Seven Facts
Seven emphasizes that the quality of work takes precedence over time and cost, with several factors influencing these elements. The condition of your skin, such as age, moisture, and tone, along with your ability to endure the tattoo process, including sitting duration and body pain, are crucial. Financial and scheduling flexibility also play a part in the timeline and completion of tattoo projects.
He specializes in realistic, detailed tattoos resembling photographs, especially in portraits and animal designs. These intricate works require significant time, often a full day or more, due to their complexity.
A notable aspect of Seven’s technique is his gentleness, allowing for a comfortable experience where clients may even fall asleep during the session due to the careful application of ink.
Pricing
Tattoo’s are priced based on their complexity, size, and the time it takes to perfect each piece. In your initial consultation, he will assess your design and provide an estimated cost, ensuring transparency and fairness in his pricing. Reach out to discuss your tattoo concept, and he’ll give you a personalized estimate that reflects both your vision and whether it can fit within your budget.
Please note: The time it takes to complete a tattoo can vary significantly from one person to another. While one person may finish in a single session, another might need 2-3 sessions to complete the same design. This difference is due to various factors such as skin type, pain tolerance, skin health, and the number of breaks needed during the process.

Ink Prep 101: Get Your Skin Tattoo-Ready!
Here’s how to prepare your skin for tattooing like a pro:
Hydration is key:
Begin moisturizing your skin weeks before your appointment using products rich in glycolic acid, aloe vera, and hyaluronic acid to create the perfect canvas. Choose the right lotion and keep the area product-free on the day of your tattoo to ensure proper ink absorption.
Careful shaving:
If the tattoo area needs shaving, do it gently to avoid irritation, or consider having the tattoo artist do it. Regular shaving before the session can improve skin readiness and healing.
Internal hydration:
Drink plenty of water to boost overall health and prepare your skin for tattooing. Aim for at least eight glasses a day to make your skin supple and tattoo-ready.
Sun protection:
Avoid sunburn and excessive tanning pre-tattoo. Use sunscreen with high SPF and wear protective clothing in strong sunlight to keep your skin pale and smooth for optimal tattooing.
Nutrition matters:
Your diet impacts skin health. Limit salty, sugary, and processed foods. Incorporate omega-3 rich fish, vitamin E nuts, and vitamin C fruits and vegetables for better skin quality and enhanced tattoo appearance.
Prepping your skin properly ensures your tattoo looks great and heals well, reflecting your commitment to maintaining its beauty.
