HOW IT WORKS
QUESTIONS · BEFORE YOU BOOK
I work exclusively in black-and-gray fine-line and micro-realism, sometimes with a touch of red for dynamic contrast. You can choose a pre-drawn flash piece or bring references for something custom. Either way, we'll refine it together on the spot so it flows with your placement and feels like it's always been part of you.
Most clients say pain level is around 3/10, some even doze off. I have a light hand and keep the pace calm and collaborative. Most fine-line pieces take 20–45 minutes so the discomfort is brief.
The easiest way is to fill out the Tattoo Inquiry form on this site or text me at (760) 405-8955 with your idea, reference photos, preferred placement, and rough size. I'll reply same-day with a quote and next steps. A $50 deposit locks in your spot.
Yes, free lifetime touch-ups on all work. Fine-line tattoos can soften over time. If your piece ever loses crispness, I'll refresh it. That's part of my commitment to the work.
Most pieces take 20–45 minutes. Sessions are booked in 2-hour windows to give us time to talk through design and placement without feeling rushed.
A $50 deposit is required to hold your appointment. It goes toward the cost of your tattoo. Deposits are non-refundable, but they transfer if you need to reschedule with advance notice.
Pricing depends on size, detail, and placement. My shop minimum is $100, most fine-line pieces fall between $150–$400. Larger or more detailed work is quoted individually. Send me your reference and placement and I'll give you a same-day estimate.
For custom work I quote by the piece, not the hour. That way you know your price before we start and there are no surprises. Flash pieces have a set price listed with each design.
Eat a good meal beforehand, stay hydrated, and wear or bring clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your session. Come with clean skin, no lotions or oils on the area.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“Stephen helped bring my ideas for my first tattoo to life. He was patient with me as we talked through some reference images and ways to tweak the design to make it my own. The tattoo came just as I hoped and I'm very happy with the outcome. Looking forward to working with Stephen again on future tattoos!”
