Every session is £80 an hour, nothing is quoted by the piece, and the subscription adds a free hour. Here is exactly how the numbers work.

The unknown is usually worse than the thing itself. What the first ten minutes feel like, how it changes over a session, and what the next day is like.

Fifteen free minutes, well spent. A rough idea, a few references, a placement, a size and a budget, and why none of it has to be final.

Placement decides how a tattoo ages, how it reads when you move, and whether you still like it a decade on. Eight common placements and how they actually behave.

Ink spreads a little every year. Line weight is what decides whether a tattoo still reads in ten years, and it is the reason Emily draws the way she does.
