Forty-five minutes, one artist and a tape measure. What to bring, what we ask, and what you leave with.

Most of our tattoos start with a consultation, and first-timers often are not sure what to expect. It is a 45-minute sit-down with the artist who will tattoo you, on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening, and it costs ₹1,000, which comes off your tattoo if you go ahead.
Bring references: screenshots, sketches, a photo of the thing that means something to you. We do not copy other people’s tattoos, but references show us the mood, the style and the level of detail you like. Wear clothes that let us see the spot you have in mind.
We will ask why you want this tattoo, how much you would like to spend and whether you plan to add more later. Then we measure the area, hold printed shapes against your skin and talk honestly about size. Some ideas need to be larger to stay readable; some placements stretch or fold with movement. You will hear our concerns before you hear a price.
You leave with a written plan: the style, approximate size, placement, the number of sessions and a price range. Within ten days your artist sends a sketch. You can ask for one round of changes. Once you approve it, you pay the ₹2,000 deposit and choose a date. Nothing is fixed until you have seen the drawing and are happy with it.
