What to Expect

When someone in Asylum Hill asks about traditional work, we start with the subject and the size of the piece. Traditional tattoos need space to breathe, so we help clients choose placement that lets the art stay clear. A person might come in after time near Bushnell Park or the cultural spots around Hartford and want a bold piece with a timeless look. We sketch with strong shapes first, then refine the details so the design feels finished and balanced.
