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.
You’re drawn to symbolism, beauty, atmosphere, and designs with presence
You want a custom work that feels intentional, distinctive, and deeply yours
You value artistry, guidance, and long term design integrity
This is for you if…
You’re looking for the cheapest option
You want an exact copy of another tattoo
You want to control every design decision without trusting the process
This is not for you if…
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 and pricing. Once we finalize the design, you secure your appointment through the studio with a deposit.
Step 2 — Direction
I guide the placement, scale, and flow to ensure the tattoo fits your body and your concept based on your input and best design practices with long term wear in mind.
Step 3 — Design
Your piece is created with intention, flow, symbolism, and expertly picked color palettes that is best for your design elements and your unique skin tone.
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 by request prefer a more private, low-stimulation environment.
