Where is Adriana located? Is this space Queer-Friendly?
Adriana tattoos in her premier studio, Evening Star Tattoo & Art Collective in Brooklyn NY. She will always ensure anywhere she works is welcoming and safe for everyone.
Does Adriana tattoo melanated skin?
And yes, in COLOR! She tattoos all skin types and complexions. She will always tailor the color palette to fit each individual.
Does Adriana do Tattoo Cover Ups?
Adriana only covers tattoos that have been previously lasered for a minimum of 5 sessions and the area must be healed at least 3 months after the last session before Adriana can tattoo over it. There is no guarantee a tattoo or scar tissue can be covered, or that Adriana's style will be the best option for you, so every coverup will be evaluated individually.
Does Adriana do Scar Cover ups?
Yes, and it's one of her favorite things to do. Scars MUST be healed 1-3 years. In most cases covering up scars will require multiple sessions as the skin can be unpredictable in the way that it holds the ink, so it may need a second pass or a free touch up after the ink settles in the scar tissue. You must be open to an area considerably larger tattoo than the scarred area or for some of the scars to peek out a bit.
Will I see the design before the appointment?
Adriana does not share sketches beforehand. She will have a design ready for you the day of the appointment, or will collaborate with you on the day of your appointment to finalize your design. You will be able to make adjustments if needed to make sure you are happy with the design. The final size will be decided once we print the stencil to ensure it fits the area properly.
Does Adriana use Numbing Cream?
For Adriana's style of tattooing, numbing creams can cause the skin to swell and bleed excessively which generally result in the tattoo to healing terribly, so we strongly advice against them. This does not mean numbing creams can't work for other artists or other styles of tattooing. Adriana does use some Anesthetic products during the tattoo procedure to help with pain management when required. Please do not apply numbing cream before your appointment with Adriana without her consent. This result in your deposit being forfeited.
Is the ink vegan?
ALL Adriana's supplies are VEGAN.
Does Adriana offer touch ups?
Adriana's tattoos include a Free Touch Up as long as it is scheduled no later than 6 months after the last session. Tattoos that have been healed for over 6 months will be subject to Adriana's hourly rate but she will be more than happy to refresh her old work.
