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.

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.
