Process

All tattoo inquiries start through this website. The booking form helps my assistant and me understand availability, timing, and the kind of project you’re looking for.

I work with seasonal booking windows rather than open-ended timelines. When we decide to move forward, the aim is to complete the project without long gaps in between. This helps us keep momentum and clarity as the piece develops, without stretching things out unnecessarily.

Timing and budget play an important role in that planning. Bodies, proportions, and complexity vary, and we take all of this into account when estimating how long a project might take.

There are different ways we can render plants and botanical elements, and each approach takes a different amount of time. If you’re flexible with what you have in mind, we can adapt the level of detail to the number of sessions available, so the tattoo can be resolved within the agreed timeframe.

All work takes place in my London studio. When you arrive, I’ll walk you through what the day will look like, and we’ll take time to talk through the idea behind the tattoo, why these plants matter to you, and what you’re hoping the tattoo will hold.

From there, we’ll look at any references you’ve brought, alongside selected examples from my work, and assess placement in relation to your body. If you already have tattoos, we take those into consideration as well.

The design is developed in the studio on the day, after we’ve talked through the idea and assessed placement together.

For larger pieces, the first session is often focused on drawing and tracing the design. When time and availability allow, my preferred approach is to work over two consecutive days. This helps us stay focused and maintain continuity, while remaining within what the body can reasonably handle.

Sessions move at a steady pace, with regular breaks throughout the day. We make space to rest, stretch, eat, and reset. Depending on the project and the area we’re working on, tattooing can last from a few hours to a full day, and we adapt the pacing to your own rhythm.

If you have a larger project in mind, I prefer to design the full composition first rather than adding onto pieces later. This helps the tattoo sit comfortably on the body without forcing scale or proportion down the line. I don’t rush sessions and always allow extra time if it’s needed.

After each session, aftercare is explained in detail and adapted to your skin and lifestyle.
