Tattoo Designs
Custom Tattoos - Drawn designs are designed with you present on the day of the tattoo appointment due to the intensity of my schedule. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions that can be made to this at this time!
Flash Designs - design change requests can be asked for most of my flash art. You may request prior or during your session.
Cover Ups - They will only be accepted if I feel confident that the cover up can be executed. It depends on what you currently have and what you want to cover it up with. Please email directly for approvals.
