Healed tattoos
The real proof comes after healing.
A healed photograph shows a piece after its color and lines have settled into the skin. It adds useful context to images taken immediately after a session.

FAQ
Before you book
Does a healed tattoo look exactly like a fresh photo?
No. Color and contrast settle, and appearance varies with skin, healing and lighting.
How long does healing take?
The process varies by person and project. Follow the instructions provided and contact a health professional if you have concerns.
Why show healed work?
It provides a fuller view of the tattoo beyond the period immediately after the session.
