We begin with a consultation to review ideas, references, and placement, then develop sketches for approval. On the day, we prepare the skin, apply a tested stencil, and use professional machines, sterile needles, and quality inks. Sessions are paced for comfort and accuracy, with aftercare guidance provided to support clean healing.

Each project is developed through consultation, sketching, and iterative refinement to suit anatomy, style, and narrative. Work is tailored for clients in High Park and surrounding neighbourhoods seeking intentional, well-executed pieces.
