Cover-up below, (before and after photo.)
Its more like a face make-over then a cover-up.
Sometimes fixing up an existing tattoo is better and more affordable then a full on cover-up
I am one of two artists in this state trained and certified to do Sound Wave tattoos.
             Its a tattoo that plays back any recording up to 30 seconds.
Simply download the App, then upload your mpg recording. You will then get a PDF image of that recording to bring to me. I tattoo that image on you, then you activate your Soundwave and that's it. The App scan and play back your recording any time.

Ultra clean and safe "private" tattoo studio. For those who do not want to be on display when getting tattooed.  
  Being a perfectionist ( And a bit of a Germaphobe!) I only use the best inks, products, and equipment. I also only use new needles, tubes, and grips for every single client. (One-time use only) Your safety comes first.

  I do Photoshop previews
  (No consultation necessary )
     (We do not do Walk-Ins)

Simply email me a detailed description of what you want, along with a photo of you showing where you want the tattoo. I will do a Photoshop sketch/preview for you to see how your new tattoo will look on your body. Once the details are worked out we schedule an appointment to start your new tattoo.
  This process eliminates some of the issues you might find at a traditional shop. ( Examples: It gives you time to make changes or even change your mind, also doesn’t make you feel rushed or pressured into a design idea, as your less likely to be talked into something you might not want and you will also have proof in writing from design to planning. This is beneficial to both you the client and me the Artist.
