Rue redrew my peony three times without a sigh. A year on it is still the cleanest thing on my body.

Walked in on Flash Friday at 12:04, walked out with a swallow by two. Fair price, no attitude.

Six sessions on my back with Dario. He planned every one so I always knew what was coming and what it would cost.

Hana talked me out of my first idea and into a much better one. The mandala healed perfectly black.

My first tattoo and I was nervous. They explained every step, and the aftercare tracker actually helped.

Covered a name from 2009. You genuinely cannot see it any more. Dario is a magician.

Bought a gift card for my partner's birthday. She came out with Teo's swallow and hasn't stopped showing people.

Kit's guest spot filled fast and I'm glad I got in. Tiny, crisp linework, worth the wait.
