The Process: Creating Your Custom Tattoo Design
At Sanatorium Tattoo, we believe every great tattoo starts with a well-thought-out design. Here’s how we make sure your tattoo turns out exactly as you envision it:

Step 1: Initial Consultation
We start with a conversation about your ideas, inspirations, and expectations. Whether you have a clear concept or just a vague idea, our artists will help you develop a design that suits your personality and style.

Step 2: Design Development
Based on your consultation, our artist will create a unique design tailored to your specifications. We encourage feedback and adjustments to ensure you’re completely satisfied before we start tattooing.

Step 3: Choosing Placement & Size
Some tattoos work better in specific areas of the body. We provide expert advice on the best placement and sizing to ensure your tattoo looks its best.

Step 4: Booking Your Tattoo Appointment
Once your design is finalized, we’ll schedule your tattoo session. Larger pieces may require multiple sessions, and we’ll plan accordingly to give you the best experience possible.

Step 5: The Tattooing Process
On the day of your appointment, we ensure you’re comfortable and prepared. Our artists work with precision and care to create a flawless tattoo that will last a lifetime.

Step 6: Aftercare & Healing
Proper tattoo aftercare is essential for maintaining the quality of your ink. We provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new tattoo to ensure optimal healing and long-term vibrancy.
