02 / Process
A unique process of research, study and creation, so the tattoo says who you are.
Every tattoo starts with an idea. My work is to explore its possibilities and turn it into a unique piece of art, created for you.
You share your idea, reference or intention.
We assess the complexity and working time to set the investment, the terms and the session plan.
I start the research and drawing studies, exploring shapes, references and composition possibilities.
I develop the artwork around anatomy, proportions and how the body moves, using stencil, freehand or both.
We settle the details and turn it into a tattoo.
The tattoo is protected with Tropical Derme, a protective film for tattoos. You get aftercare guidance, healing follow-up and a free touch-up within 40 days.
