I recently had an 8-hour session for a custom black and grey piece, and the entire experience was fantastic. From the start, the intake process was smooth and I felt like she truly 'got' my vision. The studio is a private, professional, and very comfortable space. When I arrived, she showed me the design—it hit every element I wanted but was honestly so much better than I had imagined. She was incredibly collaborative with the sizing and placement, even taking the time to listen to my future tattoo ideas to make sure this piece would flow perfectly with them. Technically, she is amazing. She isn't heavy-handed at all and was clearly just as invested in the outcome as I was; it never felt like I was 'just another client.' She talked me through the whole process, took great photos at the end, and provided a really thorough aftercare package. I’ve already booked my next big project with her—if you’re looking for a talented, professional artist who makes you feel completely at ease, Raven is the person to see.
