Mean Old Tim

I make TATTOOS THAT FEEL AS GOOD AS THEY LOOK. CLEAN, INTENTIONAL, AND MADE TO LEAVE AN IMPRESSION.

HOW IT
WORKS

Every piece follows the same path.
A plan, a design, sessions, and healing that lets the work settle into what it's meant to be.

WE MAKE A PLAN

I plan the whole composition before any ink goes in. The main image, the flow, the background, and how it all wraps your body. Sessions and cost are agreed up front.

IT HEALS INTO ITSELF

Follow the aftercare. Give it time. The piece settles into what it's meant to be. That's the point.
