However, I ask that you trust in my artistic process when it comes to designing your tattoo. All of my work is custom and one-of-a-kind, created specifically for you. I do not replicate existing tattoos, whether mine or someone else’s.

Trust in Tom’s artistic vision is essential, you’ve chosen him for his unique style and creativity. 

Please understand that major design changes cannot be made on the day of your session, as this takes away from the time allocated for preparation and tattooing.

Getting a tattoo can be uncomfortable, but the level of pain varies from person to person and depends on the placement of the tattoo.

The cost of a tattoo depends on factors like size, placement, and complexity of the design. Once Tom has reviewed your idea and determined how many sessions it may require, an estimate will be provided.
