What I tattoo

Lettering

Names, dates, script and the words you’ve carried a while.

A name, a date, a line you’ve been repeating to yourself for years. Lettering is drawing — the letterforms get made for your placement, not pulled from a font menu.

How I work it

I draw the letters by hand, sized and spaced for the curve of the body part it sits on. Send me the exact text and spelling — I’ll come back with options for the feel of it, not a font sample.

What to bring me

The words, spelled exactly as you want them. If it’s a name or a date, double-check it before you send it — I will ask you again, and then once more on the day.

By the piece, by the session, or a full day — whatever the work needs. I’ll tell you the number before you commit to anything. A $50 deposit books the appointment and comes off the price.
