I operate a private studio in the Fort Apache District of the South Bronx, New York City. Usually during my wee hours into the early morning.

My upstate study is my relaxed environment, my oasis of sorts.

What exactly is
"Burning The Midnight Oil™”?
In such a busy/noisy city such as New York, most would agree it can become over bearing at times.
I find myself completely over stimulated by my surroundings.
Therefore I feel at my most creative state within the wee hours of the night,

__✍🏽❓
Do you charge by the hour or by the piece?
I charge by the piece.
However there’s tons of variables that can be applied to your total cost;
Here’s a few examples to these factors that often come up.
Do the artwork currently exist? Or do I have to design it? In most but not all cases I find myself designing something my collectors have in mind, I help facilitate in bringing their vision to life. It’s a collaboration thing. When you have a chance checkout what my current collectors have to say about their experience. Furthermore here’s where things get tricky with price though. I find it more efficient when a budget is negotiated upfront by the collector. Unless you are part of the %1 EVERYONE has a budget. Period. This method saves tons of time not to mention effort, for example during the process of designing YOUR vision; why have your artist render a image with extreme detail when your budget fits more of a subtle approach with less time yet effective and fluid art? As an artist I find myself excited about every tattoo, especially when I’m in flow state designing our collab. It’s kinda sucky going back to the drawing board. Just be advised and fare warning tho this artist here enjoys doing the best quality tattoo no matter the budget, in others words no budget is too small no budget is obviously too large. It’s about pumping great art work for the world to see and for us to express
Is this a cover up?
I’m I adding more “Bells & Whistles” to a previous existing tattoo? This is also a very common thing At times it can be inheriting other artist headaches. However but more often than not it’s recommended though to touch up the previous tattoo to a certain degree-for full sleeve feel plus ink matching look.
