Specialties

Black & Grey Portrait Tattoos

Faces, statues, and character pieces with believable texture and light control. Expect smooth transitions, credible detail, and compositions that sit naturally on the body.

Micro-Realism (Small, High-Fidelity)

Refined tattoos that read cleanly in small formats—ideal for wrist, inner/outer forearm, upper arm (inner/outer), ribs, sternum, ankle, and shoulder blade.

Cover-Ups & Reworks

Thoughtful redesigns that integrate old ink using shape, value, and negative space to create a piece you’ll love long-term.

How the Process Works

Share your idea. Use the booking form to describe concept and size (inches), plus dates.
Add visuals. Attach up to 2 reference images and 1 body-placement photo to help with scale and orientation.
Get a plan. You’ll receive composition guidance, session count, and a transparent estimate.
Lock your date. A deposit secures your session and is applied to the final cost.

Pricing, Sessions & Timing

Realism pricing depends on size, placement, and detail. Micro-realism often fits in a single sitting; portraits or multi-element compositions may need multiple sessions. You’ll receive a clear estimate before booking so you can plan with confidence.

Aftercare That Protects Realism

You’ll leave with written aftercare—gentle cleansing, light moisturization, and sun protection. Avoid pools, tanning, and intense training during healing. Once healed, use SPF to preserve blacks, mid-tones, and highlights.
