Color that stays vivid

Long-lasting color comes down to three things: pigment quality, placement depth, and aftercare. Sam uses professional inks, packs each color at the right saturation for your skin tone, and walks you through the sunscreen + lotion routine that keeps your tattoo looking like it did on day one.

How a color session runs

After a free consultation and custom design, most medium color pieces are completed in one 2–4 hour session. Larger pieces (half sleeves, back pieces, multi-element compositions) are scheduled across 2–4 sessions with healing time between.
