FAQ
Are fine-line or micro-realism tattoos a good fit for me?
Fine line and micro-realism are highly detailed, delicate tattoo styles that aren't the right fit for everyone. Because they rely on very fine needles and subtle ink placement, they require more care, proper healing, and occasional touch-ups than bolder styles. They are also a higher-maintenance investment, both in craftsmanship and long-term upkeep. If you appreciate subtle detail and are committed to caring for your tattoo, this style could be a great fit. Click here to learn more.

Where are you currently tattooing?
I am currently tattooing in Manhattan, NYC, just a few blocks away from The High Line. The area offers a variety of dining options and activities to explore.
How do I care for my new tattoo?
Every artist has their own preferred aftercare routine. You can find my personal aftercare instructions here to help your tattoo heal as beautifully as possible.
What should I avoid during the healing process?
Avoid swimming, exercise, sun exposure, saunas, tight clothing on the area, and over-moisturizing. Overexposure to moisture or friction can lead to blurring or ink loss, especially in delicate tattoo styles.
