Pricing & Time Estimates
Every tattoo is unique. Final pricing depends on size, placement, and detail, especially for realism and micro-realism. Smaller pieces may be completed in one session; larger portraits or multi-element designs can span multiple sittings. You’ll receive a clear estimate during consultation—no surprises, just results you’ll love long-term.
Aftercare That Protects Your Investment
Realism tattoos look their best when healed well. You’ll receive written aftercare covering cleansing, moisturization, and sunlight exposure. In short: keep it clean and lightly moisturized, avoid pools and tanning while healing, and always use SPF once healed. Proper aftercare keeps blacks rich and contrasts crisp for years.
