The process

  1. Free consult: Tell us the idea, show us references, pick your placement and size.
  2. Custom design: Your artist draws it up for your body — not a flash-pick, your piece.
  3. Session: Big black & grey work takes time. We pace sessions so the work stays clean and you stay sane.
  4. Aftercare: Follow our aftercare guide. Touch-ups on our work are free.
