The Artist

Every tattoo tells a story. Yours deserves to become art.

For over a decade, Raven has transformed ideas into timeless works of art. Every design begins with a conversation and ends with something uniquely yours.

Work is taken in limited numbers each month — a deliberate choice that keeps every piece considered, personal and unhurried.

Five steps to a finished piece.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We talk through the idea, the meaning and the placement. No rush, no templates.

  2. 02

    A hand-drawn concept built around your anatomy and your story.

  3. 03

    Design Approval

    One round of refinement together until the drawing feels inevitable.

  4. 04

    Tattoo Session

    A private, unhurried session in the studio with breaks whenever you need.

  5. 05

    Healing Guide

    A personalised aftercare plan and a check-in four weeks later.

Client Stories

In their words.

I came in with a half-formed idea and left with something I could never have imagined. It reads like a piece of art, not a tattoo.

Amara L.

Fine line spine piece · ★★★★★

The consultation alone was worth it. Raven listens in a way that makes the final design feel like it was always yours.

Julien M.

Six hours felt like two. Calm studio, perfect linework, and the healing was flawless.

Healing Guide

Care, in detail.

  • Sleep well, eat beforehand, hydrate, and skip alcohol for 24 hours. Wear loose clothing that gives access to the placement.

  • Most clients describe it as a warm scratch. Bony areas are sharper; we break whenever you need one.

  • Surface healing takes 10–14 days. Full settling of the ink takes around three months.

  • Daily SPF50 on the piece once healed is the single biggest factor in how it ages.

  • Wash twice daily with fragrance-free soap, pat dry, apply a thin layer of the balm provided.

  • Everything you need is included in your aftercare kit — balm, breathable film and gentle cleanser.

  • No swimming, saunas, gym sweat or direct sun for two weeks. No picking, ever.

FAQ

Good questions.

  • There is discomfort, but it is manageable. Placement matters more than size — we discuss this at consultation.

  • Small pieces start at $140; day sessions from $700. Every quote is confirmed after your consultation.

  • Yes. Deposits secure your date, cover design time, and are deducted from the final price.

  • One complimentary touch-up within six months of the session, provided aftercare was followed.

  • Clients must be 18 or older with valid photo ID. No exceptions.

  • Reschedule free of charge with 72 hours' notice. Inside that window the deposit is forfeited.

  • 10–14 days on the surface, around three months to fully settle.
