Portraits of loved ones

A memorial portrait depends on the photo. Bring the clearest, sharpest picture you have, ideally with good light on the face. Andrew will tell you honestly whether it will hold up as a tattoo and how big it needs to be to keep the likeness.

Pets

Dogs, cats, paw prints and names. Pet portraits are some of the most meaningful pieces in the portfolio.

Names, dates and symbols

Not every memorial is a portrait. Script, dates, flowers, angels, rosaries and favorite things can carry the same meaning in a smaller piece. These can also be combined into a larger design over time.

A private space

Memorial tattoos can be emotional to get. The studio is private and appointment only, so you can take your time.
