Services built for a predictable heal and long-term readability

This page explains what we offer, how we plan sessions, and how pricing is usually structured. Tattoos and piercings vary by anatomy, placement, and complexity—so our process is designed to confirm the details before you commit.

Pricing guidance

How quotes are set

  • Placement and size (a 4 cm design behaves differently than a 14 cm one).
  • Technique and time: linework density, colour layering, and shading passes.
  • Session pacing and skin tolerance—avoiding overwork is part of quality control.

We confirm an estimate during consultation and outline what is included (design time, stencil fitting, and written aftercare).

Core services

Each service includes a sterile station setup, methodical marking or stencil fitting, and written aftercare. For custom tattoos, we treat stencil fit and line weight as non-negotiable steps; for piercings, we treat jewellery guidance as part of the procedure, not an add-on.

Custom tattoos

Designed from references and intent, then fitted to placement and movement.

Custom tattooing starts with a brief: placement, approximate size, style references, and what the piece should communicate. The artist then builds a composition that respects anatomy and readability. Before the first pass, we validate stencil alignment and confirm line weight choices—small details that reduce blur and keep edges crisp as the tattoo settles. We also plan session pacing so the skin is not overworked, especially on high-motion areas.

Typical duration

2–6 hours for many pieces; large work may be split into sessions.

Pricing guidance

Quoted after consultation based on size, complexity, and time.

Fine-line and micro detail

Fine-line succeeds when spacing is planned and the stencil transfer is clean. We prioritise readability over tiny noise and choose line weights that will still hold shape after healing.

Blackwork and contrast pieces

Solid blacks, deliberate negative space, and edge control. We map the contrast plan up front so the piece reads cleanly at distance and ages with intention.

Piercing

Precise marking, sterile setup, and jewellery guidance for calm healing.

Piercing is a short appointment, but the planning matters. We confirm anatomy suitability, mark placement carefully, and discuss jewellery materials and fit. We also outline expected swelling windows and practical aftercare milestones. If anything looks off during the first days, you can contact the studio by phone or email for a quick check-in route rather than guessing.

Typical duration

15–45 minutes depending on placement.

Included

Marking, sterile station, and written aftercare guidance.

Consultations

A short, practical step to confirm placement, size, and feasibility. For custom tattoos, it also locks in the brief so the design phase is efficient and accountable.

Pricing and session timing

Tattoo and piercing pricing depends on time, complexity, and how the design needs to be engineered to sit well on the body. We avoid bait pricing. Instead, we provide an estimate after reviewing your placement, size, and references, then confirm the plan before the appointment is final.

For tattoos, the biggest driver is the number of clean passes required—linework density, shading texture, and colour layering. For piercings, pricing reflects placement complexity and jewellery requirements. If a piece is likely to need multiple sessions, we explain why and outline a sensible schedule rather than pushing an overly long single sitting.

Deposits and rescheduling

A deposit holds your appointment time and covers the drawing and preparation time for custom work. If you need to reschedule, contact the studio as early as possible so the slot can be offered to someone else and your booking can move to the next available date.

Service process, step by step

The studio process is structured so decisions happen early—before the needle work starts. That includes composition checks, stencil alignment, jewellery selection, and the aftercare plan. A clean result is not only about talent; it is also about station control, disciplined passes, and leaving the skin in a state that can heal predictably.

  1. 01

    Brief and feasibility check

    Share placement, approximate size, and references. We confirm whether fine details will remain readable, discuss anatomy constraints, and flag realistic session lengths.

  2. 02

    Design and stencil fitting

    The design is shaped to placement and movement. We test the stencil on skin and adjust composition, line weight, and negative space before any tattooing starts.

  3. 03

    Procedure and station control

    Barrier protection, tidy station resets, and structured passes. We pace sessions to avoid overworking the skin and to keep saturation consistent.

  4. 04

    Aftercare and check-in route

    You leave with written aftercare and clear healing milestones. Questions after the appointment are handled by email or phone, so you are not left guessing.
