## About

I am Eric Elliott, a tattoo artist focused on creating considered, original work rather than repeating the same designs. I take time to understand the person behind each idea, then bring together strong composition, clear detail, and a style that feels natural to the wearer.
That approach is especially valuable when you want a tattoo that cannot be chosen from a flash sheet. I shape each concept around your vision, refine the details with care, and give you a clear direction for the finished piece. You can expect a collaborative process, honest guidance, and a design made specifically for you.

Start Your Custom Tattoo Idea

Share your vision with me and begin shaping a tattoo design that feels personal, considered, and entirely your own.

A thoughtful starting point for turning your story into a tattoo concept.
A More Personal Way to Shape Your Tattoo Idea
I begin by listening to what you want the tattoo to express, including your references, preferred imagery, placement, and overall feeling. From there, I develop a concept with a clear visual direction and details that connect back to your original idea.
The process gives your design room to become something more considered than a direct copy of an image. You receive a concept shaped around your body, your taste, and the way you want the finished tattoo to feel, with space for useful conversation and refinement.

## FAQ

### How do I choose the right idea for my tattoo?

Start with the meaning, imagery, or feeling you want the tattoo to express. A professional tattoo artist can help refine those ideas into a composition that suits your body and reflects your personal vision.

### What should I consider when choosing tattoo placement?

Placement can affect the composition, visibility, movement, and long-term appearance of a tattoo. A professional can discuss how the design may work with the contours of your body and help you make an informed choice.

### Can a tattoo artist create a custom design?

Many tattoo artists collaborate with clients to develop original designs rather than simply reproducing a generic image. Sharing clear references, preferences, and meaningful details gives the artist a strong foundation for creating something personal.

### What happens during a tattoo consultation?

A consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concept, placement, scale, and visual direction. It also helps establish a shared understanding between you and the artist before the tattoo work begins.

### How should I care for a new tattoo?

Aftercare supports the skin as it recovers and helps protect the quality of the finished tattoo. Follow the professional's guidance, keep the area clean, and avoid picking or irritating the healing skin. Apply very thin layer of healing ointments when skin is feeling dry for first week, anti-bacterial soap when washing
