Session day
My sessions always start at 11am for strategic reasons: We begin by developing the project on the iPad. Once the composition is finalised, we move on to applying the stencil. A break is necessary to allow the stencil to dry completely—this is when we take our lunch break. After an hour, we begin the tattooing process. By following these steps, we ensure maximum energy and focus, embarking on a journey of courage and dedication in the name of art. Occasional breaks are taken as needed.
