Drawing /Design Process:
*Please ensure any and all specific details for your tattoo have been discussed at time of booking. Try to include as many specifics as possible, if you are particular about any aspects of the design. Some clients prefer to give a loose idea and let me design something unique for them, and that is ok too.
*I am unable to change the design idea agreed upon after the deposit has been submitted. This will ensure I have you booked for the correct amount of time, and will avoid further confusion and added drawing/ redesigning time.
PLEASE NOTE: *Ony 1 edit/ modification to the drawing is permitted per design, so please be sure to be as specific as possible at the time of consultation/ booking and include all of the details of your tattoo.
