I came to tattooing the long way round — through design, through drawing, through a habit of getting lost in small details. These days my work sits mostly in fine line and black-and-grey realism: thin needles, soft shading, pieces sized to live well on skin for a long time.
I'm not in a hurry. I'd rather spend an extra hour with you on the stencil than watch a flash decision turn permanent. We'll talk the idea through, sketch, sit with it, and only start when it feels right.
We’ll take the time to get the idea right before any needle touches skin.Request a Tattoo
Most of what I’m asked to draw is small, quiet and personal — black-and-grey realism, single-line illustration, pieces with their own little story. The brief I love most: something that means something to me, but only a few people will know what. That’s the sweet spot. Detail you have to look twice to find.

Send a request through the form linked at the top of this page. A few lines about what you have in mind, where on the body, the rough size, and a couple of reference images if you have them. I read every request myself; if the idea is a fit for what I do, I’ll come back to you with next steps and dates.

Always. I don’t tattoo flash drawn by other artists, and I don’t repeat designs I’ve already done. Every piece is drawn from scratch around your idea, your references, and the part of the body it’ll live on.
-
I quote per piece, not per hour, once we’ve talked the design through. Size, placement, and how dense the detail is all change the number. You’ll see a clear estimate before you commit to a date.
-
Yes — a small deposit holds the appointment and goes toward the final price of the tattoo. It isn’t refundable, but it’s never extra.
-
Life happens — give me as much notice as you can and we’ll move things around. No-shows and last-minute cancellations forfeit the deposit, since the chair has been held empty for you.
