The process

What happens after you inquire.

  1. Send your idea

    Choose your preferred city and share the subject, placement, approximate size, color direction, desired timeframe, and clear photos.

  2. Artistic review

    Tony evaluates the concept, anatomy, existing tattoos, cover-up constraints, and estimated project scope.

  3. Estimate & availability

    Andressa follows up with recommended sessions, available dates, pricing, and deposit instructions.

  4. Tattoo plan

    The composition is developed for your anatomy. Larger work is organized across focused, full-day sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Before you begin.

Does submitting an inquiry reserve a date?

No. Tony first reviews artistic fit and scope. A date is confirmed only after availability is agreed and the required deposit is received.

Does Tony work from pre-drawn flash?

Tony’s work is custom. Reference images help communicate subject and mood, but the final composition is developed for your body and project.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on size, placement, detail, skin, and whether the project is color, black and gray, or a cover-up. You will receive an estimated session range after review.

Can Tony cover an existing tattoo?

Possibly. Cover-ups depend on the size, age, pigment, placement, available skin, and whether laser fading has been done. Clear photos are required for evaluation.

Where does Tony work?

Primary availability is in Dallas–Fort Worth. Select New York City guest dates are announced periodically. Exact studio information is provided to confirmed clients.

Who handles communication?

Tony reviews the artistic direction and fit. Andressa manages communication, availability, estimates, and booking details.
