Sebastopol, California
The studio
One room, one artist, one client. You won't share the space with walk-ins or a second machine buzzing at the next station.
Built for long sittings
Settle in. Big pieces take a while.
There's a padded table for backs, ribs and legs, an adjustable arm rest, and a reclining chair for everything else. Bring headphones, a snack and something to watch. We take breaks whenever you need one.
The walls are hung with framed drawings and prints: a couple of ravens, a pencil portrait, and one very particular apple.
Hygiene
Clean, every session
Single use
Needles and cartridges are opened in front of you and thrown out when your session ends.
Wrapped and wiped
The machine, cords and bottles are bagged before you sit down. Every surface is disinfected between clients.
Aftercare
You go home with written instructions and a way to reach me if anything looks off while it heals.
Before you come in
How to get ready
A little prep makes the session easier on you and helps the tattoo heal well.
Eat a real meal an hour or two before you arrive.
Wear clothes that give easy access to the placement.
Bring a valid photo ID. You need to be 18 or older, no exceptions.
Skip alcohol the night before. It thins your blood and makes for a rougher session.
Get a good night's sleep. Long sessions are easier when you're rested.
Running late or need to move your date? Call or text as early as you can.
