Client notes

— Jordan S.

"Justin provides not only stellar artwork and a professional setting but is also very personable and great time to hang with for some long sessions. First time I got a tattoo from him it was my 2nd time ever getting tattood and first time getting a professional tattoo. Justin made me feel very welcomed and calm for the session, and the tattoo was exactly what I was looking for. The last one i received from him is still my favorite, and knew when after we finished I wanted him to complete it into a sleeve. Looking forward to schedule my next appointment with him in the future!"

"It was a pleasant experience from the start. I had a large, detailed back piece idea that required some back and forth. He was responsive, professional, and brought the concept to life beautifully. “Bedside” manner is a 10/10. Felt super comfortable and enjoyed speaking to him for two full day sessions. The tattoo turned out exactly like I envisioned. Highly recommend Justin."

what is the aftercare process?

The aftercare process is important as it relates directly to the longevity of your tattoo. I use a derm product that stays on the tattoo for 5-6 days which makes healing your tattoo pretty simple. If derm doesn't work for you, wash the tattoo 2-3 times a day with unscented soap (dial or softsoap works great). Pat it dry with a paper towel. Apply a thin layer of lotion 3-4 x a day (fragrance free lotion like lubriderm works best). Repeat this process for around 2 weeks. No sun, no soaking in water and do not pick at or scratch the tattoo.

The cost also depends on the size and design of the tattoo. I charge a daily rate and also require clients to pay a booking fee that will later be applied to the balance of their tattoo.

how much does a tattoo cost?

I currently accept cash, paypal, or venmo payments.

What forms of payment do you accept?

The duration depends entirely on the size and design of the tattoo.

How long will it take to complete my tattoo?

A week out, it is best to ensure you are moisturizing your skin and drinking plenty of water. The day before, please avoid alcohol and ensure you have a good night's rest. Before coming to the session have a decent sized meal as eating before your tattoo is VERY important.
