Narrative Driven Tattooing

  • Every meaningful tattoo begins with a story.

    These sessions are designed for people who want more than beautiful artwork—they want a piece that reflects who they are, where they've been, or the chapter they're stepping into. Whether you're honoring someone you love, celebrating personal growth, marking a milestone, or simply creating something that feels authentically you, we'll build your tattoo around your story.

    Our process begins with conversation. Together we'll explore your ideas, experiences, symbolism, and aesthetic preferences before transforming them into a completely custom design that couldn't belong to anyone else. Every element is chosen with intention, resulting in artwork that's as meaningful as it is visually striking.

    Narrative-driven projects are best suited for larger custom work such as sleeves, leg sleeves, back pieces, or multi-session projects, allowing the design to unfold naturally over time while maintaining a cohesive vision from beginning to end.

    This isn't about choosing a design from a catalog. It's about creating artwork that feels personal, timeless, and uniquely yours—because every tattoo should tell a story worth carrying for a lifetime.

  • Every tattoo begins with a story. This experience is designed to create artwork that is deeply personal, thoughtfully crafted, and completely unique to you.

    What Your Experience Includes

    ✦ Story & Vision Consultation

    We'll begin by exploring your story, inspiration, milestones, symbolism, and the emotions you want your tattoo to represent.

    ✦ Creative Research & Concept Development

    I thoughtfully research symbolism, references, composition, and artistic elements that best translate your story into a cohesive design.

    ✦ Completely Custom Artwork

    Every design is drawn specifically for you from the ground up—never traced, recycled, or pulled from a catalog.

    ✦ Collaborative Design Process

    We'll refine the concept together to ensure the final design reflects your vision while benefiting from my artistic expertise.

    ✦ Intentional Body Mapping

    Your tattoo is designed to flow naturally with your anatomy and complement any future work you may want, creating a timeless composition rather than simply filling empty space.

    ✦ Private One-on-One Studio Experience

    Enjoy a calm, welcoming environment where you'll receive my full attention throughout your appointment without the distractions of a busy street shop.

    ✦ Professional Tattoo Session(s)

    Your story is brought to life using professional techniques, premium materials, and years of experience dedicated to creating artwork that stands the test of time.

    ✦ Personalized Aftercare Support

    You'll receive detailed healing instructions and continued guidance throughout your healing journey to help your tattoo heal beautifully.

    ✦ Long-Term Project Planning (For sleeves, leg sleeves, back pieces, and larger collections)

    We'll develop a cohesive roadmap for your project so each session builds naturally into the next, creating one complete work of art.

    ✦ A Tattoo That Means Something

    You'll leave with more than beautiful artwork—you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates your story, your journey, and the chapter you're living today.

    More Than a Tattoo Appointment

    When you book a Narrative Tattoo Session, you're investing in thoughtful collaboration, intentional storytelling, custom artwork, and a personalized experience from our first conversation through the final healed result.

    This isn't simply paying for time in a tattoo chair—it's investing in artwork created to tell your story for the rest of your life.

  • Investment

    Every Narrative Tattoo is completely custom and created specifically for the individual wearing it. Because no two stories, designs, or projects are alike, pricing is based on the overall scope, complexity, placement, and estimated time required to create your piece.

    My goal is to provide transparent expectations while allowing each project to receive the attention it deserves.

    Investing in More Than a Tattoo

You're investing in an intentional creative process that includes consultation, artistic research, custom design, collaborative planning, expert execution, and a private one-on-one experience centered around your story.

    The result is artwork created specifically for you—designed to remain meaningful long after the tattoo is healed.
