiation on pricing. The work is what it costs, or I don't do it.
Selectively. My primary focus is black and grey realism and bold traditional. If you want color, describe the concept in your consultation request and I'll tell you if it's in my wheelhouse.
Deposits are non-refundable. Reschedules with 72+ hours notice are accommodated once. After that, a new deposit is required. My time is the only thing I can't get back.
Convince Me
It Matters
I read every submission personally. I respond to the ones I want to work on. No form letters. No assistant. If you don't hear back in two weeks, it's a no.
