About the artist
Hand-drawn ink, by HookahCast.
Tattooing for over 8 years out of a private studio. Trained in traditional flash, sharpened on blackwork and fine-line, and never short on coffee or stencil paper.
My work lives at the intersection of bold and delicate: heavy black foundations carrying intricate, almost botanical detail. I draw every design from scratch, treat each appointment as a collaboration, and won't put a needle to skin until both of us love what's on the paper.
Studio practices follow all bloodborne pathogen and cross-contamination standards. Single-use needles, disposable tube setups, hospital-grade barrier film on every surface, and an autoclave-sterilized workstation between every client.
Process
From idea to ink.
-
01
Consultation
We talk through your idea, references, placement, and budget — either in person or over a video call. No pressure, no upsell.
-
02
Custom design
I draw the piece from scratch and share previews. Revisions are part of the deal — your skin, your story.

Tattoo day
A clean, quiet studio. Bring snacks, headphones, and someone you trust if you'd like company. I'll handle the rest.

Aftercare
You'll leave with detailed instructions and a follow-up message a week later. Touch-ups within six months are on the house.
