THE PROCESS

When a customer approaches me about a tattoo there are a few things I need to know

​

• The images you want included

• Where you want the tattoo to go

• What size are you looking for

• The style you have in mind

• If you want colour, black & grey or a combination of the two

​​

This helps me build an image in my head of what you're looking for, how I'm going to layout the design, how long it's going to take, etc.

I will then take all the information you have given me and start to create your design.  This isn't a single step process - it's a two way conversation.  Once I've made a start I will show you the custom design, explain to you how it will work as a tattoo and if you want anything tweaked, rearranged, added or removed, I can do that at this point.  This will continue until you and I are both happy with the design, so there are no surprises on the big day.

On the day itself, you will be provided with written information on the tattoo process and I will explain to you exactly what I'm going to do before I start.  I'll prewarn you right before the need touches the skin - as I said before - no surprises.  I listen to you, the customer, what you say verbally but also your body language - if you need a short break, to readjust your position or just need a cuppa.  I always tell my customers I don't want you to be in any more discomfort than you need to be in.  Tattoos are not comfortable but that doesn't mean I can't help in some way.
