How Does It Work?
- Define your motif and style — Animal portrait, colour theme, or abstract symbol? Decide size and placement before the consultation.
- Choose an artist for your style — Realism, fine-line and blackwork portfolios differ significantly — check reference pieces.
- Consultation — Finalise the design sketch, size and price estimate before booking.
- Session day — Come rested and not on an empty stomach — colour and large pieces can run several hours.
- Aftercare — Avoid sun and submersion for the first two weeks; keep the skin moisturised.
