The questions that come up most often, answered in English. If yours is not here, just ask.
Yes — in writing. Please message rather than call; writing is the clearest way for both of us. I read every enquiry myself. Chinese, Japanese and Korean are fine in writing too.
Yes, and the earlier the better — I take one client a day, so the dates go quickly. Tell me the dates you are in Seoul and I will confirm what fits before you travel.
Send the design you want, the placement and a rough size through the enquiry form. I will tell you whether it is possible and roughly how long it takes, and then we fix a date.
By the size of the design, where it sits and how long it takes. The same drawing costs more on the ribs or the hand, because those places are slower to work. I give you a range at the consultation and a firm figure once the design is settled.
Places close to bone — ribs, ankles, hands — hurt most; the outer forearm and the thigh are easier. Long sessions are broken up with breaks. How much it hurts varies a great deal from person to person.
They do if the placement and the line weight are chosen badly. For places where blurring is common — fingers, the inner wrist — I say so at the consultation and either thicken the line or suggest another spot.
Once the booking is confirmed I draw the design and send it to you. We keep refining it together up to the day of your appointment.
A mini tattoo is around an hour; a piece covering one side of the arm is split across sittings. I give you an estimate at the consultation.
