For feminine tattoos, composition and placement are everything. A rose that looks beautiful in a reference photo might not translate well to the curve of your forearm — the perspective changes, the proportions need adjustment.
When you come in for a consultation:
- We look at your placement, your skin tone, and your references together
- I sketch a composition specific to your body — not a transfer of an image from a screen
- You see the stencil before anything touches your skin
- We adjust until it's right
I don't start tattooing until you're happy with the placement.
Healing Fine Line WorkDelicate tattoos require attentive aftercare. Fine lines are thinner than bold lines — they sit at a specific depth in the skin, and how you care for them in the first two weeks determines how they settle.
Key points:
- Keep the area clean and lightly moisturised
- Avoid sun exposure completely during healing
- Don't pick at peeling skin
- The tattoo will look slightly faded and dull during the peel phase — this is normal
I send all clients written aftercare instructions after their session and I'm available on WhatsApp with questions during healing.
