Dedicated Tattoo Artistry with Unwavering Commitment

“When it comes to tattooing, I go more than the extra mile. I believe every tattoo deserves my full attention, creative energy, and dedication to excellence. Each piece I create is given top priority, ensuring it’s a reflection of my best work. I hold myself to the highest standard and take on projects where I feel confident in both the concept and the time required to bring it to life. If I’m not comfortable with an idea, whether it’s the design or the timeframe, I’ll be upfront about it because I believe in delivering a result that exceeds expectations. Tattoos are more than art—they’re personal, and I aim to make each one a masterpiece you’ll carry with pride.” ~ DP

What to include in you email:

1.  the tattoo idea

2.  the area of coverage 

3.  the style of preferred tattooing you have in mind

4.  color or black n gray?

5.  are there are any coverups involved? If so, please send some clear pictures of what needs to be covered.  *Please note* I very rarely work with other artists tattoos to incorporate into the overall design.

6.  any pictures of examples you may have (this is not necessary though, as I will not reproduce a tattoo that someone else has… it is only to get a better idea of what you may have in mind)

7.  your name and cell number

Tattoo Consultation

After reviewing your email, I will get in touch via text to set up a consultation appointment. The Tattoo Consultation service is the second step towards your dream body art. A successfully executed tattoo begins with understanding your vision and preferences. During this session, we will discuss your ideas, styles, and any concerns you may have.  We take the time to answer your questions and provide insights, ensuring you feel confident in your decisions. This essential step helps us create tattoos that not only look amazing but also hold personal significance. During this time, precise measurements are taken to make sure when i design the tattoo it will fit the area perfectly with little to no need of wasting time making adjustments.

If you decide to book in after the consultation and we discuss a game plan for your tattoo, I take a $1000 non-refundable cash or etransfer deposit to secure all the days necessary to start and finish the piece.  $500 will come off your first appointment and the other $500 remains as a deposit until the last appointment when the tattoo is complete. You will need to fill out a ‘deposit comprehension and tattoo waiver’ form as well.

Make sure to bring your work schedule (if you have one) to cross reference mine when booking.

 

Every client must be measured properly in person—this step cannot be done via video call. Meeting face-to-face ensures I can maximize the use of space for your tattoo, confirm that you understand the booking process clearly, and establish a mutual level of comfort between us. No exceptions are made because this process is crucial in delivering a personalized and high-quality result that we will both be excited about.

 

*Please Note: I pride myself on working efficiently while maintaining exceptional quality in every tattoo I create. I understand that comfort is important, so I offer the use of a numbing agent at no extra cost. This agent is designed to ease discomfort during the session without affecting the healing process of your skin or the final tattoo. My preferred session length is a minimum of 5-6 hours, which allows me to complete substantial work in a single sitting. Compared to most artists, I work at a faster pace, ensuring you get the most value out of your time. Above all, my focus is on delivering artwork that you will wear proudly for life.

 

Choosing the Right Tattoo Artist:  Key Considerations

When researching a tattoo artist to bring your vision to life, it’s crucial to take a thoughtful approach to ensure the experience is both fulfilling and successful. Start by ensuring you are comfortable with their rules and rates. Every artist has their own policies regarding scheduling, deposits, and cancellations, so make sure these align with your expectations.  Next, review their previous work and assess whether you are satisfied with both their skills and work ethic. A professional tattoo artist should demonstrate a commitment to cleanliness, precision, and artistic dedication.  Finally, examine their specific styles to confirm they reflect your idea in the best way possible. Whether you’re drawn to traditional, realism, or abstract designs, the right artist will have a portfolio that resonates with your unique vision. Taking the time to evaluate these factors will help ensure that your tattoo journey is a rewarding one.
