How We work
Your Vision, Our Artistry: The Neo-Traditional Consultation Process
Getting a colour neo-traditional tattoo should feel exciting, like the good kind of butterflies. Our artists keep the whole process relaxed, collaborative and genuinely enjoyable, guiding you through each step with creativity, clarity and a steady hand. You bring the idea, we bring the artistry, and together we shape something bold, personal, and completely yours.
o1. The Consultation
Bring your ideas, reference pics, or that half-formed concept that pops into your head at 2 am. We’ll chat through what you’re chasing, explore colours and motifs, and pair you with the artist who nails your Neo-trad energy.
o2. The Design
This is where the magic kicks in. Your artist sketches, refines and builds in those classic elements: bold lines, rich colours, modern twists. You’re part of the process, tossing around ideas until your neo-traditional tattoo design feels powerful, personal, and so you.
o3. The Session
Time to settle in and watch your piece come to life. Coffee in hand, playlist on, and line by line, your neo-traditional tattoo design takes shape—bold, bright and unmistakably yours. If you love art with attitude, this is the fun part.
FAQs
How much do neo-traditional tattoos cost?
It all comes down to size, detail and which artist you vibe with. Once we chat through your idea at the consult, you’ll get a clear, upfront quote—no surprises, just solid planning for a bold piece of skin art.
How long does a neo-traditional tattoo take?
Smaller neo-trad pieces can wrap up in one session, but the big, bright, detail-heavy ones often need a few sittings. Think of it as giving your future favourite tattoo the time it deserves to come to life.
Are neo-traditional tattoos more painful than others?
Not really. They feel much like any other style that has lots of colours. Don’t stress, we’ll keep you comfy, take breaks when you need to tap out for a bit, and talk you through the spicy bits.
Do you offer touch-ups for neo-traditional tattoos?
Absolutely. If your colourful neo-traditional tattoo softens or your lines need a little love over time, we can chat about touch-up options to keep your neo-trad masterpiece looking fresh and punchy.
