Awesome! You're in the right place ~
First want to make sure you review and understand our process and FAQ's before selecting your artist and submitting for consultation.
The first step in the tattoo process is discovery.
If you want a timeless tattoo that you will continue to enjoy and love over time, put more thought into concept than you do price. It's a tattoo and will be on you forever.
