How long does a realism tattoo take?

Realism is detail-heavy and usually takes longer per square inch than other styles; larger pieces are often split across sessions. The artist quotes session count with the price.

How do I book a realism tattoo?

Send a custom tattoo request with your idea, placement, size and reference images. The artist reviews it and replies with a quote and available dates before anything is booked.
