A More Personal Way to Plan Your Tattoo
Bring your references, early sketches, or simply the idea you have been carrying with you. I will listen closely, ask useful questions, and help clarify the visual direction without losing what makes the concept personal. We can discuss style, scale, placement, and how the design may work with your body.
The consultation also creates a clear plan for scheduling and preparation. You will leave with a better understanding of the process, the decisions still to make, and what to expect when the tattoo appointment arrives.
