this is where we dive into the energetics of your new art. we take time to know one another and settle into the space. we discuss your intentions with your piece, what elements you hope to include and where it would like to land on your body

I may take a short time to create a plan of action and then we begin the creation process. I will use freehand designing as much as possible and electronic design when necessary

you as the client have complete control of your autonomy, this is a co-creative process and you are encouraged to voice your desires and dislikes. this is why my focus is one client a day..to ensure we have freedom to shift if needed

I would rather you leave my studio with no artwork than to leave with something you don’t fully love

we will complete the tattoo in stages necessary for the best possible outcome. here we work together to be present with the experience as fully as possible. we will take occasional breaks to move our bodies, snack, get fresh air..etc

in this experience you are encouraged to communicate any discomfort or needs you may have. my studio is a space for the full human experience of receiving permanent art

each sessions includes a 45 min sound alchemy session to regulate your system before leaving

sound has a beautiful way of allowing us to tone our vagal nerve, relax into a state of regenerative healing and leaving us feeling more settled in our bodies

this will be a catalyst in your healing process in the days to come after your tattoo is applied

*depending on time frame of tattoo execution, we may go over the 6hr mark. this does not effect your price, though I want you to be aware of time. if for some reason this doesn’t fit with your schedule we can forego this part

you will be fully informed on your after care process before you leave, as well you will be emailed a written version for your reference. you will also leave with a goodie bag containing all the items necessary to help with healing your new artwork
