Tattoo designing process
Jacki offers custom tattoos, she prefers to draw all tattoos as original designs. She does ask for reference to get an idea of what you want to base your idea on. During your consult she will go over the details of placement, and style. She does not send out artwork before appointments, however she budgets in time if the artwork needs to be adjusted.
Jacki specialize in several styles of tattooing.
-
blackwork illustrations
-
botanical designs

pet portraits
-
bold color work
-
anime
these types of designs will be given preference in the booking process.
