Hi!
I am interested in getting a single-line tattoo on my leg. Something like the cat here: https://img1.rapidleaks.com/2019/05/best-single-line-tattoos-1280×720.jpg
So my question is:
Do you guys specialize in these kind of tattoos?
And how much does it cost to get a tattoo like that?
Size – 3×3 inches
Is it possible to get colors in the tattoo, like in the example?
Happy to hear back from you guys,
Drew
I also have some other questions, so feel free to answer those:
1. What ingredients in the ink you’d use for the colors in the tattoo?
2. Does color ink causes an itchy rash? I have kinda sensitive skin.
3. Can you perform a patch test?
4. Are you a licensed tattoo artist?
5. In case you did some single-line tattoos, can you share some examples?
Thanks!

Hello Drew!
Good questions. The style in the image you sent is right up my alley. Multicolor watercolor is definitely doable 🙂
Something similar to that about 3×3 will probably be about 1.5 hours of tattoo time. At $150/hr you’re looking at around $200, depending on how long it takes.
I do patch tests if you’d like to get that done first. Although it’s just test, I will have to charge you shop minimum, $100, but we can test every color you’re inquiring about.
I use only the Eternal ink brand. They are top of the line and use vegan ingredients. You may look at their website for more details fan’s.
No ink should cause a rash unless you are having an allergic reaction, which is rare but can happen to those that are sensitive.
Yes I do single needle tattoos, however I will say the reference photo you sent looks like one notch bigger than a single liner as single liner is very VERY thin. But if you’d like that we can do it 👍🏼 I’ll attach a few recent single liner tattoos for examples.
Lastly, unfortunately the Phoenix area does not require (or have an option) for tattoo licensing. I disagree with this and hope it changes. In Flagstaff I had a license because that city required it but unfortunately the Phoenix area does not have as tight regulations. I am OSHA certified, though.
I hope this answers all your questions!
