Want to see your design before your appointment? A consultation is the perfect option!

A tattoo consultation is a meeting with a tattoo artist to discuss the design of a tattoo.

The client can share their artistic vision and preferences for the tattoo, including the size, placement, style, and any details they want to include.

The artist provides guidance and professional input to help ensure the design will translate well as a tattoo.

The client can ask any questions they have about the design or the tattooing process.

It's recommended to bring any references to the consultation, but not necessary.
