I love the roll of fate tattoos, how does it work?

The roll of fate, is an experince, a fate of will and chance. A way to access a tattoo meant just for you. I use cards, think of them as playing cards, or oracle cards, that I created with prompts. Some are animals, some adornments, some actions, within 3 categories. You will choose 3 cards, 1 from each category. I will then draw a design based on our conversation and the 3 prompts. I’ve done quite a few of these now, and folks are really loving them. You can read some reviews here. Fill out my tattoo request form here to book an appointment.

Do you design tattoos ahead of time?

Most designs are created freehand directly on the body before tattooing. This ensures the artwork fits and flows naturally with your unique form. While ideas and references will be discussed beforehand, the final design comes is drawn on, at our first appointment. I often do sketches and work through layout ideas ahead of time.

What does “freehand” mean?

Freehand tattooing means I draw your design directly onto the skin rather than applying a stencil.

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Stay hydrated, and eat a meal before your session. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed.

Can I send you reference images?

Yes. Reference images can help communicate ideas. These are used for inspiration and discussion, not exact duplication. As an artist I want to give you a unique rad tattoo, I will never copy another artists work.

How long will my tattoo take?

Time varies depending on the size, placement, and complexity of the design. Smaller tattoos may take 2-3 hours, while larger projects can require multiple sessions.

What is the aftercare process?

You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions at the end of your session. You’ll need to keep the area clean, and protected until fully healed.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes. A deposit of $100 is required to secure your appointment and will be applied toward the total cost of the tattoo. Deposits are non-refundable but transferable with adequate notice. Please send deposits through Zelle or Venmo.

Can you tattoo over scars or old tattoos?

In many cases, yes. This depends on the condition and placement of the existing tattoo or scar tissue. A consultation is recommended to assess the area and discuss options.

What if I need to reschedule?

I kindly ask for 48 hours notice if you need to cancel. I understand life happens, and that’s not always possible. Please email info@adamguyhays.com if you need to reschedule your appointment. No shows/no communication will result in a loss of your deposit.
