Booking
Thanks for your interest in my work. My focus is Black and Gray, full color realism works as well floral pieces. I look forward to hearing your ideas!
I offer both half-day and full-day sessions. Please understand that larger-scale pieces require multiple appointments (e.g., sleeves, half-sleeves, etc.).
Every tattoo is unique, and so is everyone’s skin. Some designs require more detail, and some people’s skin can be more challenging to work with, which may extend the time it takes to complete the piece.

Cover up process
I would love help you. Cover-up tattoos require precision and careful planning. Each project is custom-designed, and I need creative freedom to ensure the new piece fits, covers, and works beautifully as a tattoo. That being said, as an artist I need freedom to create something within your idea that will fit and look good as tattoo. The only way I can do your idea is if the new idea fits perfectly into the current tattoo and works as a tattoo, because not always a design will look good as a tattoo specially in a cover up pieces.
To start this process I need know:
​​
-
How long ago was the original tattoo done?
-
A clear, current photo of the tattoo you'd like to cover.
-
Your new idea, along with reference photos if you have any.
​
If you don’t have specific reference images, that’s okay. The most important thing is to let me know the theme you have in mind, elements you’d like to include, or anything you definitely don’t want in the design. This allows me the creative freedom to design a piece that fits your vision, while still making the best use of my artistic style and making sure the final result works well as a cover-up.
Designing
I create the design the day before the appointment and will show it to the client when they arrive at the shop. Meanwhile, clients are welcome to send photos and minor updates to their design up until the day before. Minor tweaks can be made when we meet in person, but if the client is not satisfied with the design ,we may need to reschedule to avoid rushing into it.
