CUSTOM
DESIGNED
COLLABORATION
My name Carl and I am a custom tattoo artist based out of Naperville, Illinois with fourteen years of experience the industry. I specializes in a wide range of styles including illustrative realism, portraits, new school, and black and grey. I really focus on a collaborative approach to designing tattoos directly with the client, to make sure that each tattoo is unique and personalized to you. If you're looking for a unique custom tattoo, and a collaborative approach to help give you everything you're looking for in your design, I'd love the opportunity to work with you! Thanks for checking out my work, and I hope to see you soon!
BOOKING APRIL-JUNE NOW!
HOW TO BOOK
STEP 1.
SEND ME YOUR IDEA.
Fill out the contact form at the link here and let me know what you're looking to get and anything else I'd need to know to create your tattoo. This is gonna make the consultation process easier for both of us. For some tattoo concepts, I may contact you via phone call to gather more details and help better understand the idea or concept you are trying to convey.
STEP 2.
SCHEDULE A DESIGN SESSION.
After you've sent me your idea and I've had a chance to make sure I'm a good fit for it, we will schedule a Design Session. In this session we will take a good photo of the area that you want to get tattooed, gather reference photos, and start designing your tattoo. We will use the photo of the area to make sure everything fits well, and that you like how it looks on you. After we're both satisfied with the design, we will print a rough mock up to get the proper scale for the stencil, discuss a budget and a session plan, and pick a date to start the tattoo.
STEP 3.
START PROJECT.
The fun part! Now we're good to go with a design and a plan of attack, and we're ready to start your new tattoo! Be sure to eat a good breakfast and be plenty hydrated on the day of your appointment. And don't hesitate to bring snacks for those longer sessions.
