My view is that a tattoo should not hide the skin underneath but enhance the beauty of what's already there. I prefer simple line drawings + blackwork with placements that flow with your natural curves + musculature.

Ideally, you will come to me with an idea. We'll work together (hopefully in person person but sometimes online) to choose reference, size, and placement. We will establish a budget and timeline, and depending on the size of the piece you may or may not have to put down a deposit. After that, I'll come back with preliminary sketches. If everything looks good from there, we can schedule an appointment, or otherwise, I'll adjust the design to better fit what you had in mind.
