Shaded & fine line

Tattoos

Custom pieces drawn up for you: fine lines, solid blacks, lettering and little bits of magic. Here’s what I’ve made so far.

What it costs

Art takes time

With any tattoo it’s hard to put a specific price on it. I don’t like working to a strict hourly rate, because some pieces take longer for different reasons, and we all need breaks and want to be comfortable, not rushed.

As a rough idea you could assume about $100 an hour, but it’s best to ask me for a quote: it may be more or less depending on the design, how long it will take, and whether you’d like me to draw it up for you. I’m always happy to create something personal that fits your budget.

Before you come

  • Wear comfy, breathable clothes that let me get to the spot being tattooed.
  • Get a good night’s sleep, eat well and drink plenty of water.
  • Bring water and something to eat to keep your energy up.
  • No alcohol, and nothing else that intoxicates, the night or morning before.

Pre and post care

How it works

From your idea
to your skin

Every piece is drawn up for you before it goes anywhere near a needle. Send me your references and I’ll work them into the design.

  1. Tell me your idea

    Use the request form, and send any reference pictures through so I can work them into the design.

  2. I draw it up

    I’ll draft a couple of concept ideas based on what you’ve asked for.

  3. You get a quote

    An estimate for your piece. Some take longer than expected, so times and prices can vary.

  4. We book you in

    A time that suits, from my studio hours, in my registered studio in Indented Head. The address comes with your booking.
