Every commission begins with a conversation. Submit your concept, your vision, and your timeline through the inquiry form. Richard reviews every submission personally and responds within 48 hours.

If your project is the right fit, Richard will reach out to schedule a consultation. This is a direct conversation about what you want to create and whether this collaboration is the right match. Not every project is accepted — and that selectivity is what protects the standard of every piece that is.

A non-refundable deposit secures your session and initiates the design process. Richard develops the composition exclusively for you — drawing from your story, your reference, and his visual language. The final design is revealed on the day of your session. That moment of first seeing it on your skin is part of the experience.

Arrive rested, fed, and ready. Sessions vary in length depending on the scope of the work. Richard will walk you through everything on the day. Come prepared to trust the process — that trust is what makes the work possible.

What you leave with is permanent, singular, and entirely yours. Aftercare instructions are provided. A complimentary touch-up is available once the piece is fully healed. What happens after that is between you and the work you now carry.
