Realism tattooing replicates lifelike images with precise shading and intricate details. This style often includes portraits, animals, and nature scenes, resembling high-quality photographs on the skin.

One week prior to appointment please start lotion the area to be tattooed 3 times a day. Keep your body hydrated. Stay away from Alcohol leading up to and during your appointment because as it dehydrates you and thins your blood. The day of your appointment it's important to be well rested and fed so your body can have the energy to get a tattoo. I recommend bringing snacks and drinks. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area to be tattooed. Treating your body well, being hydrated and having healthy soft skin makes your tattoo experience much more enjoyable.
Pain is subjective and varies from person to person, but most people describe it as a manageable discomfort. The level of pain also depends on the location of the tattoo and the complexity of the design. We can discuss pain management options to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during the process.
After your tattoo is complete, I will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Generally, you should keep the tattoo clean, avoid soaking it in water, wash your tattoo 3 times a day, after every wash apply a thin layer of healing ointment. Avoid direct sunlight and do not scratch or pick at the tattoo as it heals.
Healing times can vary, but typically a tattoo will take about 2-6 weeks to heal on the surface. Full healing, including the deeper layers of skin, can take up to a few months. It's important to follow the aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and to avoid complications.
The cost of a tattoo depends on various factors such as the size, complexity, and placement of the design. I charge an hourly rate or a day rate, and we can discuss an estimate during your consultation. It's best to come in with a budget in mind, and we can work together to create a design that fits within it.
