FAQ

  • The booking process of Khroma Tattoo consists of 4 stages.

    1. Submitting a New Client Form through the “Book” tab above

    2. Discussing details, pricing, and expectations with your artist

    3. Paying your deposit and choosing a day for your appointment

    4. Showing up for your appointment and leaving with a rad new tattoo :-)

  • Tattoos are priced by-piece based on size, placement, complexity, and time to finish. Most tattoos are divided into one of 3 categories: Small, Medium, or Large/Multi-Session.

    After completing a contact form, I will contact you for more details to accurately quote you for our project.

  • Deposits are Non-refundable.

    DEPOSITS/CANCELLATIONS: Deposits pay for drawing time and to reserve your appointment. Deposits will also be deducted from the total on the last session as they are factored into the total cost.

    (1) No call, no show, or arrive more than 20 minutes late to the appointment

    (2) Cancel or reschedule an appointment without giving at least 48 hours notice

    (3) I reschedule 2+ times for any sessions of the same tattoo

    (4) Cancelling of this specific design/tattoo.

    RESCHEDULING FEES: Rescheduling within the assigned 48 hour requirement will result in a fee. (I understand emergencies happen and will waive these fees on a client-client basis.)

  • Graphic Illustrative

    • This style is my main speciality. Reminiscent of graphic design, this style utilizes sculpted lines or sometimes no lines at all. They can be blackwork with dark and punchy imagery or full color with buttery color gradients and eye-catching surrealistic subjects.

    • Subjects: surreal ideas, animals, weapons, trippy imagery

    Blackwork

    • This is another style I specialize in. It’s characterized by bold black motifs. It works best with edgy subject matter but can also be applied to more dainty ornamental designs

    • Subjects: flowers, daggers/weapons, patterns/ornaments, insects

    Fine Line/Black and Grey

    • This style is relatively straightforward. You want to create an eye-catching design of one or multiple subjects stitched together into a beautiful composition. This style can have fine, delicate energy, or stronger, more realistic motifs

    • Subjects: Animals, everyday objects, architecture, themed projects (Greek gods, botanical/floral)

    Anime

    • This style is based in recreating your favorite characters from your favorite anime or cartoon. It generally involves strong black linework and smooth graphic-style shading (cell-shading).

    • Subjects: anime characters, cartoon characters, symbols

    While I specialize and have preference for these projects, I try and stay adaptable and open-minded. I will never turn you away due to style alone. If you see something in my portfolio that you like, please don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule a consultation. :-)

    To explore some tattoo styles I enjoy doing, please refer to the “About” sections for more details and examples.

  • My aftercare process consists of 3 phases:

    Phase 1: After I apply your waterproof bandage following your session, keep this bandage on for a minimum of 48 hours from tattoo completion.

    Phase 2: After removing the bandage, clean gently with anti-bacterial soap, rubbing off the thin layer of bio-film that accumulates 1-2 times a day for 2-3 days. Make sure to pat it nice and dry and moisturize minimally. (Do not over-moisturize as keeping the tattoo too moist during this phase can encourage bacteria.)

    Phase 3: Once the skin is closed (doesn’t feel raw, starting to peel), you can be more generous with moisturizing the tattoo until it is completely healed (3-5 weeks).
