Tattoo Profile: Every tattoo I work on is unique for each of my clients. We will talk about your idea and look at some artwork so I can get a good idea of your style, make sure that I’m the best artist for your design (hey, we have to make sure it’s worth the wait!) and come up with a composition. It’s great to gather a variety of references from photographs and artwork to fully flesh out your design.
