    All of my work is one of a kind, custom designed for you, based on your description, and in one of the above-listed styles.

    Reference imagery is no longer necessary unless requested by the artist (ie. portrait or recreation work)

    I reserve the right to refuse any design I do not feel comfortable with or do not feel I am the right artist to complete the work. If this is the case, please do not take offense. Your design may be great, but I may not be the right artist for your piece. I will provide a reference to another artist in these situations.

Tattoo Aftercare

  • Tagaderm wrap. Leave film wrap on for 3 to 5 days (no more than 7). If fluid breaks seal and leaks within the first 12 to 24 hours take wrap off and proceed with normal tattoo aftercare.

  • If your tattoo is bandaged you may leave it on for 2 to 4 hours (nothing longer than 6 hours if unable to take off within 4 hours). If your tattoo is not bandaged you may wash it off within an hour after the tattoo has been finished.

  • Washing your tattoo is IMPORTANT for proper healing. Luke warm water and antibacterial soap (recommendation is Liquid Dial Gold). Gently wash your tattoo with your finger tips with clean hands, do not use a wash cloth and DO NOT SCRUB. After washing you may DAB dry with a CLEAN towel. Do this 3 times a day - morning, mid day, before bed.

  • Along with washing you may use normal unscented hand lotion (recommendation is Curel Hand Lotion). No more than 2 times daily, morning and before bed. Do this AFTER tattoo has been washed.

  • Your tattoo will peel, flake, and itch. DO NOT pick at scabs or dead skin and DO NOT itch it. Let the peeling process happen naturally.

  • Avoid over saturation and soaking, normal showering and washing is fine but NO SWIMMING, SAUNAS, HOT TUBS, BATHS, LAKES-RIVERS-OCEANS until your tattoo is completely scab free and healed.

  • Avoid direct sunlight on your tattoo for at least 2 weeks. DO NOT TAN!

  • Wear loose fitting clothes over tattooed area. Do not shave over tattoo until healed.

If you notice anything out of place or funny looking throughout the healing process of your tattoo, contact your tattoo artist for help and guidance to correct any situation you may have.
