small designs

Here is an ongoing exploration of aesthetics and imagery. Each piece is designed to be finished in one or two sessions. They are intended to be stand-alone pieces and cannot be added to later.
 

Some concepts I post here are already fully shaded, but the more plain-looking ones will also be fully shaded with a lot of contrast. Examples of completed work can be found on my gallery page or instagram.
 

Pricing and completion time are reflective of the care and time required to execute intricately detailed designs.

Thanks for looking!

I only tattoo Tuesdays to Fridays. All appointments begin at noon.

​

To claim, email me with the following info:

​

  • You do not have to wait until my books are open to claim any of these!
     

  • A screenshot of the piece you want, first and second, and even third choice options if you like more than one in case your first choice got claimed.
     

  • Where you're thinking of placing it. If possible, choose areas that aren't crowded with other tattoos to ensure a better fit.
     

  • A photo of the area to be tattooed. See my placement photo guide to better understand how to take a usable photo.
     

  • Are you a local or will you be travelling into Chicago?
     

  • For tattoos done in Chicago, I will let you schedule yourself through my booking page. 
     

  • I tattoo Tuesdays to Fridays.

From there we can begin to figure out the possibility of booking. All pieces will require a non-refundable $200 deposit to claim.
