Consultation/Design Process:
Kevin requires consultations for all tattoo appointments. During consultations, Kevin and his client discuss the design in detail and get clarity on the project they will be working on. From there, if Kevin has any questions about the design after meeting with a client for their consultation, he will reach out with questions for more clarification.
The design process is based a lot on the trust Kevin’s clients have in his style and his ability to listen to their input to create a unique design for them to the best of his ability. Any minor changes to designs can be made the day of the appointment.
