Appointment Preparation
Please arrive well rested, hydrated, and having eaten beforehand. This will help you sit better during the tattoo.
Avoid alcohol or drugs for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.
If you are feeling sick or unwell, please contact me as soon as possible to reschedule.
Design Process
All tattoos are custom designed specifically for each client.
For larger one-of-one pieces, the design process is done together during the appointment. This allows us to collaborate and build the design directly on your body so it flows naturally with the placement and creates a truly custom piece.
Smaller designs may be prepared in advance, with minor adjustments made at the appointment if needed.
My goal is to ensure every tattoo is unique, intentional, and tailored to the client.
Tattoo Aftercare
1. Wash Gently
Clean your tattoo 2–3 times a day with lukewarm water and antibacterial soap. Use your hands only—avoid washcloths or loofahs.
2. Dry & Moisturize
Pat the area dry with a clean paper towel, then apply a very thin layer of Aquaphor. Too much can suffocate the skin, so a light coat is enough.
3. Transition
Once your tattoo is done peeling, switch from Aquaphor to a fragrance-free lotion such as Lubriderm to keep the skin hydrated.
4. Healing Time
Complete healing typically takes about 4–5 weeks depending on your skin and tattoo size.
5.Avoid
- Direct sunlight or tanning during the healing process
- Swimming, hot tubs, and soaking in pools, baths, or oceans until the tattoo is fully peeled and healed
- Scratching or picking at flakes

I had an incredible experience at Tat2 Collective, and I can’t recommend them enough. My artist, Paydro, was hands down the most welcoming, insightful, and talented artist I’ve ever worked with. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel comfortable and confident about the piece. He was extremely accommodating and even adjusted the schedule so we could finish everything in one session. The conversations were great, the vibe was relaxed, and he really turned my birthday into something unforgettable. His attention to detail and creativity exceeded every expectation I had. The rest of the shop was just as impressive, every artist had a positive attitude, and the energy in the studio was immaculate. The space itself is clean, modern, and visually appealing, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a professional, talented, and genuinely good-hearted artist, Paydro is your guy. Tat2 Collective has definitely earned a loyal customerPosted on Missael ChavezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently got a tattoo here, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, clean, and professional. Ricardo took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. The actual tattoo process was smooth and surprisingly relaxing. Ricardo’s attention to detail and steady hand really showed my tattoo came out even better than I imagined. The line work is crisp, the shading is beautiful, and the overall design is flawless. What stood out the most was how genuine and friendly everyone was. They made the experience feel personal, not rushed, and clearly take pride in their work. I left not only with a tattoo I absolutely love, but with the feeling that I’d just spent time with people who truly care about their craft. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for quality work and an enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next piece!Posted on Blake JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brisia is such an incredibly talented artist! I’ve had three pieces done by her, each one is amazing! The attention to detail is unreal. If you are looking for fine line, realism, animals, pet portraits, Brisia is your artist! 12/10, will definitely be getting tattooed by her again.Posted on Raudel DominguezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
