Fine-line Tattoo
Your Journey Starts with a Form
Before we pick up the needle, you must fill out a detailed tattoo request form. This essential first step helps me understand your vision and prepare for our session. Booking is only possible once this request has been reviewed.
Detail is everything. In your form, please specify exact names or script text, your preferred general font style, relevant birthdates, and any other inspiration. The more info you provide, the faster I can translate your story into ink.
Once your form is submitted and received, keep an eye on your phone. You will receive a text message confirming the next steps and providing exact instructions on what you need to book.
Response times vary from 48 hours up to 2 months based on current volume. Don't worry about missing out—since appointments are typically short, finding an open slot once you're cleared to book is usually quick and easy.
What Happens Next
when you come in for your new tattoo, this is what to expect.
Step 1
Approve Design
When you arrive, I’ll show you your design so you can see it in real life, not just on a screen. This is your moment to ask questions, request tiny tweaks, or confirm that everything feels perfect before we move forward.
Step 2
Perfect Placement
One of two things usually happens: either you love the first placement, or we tweak it together until it feels just right. We’ll check the size, angle, and flow with your body so your tattoo looks intentional and flattering from every angle.
Step 3
Tattoo Time
Time for the magic. Once everything is approved, we’ll start your tattoo and I’ll walk you through each step so you always know what’s happening. My goal is to keep you comfortable, calm, and excited while we bring your fine line piece to life.
Art That's Eternal
Once your ink is complete, the recovery phase begins. While every person heals differently, the process is typically smooth and straightforward.
Â
Initially, your tattoo will look bold and dark, but it will settle into a much softer, lighter tone after four weeks.
​
Any severe redness, raised patches, or hives, please contact your doctor immediately as this may be a sign of allergic reaction. Extremely uncommon, but still possible.
​
Following the provided aftercare instructions will ensure your tattoo heals beautifully.
Â
Should any minor line imperfections occur—a natural possibility in fine-line work—I offer one complimentary touch-up per tattoo session to ensure your art stays perfect.
Â
Subsequent touch-ups are available for a small fee of $20.

Aftercare is Key
★ I will put a protective covering on your new tattoo. Keep that on until the end of your night, then remove the clear covering, wash gently with antibacterial soap, and apply a thin layer of the provided ointment or Aquaphor.
​
★ Gently wash 2–3 times daily using lukewarm water and unscented antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
​
★ Apply a thin layer of provided ointment or Aquaphor 2–3 times daily to keep skin hydrated without clogging delicate pores.
​
★ For 2 weeks, avoid sun, soaking, and picking. Wear loose clothes and no rubbing to keep your fine lines crisp.
Absolutely Avoid
★ No swimming or submerging in any water for 7 days, or until the surface skin is fully healed.
★ No steam rooms or long, hot showers directly on the tattoo. Heat & Humidity can ruin the tattoo.
★ No picking, scratching, or itching the tattoo.
★ No tanning beds or direct sun on the tattoo. this can scar the tattoo.
★ No touching your tattoo with dirty or unwashed hands. Wash hands before applying ointment.
