Custom Tattoo Designs

Custom tattoo designs are developed through thoughtful collaboration, beginning with your concept and refined through an illustrative style rooted in symbolism and story.

Whether the idea is deeply personal, visually bold, or simply playful and unexpected, each piece is created intentionally to complement your anatomy and feel distinctive to you. From meaningful symbolism to imaginative concepts, the goal is original work that feels grounded, expressive, and lasting.

Most custom pieces begin at $150, with very small designs occasionally starting around $130 depending on complexity and placement. A confirmed quote will be provided once your request is reviewed and approved.

Flash Tattoos

Flash tattoo designs are pre-drawn original pieces created in the Cinder + Ink illustrative style. These designs are released in curated collections and offered in limited quantities.

Flash allows clients to select artwork they connect with while still receiving the same intentional placement, care, and attention to detail as a custom design.

From symbolic pieces to playful concepts, flash collections reflect the evolving creative direction of the studio.

Artwork is developed thoughtfully and shared for review prior to finalization. Minor refinements may be made to ensure the piece feels aligned and intentional before delivery.

Turnaround times vary depending on scope and complexity.

Touch Ups

Touch-ups for tattoos completed by Cinder + Ink are part of maintaining the integrity of the original artwork. While time is included for existing clients, a $25 tray fee is applied to cover materials and setup.

For tattoos completed by another artist, touch-ups are available at the studio minimum rate. Once established, these pieces will be added to your client file and treated as part of your ongoing work for any future refinements.

All touch-ups are completed with the same attention to placement, pigment retention, and overall finish as the original session.

What to Expect

Touch-ups are typically scheduled once the tattoo has fully healed (4–6 weeks). During your appointment, the area will be assessed and refined as needed to ensure consistency and longevity.

All procedures are completed using a fully disposable setup in a sanitized environment.

Downtime

Healing time is similar to the original session, with the surface typically healing within 2–3 weeks and full healing occurring over 4–6 weeks.
