To honor our time and energy shared, I generally finalize your custom tattoo designs before our actual session (unless we are designing freehand, of course). Once your deposit and tattoo design details have been received, we'll work online via email/DM together so that we both show up on the day of tattooing knowing what we'll ink. Tattoo sessions are booked with buffer time for stencilling: while we have the design ready, stencilling will provide you the best feedback on scale and placement. And we stencil as much as we need to to get it right 🫶🏼
