How to choose an artist

A simple checklist to help you pick the right match for your design and expectations.

Step
01

Start with portfolio style

Look for consistent line quality, shading, and composition that matches your references.

Micro-disclaimer: not every design is appropriate for every placement or size.

Step
02

Confirm sizing and placement

Some styles need room. We will advise if details will blur or if placement is likely to heal inconsistently.

Micro-disclaimer: healing varies by skin type and aftercare.

Step
03

Align on timing

We confirm session length estimates and whether a piece should be split into multiple appointments.

Micro-disclaimer: time estimates depend on complexity and skin response.

Step
04

Plan aftercare

We provide written aftercare guidance and a clear way to reach us with questions.

Micro-disclaimer: for medical concerns, consult a licensed healthcare professional.

What you can expect

A calm studio experience with clear communication and consent checks. If an idea is not feasible or not safe, we will tell you early.

Safety-focused workflow

We maintain a clean setup process and prioritize hygiene and studio organization.

Micro-disclaimer: follow the aftercare sheet to support healing and reduce irritation risk.

Clear planning and consent

We confirm placement in a mirror, review the stencil, and proceed only when you agree.

Micro-disclaimer: tattoos are permanent. Consider placement, visibility, and long-term preferences.
