Half Day + Design session (4 hrs tattoo time + 4hrs for design and composition)

4 Hours of Custom Design & Composition + 4 Hours of Tattooing

This session is designed for clients looking for a more personalized tattoo experience, with dedicated time for both creative development and tattoo execution. With 4 hours focused on design and composition and 4 hours dedicated to tattooing, we can work together to develop a custom piece that reflects your vision, fits your body, and flows naturally with your chosen placement.

1. Consultation & Creative Direction

We'll begin by discussing your ideas, inspiration, reference images, style preferences, and the overall vision for your tattoo. This is where we establish the concept, composition, and direction of the artwork.

2. Custom Design & Composition — 4 Hours

The first part of your session is dedicated to developing your custom design. We'll focus on composition, flow, sizing, placement, and visual balance to create artwork tailored to your body and the area being tattooed.

This time allows us to refine the concept and work toward a design that feels cohesive and intentional before moving into the tattooing process.

3. Design Review & Stencil Placement

Once the design is ready, we'll review the final composition together and make any necessary adjustments within the session's scope. The stencil will then be applied so we can assess the placement, proportions, and overall flow on your body before tattooing begins.

4. Tattooing — 4 Hours

The second part of your session is dedicated to bringing the design to life. We'll focus on tattooing the approved artwork with attention to detail, technique, and quality.

The amount of work completed will depend on the size, complexity, placement, and detail of the design. If the piece requires additional time, we can discuss continuing in a future session.

5. Breaks & Comfort

Your comfort is important throughout the day. We'll allow for reasonable breaks, hydration, and stretching as needed. Please communicate with your artist if you need a break or feel uncomfortable at any point.

6. Aftercare & Healing

At the end of your appointment, you'll receive instructions on how to properly care for your new tattoo during the healing process. Following the recommended aftercare guidelines will help protect your tattoo as it heals.

HOW TO PREPARE

  • Get a full night's rest before your appointment.

  • Eat a substantial meal before arriving.

  • Stay hydrated throughout the day.

  • Wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the tattoo area.

  • Bring any reference images, ideas, or inspiration you'd like to incorporate.

  • Avoid alcohol and arrive sober and ready for your session.

  • Let your artist know about any relevant allergies, medical conditions, or medications.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

This appointment reserves dedicated time for both design development and tattooing. The design portion is intended to establish and refine the creative direction of your piece, but highly complex projects may require additional design time or a separate appointment.

The 4 hours of tattooing do not guarantee completion of the entire tattoo. Any remaining work can be discussed and scheduled for a future session.

THE GOAL: To create a thoughtfully composed, custom tattoo that feels intentional, fits your body, and brings your vision to life through a collaborative design and tattooing experience.
