Do you take custom requests?

I take on custom work if it fits within my style and interests. If you’ve got a strong idea, feel free to reach out.

I work from Fellowship MCR Tattoo, The address and details will be shared once your booking is confirmed.

How do I book a tattoo?

Just fill out the enquiry form and I’ll get back to you if it’s something I think would suit my style of work. You can also apply for flash directly through my GetInk profile. Just include the design you’re interested in, preferred size and placement, and a bit about why it speaks to you.

Can I change or resize a flash design?

Small adjustments are usually fine, but the core design stays as-is. The flash is meant to be chosen for what it is, not redesigned.

What kind of work don’t you do?

I don’t do realism, fine-line micro tattoos, or dainty pieces. If you’re after something very specific outside my style, I’ll usually recommend another artist.
