Reference photos is a great tool to communicate your ideas visually.
You'll need to upload reference photos for:

Please note that submitting a request is your expression of interest and doesn't guarantee an appointment with me.
Tattooing is a creative process and I want to deliver my 100% to you. I also need to limit the amount of projects I take on in order to guarantee the quality of my work. For the above reasons, I may not be able to accept your requests.
Thank you for your understanding!
