Prior Tattoo Work
- Assessment: All prior tattoo work is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. An in-person consultation is required to determine if corrections or enhancements are possible.
- Recommendations: If your previous tattoo is excessively dark, discolored, or misshapen, we recommend tattoo removal before booking. We highly recommend Renewal Tattoo Removal in Briar Creek for assistance.
