How We work
From Anime Tattoo Ideas to Ink: The Consultation Process
Got a folder full of saved anime tattoo ideas? Love that. Got one chaotic screenshot and a dream? Even better. Either way, we’ll help you turn it into a design that feels original, fits your body properly, and still hits that anime magic.
Because at Victims of Ink, we don’t just tattoo. We collaborate, connect, and create meaningful body art.
o1. The Consult
Bring whatever you’ve got — screenshots, sketches, characters, scenes, random inspo. We’ll talk style, placement, size, and whether you’re thinking of a small piece or a full anime tattoo sleeve.
o2. The Design
Your artist takes your references and builds something custom. Same vibe, better flow. Absolutely not a straight copy of an image you found online.
o3. The Sesh
Settle in, get comfy, pop in earbuds, sip a coffee, do whatever you need to while your tattoo comes to life. We’ll keep it warm, clean, and professional and guide you through aftercare so it heals beautifully.
