How a custom piece happens.

Four steps, no surprises. Most custom work is on skin within three weeks of the consult.

  1. Consult

    Twenty minutes, free, in person or on a call. Bring references, a placement and a rough size.

  2. Deposit

    A $100 deposit holds your date and comes off the final price.

  3. Drawing

    Your artist draws the piece and shows it to you the day before. Changes are welcome.

  4. Session

    Stencil, placement check, then the needle. You leave with aftercare and a touch-up promise.

Tell us the idea.

Send a few references, where on the body, and roughly how big. We reply within two days with an artist and a consult time.
