    Design

    On the day of your appointment I design your tattoo with you by my side for a more fluid dynamic so we can arrive at your design. You'll be able to make any necessary changes and when you're happy with it we move to the next stage.

    We transfer the stencil to your skin, defining placement and size beforehand, and once you're happy with it, we tattoo.
