A tattoo artist who comes to you, across Luzon
You pick the room. The needles and tubes come out of sealed packets in front of you, and the travel charge is quoted separately from the tattoo itself.

What comes into your home
A stranger with needles at your front door is a hygiene question before it is an art question, so this is the part that gets answered first. Six steps, in the order they happen.
-
You clear a space and say where
A table, a chair you can sit still in for a few hours, a power socket and decent light. That is the whole list.
-
The kit arrives sealed
Needles, tubes, grips, razor, film and gloves are single-use and come out of their packets in front of you, not before you arrive in the room.
-
The surface gets covered before anything else
Barrier film over the table, the machine, the bottles and the clip cord. Nothing touches your furniture directly.
-
The stencil goes on and you look at it
Placement, size and angle are agreed while it is still washable. Nothing starts until you say the position is right.
-
The tattoo, then the film
Second-skin film goes on before the kit is packed down, and the aftercare is explained while it is being put on rather than shouted from the door.
-
Everything used leaves with the artist
Sharps go into a sharps container, the rest goes into a waste bag, and neither stays in your bin.
What the library covers
Most people who land here are not booking anything. They have a tattoo that is peeling at eleven at night and a question about it. The guides are grouped by that question.
- Aftercare and healing 04 What to do in the first fortnight, what the skin does while you wait, and what goes wrong when it is rushed. Aftercare, start to finish · Healing, stage by stage · The mistakes that cost you the tattoo
- Styles 09 How each style is made, what it costs you in longevity, and which one suits the idea you already have. Which style suits the idea · Fine line, and how it ages · Is fine line right for you
- Choosing and planning 06 Working out what you want and where it goes, before anyone opens a needle. Designing a first tattoo · Where it goes, and what that costs · Choosing what to get
- Before and during the session 05 The consultation, the hygiene you are entitled to check, and how the day actually runs. The consultation · The hygiene you can check · Etiquette, both ways
- Changing old ink 02 What can be covered, what needs lightening first, and what an honest answer sounds like. What a cover up can do · Covering something you regret
Where this travels, and what it costs to get there
Anywhere in Luzon. The travel charge sits on top of the tattoo price and depends on how far it is, so it is quoted per enquiry rather than published as a number. No price for the tattoo is published here either, because nothing about this job is priced before someone describes it.
An enquiry that names the design idea, the placement, a rough size in centimetres and your town can be answered properly. One that says "how much for a tattoo" cannot.
