Five steps,
Five steps,
no surprises.
From first inquiry to needles down. We don't ghost, we don't redraw twelve times, we don't tattoo what we wouldn't tattoo on ourselves.
- 01
Inquire
Send the artist (not the shop) a message with reference, placement, sizing, and the rough story of what you want. Expect a 3–7 day response.
- 02
Consult
Free 30-minute consult in person or via video. We talk concept, refine sizing, set deposit and date. No deposit, no booking.
- 03
Design
The artist drafts privately. You see the final the morning of. One round of small changes is built in; large rewrites are a new consult.
- 04
Session
Bring snacks, water, headphones. Don't bring an entourage. We work in 4-hour blocks; large pieces take multiple sessions.
- 05
Heal
Aftercare instructions in writing, plus a check-in photo at two weeks. Touch-ups in the first year are free.

What clients say.
★★★★★
"Marek didn't sell me an idea — he asked what mine was, then drew the version of it I'd been trying to find. Sat for ten hours straight."Tobi C. · Half sleeve · 2025
★★★★★
"Wren's fine-line work feels like a charcoal drawing on skin. The healing was the cleanest of my four tattoos. The other three I'm getting redone here."June M. · Forearm · 2026
★★★★★
"Marek sat me down, asked me three questions, and showed up the next week with a sketch I would frame. Got it tattooed instead."Devon S. · Chest piece · 2025
