Question 1

Do you tattoo all skin types and tones?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, I have no problem with any of skin type or color. My style fit perfectly for an ivory or a darks skin tone 👍🏻

Question 2

Will I see the design before the appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, after the deposit is sent I am starting to draw the main composition of the design and usually sending some sketches to approve on the early stages. After that I am working on details and can show some work in progress! I like then people getting inspired before sessions by the pictures of theirs future tattoo, it’s make the whole process easier and more comfortable for both :)

Question 3

Do you charge by the piece or by the hour?

Accepted Answer

I usually charge by the piece or by flat rates, such as full-day and half-day rates.

On a consultation I usually ask about the budget for a tattoo and based on that we can plan the size and details of the design.

Question 4

Do you offer numbing options?

Accepted Answer

Yes I do! I am not against it like most of the artists. I personally use a lot of numbing cream on myself and I love it. It comes with some challenges and during the tattooing and healing processes BUT if we must use it - I am open for it. 
I also have different numbing options - cream, gel and sprays!

Question 5

How long is your “full day” ?

Accepted Answer

Tattooing, whether it’s freehand or stencil work, typically takes up to 8 hours. 
If you decide to spend a full day with me, you can expect to spend at least 10 hours with me, which is essentially a whole day.

Question 6

Do you do cover-ups or do you tattoo scars?

Accepted Answer

It’s depends! Some tattoos are not easily coverable without a laser removal, depends of the darkness and details of the design you want. It’s always an options to skip the  laser part, but you need to be prepared for some blackout parts and a large size of the whole cover-up tattoo! 
Scars are less difficult to cover then an old tattoo, but some of them needs to be treated with a special cream or laser treatment ( if it’s big and  voluminous for example). Scars has to be at least 1 yo before it can be covered with a tattoo. Also - not all tattoo elements and details will cover it and will look good on a scar.
