Tattoo Guides
These pages exist for the decisions that happen before a studio visit: where the work sits, how small it can go, who will see it, and what to say in a consultation. The gallery is for browsing. Guides are for finishing one job. They are not medical advice, not quotes, and not a substitute for a licensed artist.
