Checking your artist’s portfolio beforehand is key to know what to expect when it comes to style and technical skills. It is also the easiest way to know if this is the right artist for you.

HOW I WORK:

My motivation for getting into tattooing has always been to be able to draw my own artwork/reinterpretation of my customer’s ideas on skin. For which I appreciate creative freedom and trust.

For custom projects: Please note that the design will only be seen by the client on our appointment day. I don’t send previous sketches but I’m happy to make adjustments if necessary during the appointment or reschedule for a different day.

The first step is filling up a tattoo request form in my website (click the button bellow) with a brief description of your idea and the placement (body part) you have in mind. Flash designs and works in progress usually take priority. You will always find available designs on my instagram highlights: @plumheart_x

You will receive an email with information about the next steps to book. My current rate is $180 p/hour and a $150 deposit will be required to secure your spot, that money will go towards your tattoo. You can request a consultation through that form before booking.

Deposits are NOT refundable.

I’m always happy to work with your budget if you have one.

My ultimate goal is giving my costumers the best tattoo they can possibly get. If you like my work and all this sounds good to you, please fill the application clicking the button bellow.

For your appointment, make sure you eat a good meal and drink tons of water before coming to the shop. Please bring your ID with you.

No one under the age of 18 is allowed.

If we have agreed on the placement, please shave the area beforehand if you can. It’s no problem if you can’t though :)

Avoid coming to the shop under the influence of any substances such as drugs or alcohol. Some medications like aspirin or antibiotics, acne medication and pain relievers could also affect the process of healing and tattooing.

Phone calls are NOT allowed during our session. You can keep your phone with you though. Please wear headphones to listening to music or watch videos.

Avoid moving during your tattoo as much as you can. Keep in mind that getting tattooed is painful and we all have different pain tolerance levels, but we can always break your tattoo into sessions and take breaks when necessary.

Please arrive in time for your appointment, after 30 minutes we will have to reschedule and a new deposit will be required.

Things you can bring with you for your appointment:

Comfy clothes and shoes/slippers, water, snacks, headphones, laptop or a tablet, a book, sunglasses, a little blanket and a pillow. Anything that could improve your comfort level. Wearing black clothes are recommended for your appointment day.

After getting tattooed make sure you:

Keep the second skin bandage for up to 2-3 days and take it off in the shower. If we used regular plastic wrap, keep it on only for a couple hours or over night.

Once you uncover your tattoo, wash it gently with warm water and antibacterial liquid soap (unscented). After that, apply a very thin layer of fragrance free body lotion 2-3 times a day for the next few weeks. A small amount is more than enough, so make sure to not over doit.

Covering your tattoo with other bandages or plastic is not necessary after you take off the one we used.

Wear loose clothes for the first 3-4 days after getting tattooed to avoid anything rubbing or irritating your tattoo.

No baths, swimming or saunas for the next 3 weeks. Avoid working out or getting sweaty for at least the first 3 days after getting tattooed to prevent infections or washing out the ink.

Don’t scratch or take off the scabs, your tattoo will peel and look a little dry while it’s healing but that’s completely normal.

Avoid getting sun exposure as much as possible while your tattoo is healing. Applying sun screen is a good way of taking care of your tattoo once it’s fully healed.

Soreness is normal after a couple days, make sure to not sleep on your tattoo. Put an ice pack on top of the bandage if necessary to alleviate the soreness.

Blood (plasma) and ink coming out of your tattoo is also normal, all you have to do is gently wash your tattoo once you take the bandage off.

Allergic reactions are not very common but can occur sometimes. Please reach out to me immediately if you have any questions or concerns.
