custom work & collaborative sessions

While most of my tattoo work is based on pre-made drawings, I love working with clients on custom tattoos. That being said, I only take on custom work that I believe aligns with my style. 

​

I do two types of custom work :

​

Pre-drawn Custom Designs                                                                                                              

 

Maybe you have something personal that you are envisioning in my style, or maybe you saw a tattoo I have done and want something similar. I am always open to new ideas, and I am very happy to re-interpret old works and make them new. The process goes as such:

​

    1) You submit a booking form and include 3-10 reference images for the piece you are imagining. It is helpful if this includes inspiration photos, tattoos I have done in the past, and a photo of the intended location of the tattoo.

​

    2) Once I have approved the project, I will ask for a non-refundable $50 deposit to start the drawing process.

​

    3) Between 1 week to 2 days ahead of our appointment, I will send 2-4 rough sketches. From here, we may choose to use one of those ideas, do a second round of sketching based on your feedback, or opt to finish designing the tattoo together in session. 

​

Collaborative Sessions: working together to fit with your body                                                

​

One of my ethos around tattoos is that they not just impose themselves on the skin, but become one with the flow and movement of the body. You might consider this kind of session if you want something abstract, simple, and perfectly fit to your anatomy. Think of knots, vines, and body lines. In your form, I will ask for the general placement and intention for the tattoo, but all of the designing will happen together, in session. This creates a resulting tattoo that is of the moment, and that we can actively shape and bring to life together.

 

In-session drawing is charged at a flat rate of $75 an hour.
