Most people don’t come in with a perfect concept and they don’t need to. They come in with a feeling. A shift. Something they can’t fully put into words yet.
That’s where I start.
I translate that into something visual, cohesive, and lasting.
The result isn’t just a tattoo.
It’s a talisman, a myth, a symbolic transformation, or adornment.

My process is for people who want something considered, beautiful, and built to last.
The best work comes from clients who trust the process
The Process
Step 1 — Request
Submit a short request form through here or directly with Time Bomb Tattoo so I can understand your idea and determine fit.
Step 2 — Direction
I guide the concept based on your input.
Step 3 — Design
Your piece is created with intention, flow, symbolism, best design practices and long term wear in mind.
Step 4 — Session
You see the design at your first appointment. Any modifications can be done if needed before a focused session to bring the piece to life. For many pieces, multiple sessions are to be expected.
A limited number of sessions are scheduled during quieter hours for clients who prefer a more private, low-stimulation environment.
Sessions
I work primarily in half or full day sessions
Full Day Rate: $1200
(Exact rate confirmed upon booking)
A limited number of sessions are available each month, including select quieter time slots for clients who need a more private environment.
