The process
-
The hardest part is usually figuring out which design to choose. If you already know what you want and why, you're ahead. If you're still working through it, here are some advice that might be helpful.
If you feel stuck, you can start collecting reference images, screenshots from Instagram, photos from gardens, botanical illustrations, or create a Pinterest board with everything that catches your eye. You don't need to know exactly what you want before reaching out. Sometimes, during our conversation, you may find that your ideas become clearer.
Some people choose flowers based on meaning. Birth flowers are popular for this, they can represent your own birth month, someone close to you, or a combination of people in a bouquet. Others pick plants that remind them of a specific place, memory, or moment. And some people just want something that looks beautiful on their body, which is completely valid.

Once you have a clear idea of what you’re looking for, you can complete the form here. After you submit your request, you will receive a response within 48 working hours. This will include the total cost, current availability, and the approximate length of your appointment.
This form is designed to help me fully understand your idea so I can provide a more accurate price and duration of the session.

Not every tattoo needs a consultation, but for first-timers or more complex pieces, it can be helpful. A consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss your idea in detail and explore different design possibilities.
During a consultation, we usually discuss what you're looking for, placement options, size adjustments, and any concerns you might have about pain, healing, or the process itself.

Every design begins with a conversation. Once I understand what you are looking for, your ideas, references, and the feeling you want to capture, I take time to reflect before I start drawing. I do not use templates or pre-made designs. Each piece is created from scratch, considering your story, the natural flow of your body, and the details that matter to you.
I usually sketch the design ahead of your session, using the references and notes we have discussed. For larger or more complex pieces, sometimes I draw directly on your skin. This helps ensure the composition fits and moves naturally with you. My focus is always on creating something intentional, and unique. I never rush this part of the process.
Before we begin, we review the design together and make any adjustments you need. I encourage you to share your thoughts openly. This process is collaborative and your input is essential. My goal is for you to feel confident and at ease, knowing the design is truly yours.
If you have questions or want to discuss ideas before your appointment, you can always reach out. I am here to make sure the creative process feels clear, personal, and honest from start to finish.
-
To confirm your appointment, a deposit is required. This secures your spot in the calendar and allows me to begin preparing your design.
We will look for a date that works for both of us, taking into account your preferences and my schedule.
Once the deposit is received, your appointment is confirmed. I will send you all the details you need for your session, including the studio address and how to prepare for the day.

A few simple steps can help make your tattoo session more comfortable. Before your appointment, I will send you a detailed list of recommendations, but here are some key points to keep in mind:
Choose comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area we will be tattooing. A good night’s sleep will help you feel calm and make the experience easier. Stay hydrated in the days leading up to your session. You are welcome to bring music or a podcast you enjoy, anything that helps you relax.
-
When you arrive, we will review the final details of your design together. This is your chance to make any last adjustments so the piece feels right for you. Once you are happy with the design, we begin the tattoo.
Throughout the session, we take small breaks as needed. These pauses are important for both of us and help keep the process comfortable and calm. You are welcome to bring one person with you to your appointment. They can wait in the reception area during your session.
At the end, I take photos of your tattoo for my portfolio. You always have the choice to decide whether these images are shared or kept private.
If you have any questions or need anything during your session, just let me know. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and supported.

How you care for your tattoo in the first few days is important. I'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions after your session. The basics include keeping the tattoo clean and moisturized, avoiding sun exposure during healing, and not scratching or picking at the tattoo as it heals.
The surface of your tattoo heals in about 2 weeks, but the deeper layers of skin take 1 month to fully heal.
