WORKING TOGETHER
Process +

Each project begins with an exchange of ideas and develops on the day of your appointment.

I usually create a preliminary draft in the morning, using everything we discussed beforehand.

On the day itself, we finalize the design together — this allows for better flow, proportion, and placement. In some cases, freehand elements are used to better adapt the design to the body's contours.

Design & sessions +

Large-scale projects are built over multiple sessions.

Arm sleeves typically take 7–10 sessions, though most are completed in 7–8.

The final number depends on scale, complexity, skin, and design openness. Because each piece evolves during the process, an exact session count cannot be guaranteed upfront.

Preparing for your appointment +

Before your appointment:

– Come alone (no friends or guests)
– No alcohol 24 hours prior
– Sleep well and eat beforehand
– Shave and moisturize the area at least a week in advance
– Stay hydrated
– Wear comfortable, neutral clothing

Booking & deposits +

A deposit is required to secure your appointment.

Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. One reschedule is allowed with at least 10 days' notice and must take place within 3 months.

No-shows forfeit the deposit and future bookings.
