Touch-up policy applies only to tattoos completed by Alex Moro.
Free touch-ups are available within the first month after a session. After that period, they are charged at the standard rate of $400/hour. For clients traveling from out of town, touch-ups can be scheduled during a return visit.

For portraits (both people and pets), high-quality, well-lit reference images must be provided. Natural photographs are preferred over tattoos of other artists. You may send inspirational references from sources like Google or Pinterest if they help convey your idea. Suggestions may be provided to improve clarity or execution.
The clearer the vision, the better the result.

Each tattoo is a one-of-a-kind design created in Procreate or Photoshop using reference images or digital art. Design work begins 1–2 days prior to the session and is presented on the day of the appointment. Minor adjustments (1–2 hours) can be made during the session. Major revisions require an additional fee of $400/hour and may necessitate rescheduling.

Cover-up tattoos generally require more time and may involve additional sessions or prior laser removal. The new design must be larger and darker than the existing tattoo. Common themes that work well for cover-ups include cosmic elements or skulls. Submissions may be declined if the concept is unlikely to yield a good result or doesn't align with artistic standards.

Numbing creams are not used, as they can negatively impact the skin, especially in color tattoos. Improper or excessive application may cause skin damage and interfere with healing.

Protect the tattoo area from sun exposure and apply SPF 50 outdoors. Avoid tanning. Moisturize skin a month prior to your appointment.
Do not shave the area; it will be done on the day of the session. Waxing or sugaring 2–3 days before is acceptable. Avoid alcohol 1–2 days prior to reduce bleeding.
Consult a doctor if you have health conditions or are taking medication.
Sleep well, eat a good breakfast, and bring snacks. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be stained, and bring slippers if the tattoo is on a leg.
An aftercare kit will be provided (including healing cream and protective pad). Please have adhesive tape available at home to secure the pad during healing.
