Custom tattoo design, drawn for one body.

A guided design experience for people who only plan to do this once. We listen, we sketch by hand, and we refine until the line is right.

Tattoo artist sketching by hand
The process

From an idea on a napkin to a piece you'll keep for life.

01
Conversation

We begin with a quiet, unhurried call. We listen for the idea behind the idea — the meaning, not just the motif.

02
Direction

We send a one-page creative brief: references, style, scale, placement, and the kind of artist this design wants.

03
Drawing

Two to three rounds of original sketches by hand. You respond, we refine. Nothing is finalised until you feel it.

04
On skin

We match you to an artist who can hold the line. We attend, if you want us to. Then we keep your design on file forever.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

No. Most clients arrive with a feeling and a few references. The first call exists to find the shape of the idea before we draw anything.

Yes. We often refine a design a client has carried for years — keeping the meaning, fixing the line, and scaling it correctly to the placement.

Straightforward smaller tattoo projects can start at $25 USD. Original artwork, detailed references, larger scale, cover-ups, color, lettering, rush timing, or extra revision rounds are quoted after intake before you commit. The artist's tattooing fee is separate and quoted by them directly.

We design. We then match you to an artist whose hand suits the piece. This separation is what allows both crafts to be done well.
