Came in with a rough idea on my phone and walked out with a full forearm piece I couldn't have drawn in my head. The linework is dead clean.
Reply from the shop
Cheers Dan — that one was a joy to draw. Send us a healed photo when it settles.

First tattoo and I was terrified. They talked me through every step, checked in constantly and it was over before I knew it.
Reply from the shop
Thanks Priya, you sat like a veteran.

Fine line work that has actually stayed fine after healing. That's rarer than it should be.
