I manage all my inquiries personally, that way I can have a genuine one on one convo with everyone and figure out what exactly will work best for you and your tattoo. It may take a while for me to get back to everyone — I promise I'm not ignoring you. Don't be scared to shoot that double text, I'm trying to get back to everyone.
