Offerings

Vic’s tattoo practice focuses on informed consent, mutual respect, and collaboration. They strive to provide a welcoming and joyful space to collaborate on your tattoo. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach.

All tattoo appointments include time for any design changes, stencil placement, breaks and aftercare discussion, along with the actual tattoo process. Multiple sizes options will be available to chose from and the stencil can be moved as many times as you’d like.

Once you’re happy with the stencil placement, the tattooing process begins. Tattoos do hurt but pain can be mitigated when you’re properly hydrated and fed. You are welcome to as any breaks as you like. Once the session is complete, Vic will go over proper
aftercare.

Tattoo appointments often last about 1-2 hours. For larger pieces, you may need a longer session or multiple sessions.
