Our Process
How We Build It
Photo Consultation
We review references together and flag anything that needs restoring or enhancing.
Proportion Stencil
A custom stencil is built on a proportion grid so the likeness holds up at tattoo scale.
Line & Block-In
Core structure and greyscale values are laid down first.
Fine Detail Session
Eyes, hairline and highlights are refined in a focused, unhurried pass.
Likeness Review
We check the healed result against the reference before calling it finished.
Healing Guide
Portrait Aftercare Timeline
Every style heals a little differently. Here's exactly what to expect with your portrait tattoo, stage by stage.
Day 1–3
Fresh & Fragile
- Wash gently twice a day with fragrance-free soap
- Pat dry and apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment
- Avoid touching the face/detail zones of the tattoo unnecessarily
Day 4–14
The Peel
- Avoid rubbing near fine-detail areas like eyes and hair strands — they're the most fragile part
- No direct sun on the healing tattoo
- Keep moisturising lightly, but don't over-saturate — it can blur fine lines
Week 2–4
The Itch
- Do not pick, especially around fine linework — this is where likeness is lost
- Continue gentle, fragrance-free moisturising
- Avoid pools, saunas and prolonged sun exposure
Month 2–3
Settle & Shine
- Book a touch-up if any softening appears around the eyes or lips
- Start daily SPF over the piece — detail areas fade first without it
General guidance only — always follow the printed aftercare sheet given after your session, and contact us if anything looks infected rather than simply healing.
