Before the needle

What’s your tattoo style?

I create personalized blackwork, dark realism, dark surrealism and bio-organic designs, blending macabre imagery with organic textures and shapes that flow with your body. Send me a message if you’re unsure. If I’m not the right artist for your idea, I’ll refer you to a colleague.

How do I book?

Send me your idea, a picture of preferred placement, approximate size, and any reference images. We’ll discuss the direction, price, and time needed before scheduling your appointment. You don’t need a fully formed concept—we can explore it together during a consultation.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

I ask for a non-refundable deposit to secure your appointment. I’ll explain the amount and payment terms before you book. You can move your deposit once when you reschedule with at least five days’ notice. See the handbook for the full deposit, rescheduling, and cancellation policy.

What can I expect at my session?

We’ll review the concept and mood-board before tattooing. At the start, I draw the composition with markers directly on your skin, following your anatomy, making sure you are involved in the designing process. Before we tattoo permanently, I make sure we are both satisfied with the composition.

There’s time to discuss adjustments, and we’ll take breaks when needed. Come rested, eat beforehand, and bring snacks and comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area.
