Straight off the machine. Then it heals.
Same Areli script, same red spider lilies, months apart. Hayden keeps a whole Healed side in her gallery, because healed is the version you live with. Throw the first card to see it.
Healed
Day onePeople come back.
“best experience i probably could ever get, love the conversations and the energy definitely going to come back and either get a piercing or another tattoo or maybe even both”
“Good and professional art, understanding, attentive and chill vibes in the studio.”
“It was good and I got to see my old friend pierce my ears again :))”
From the client notes on fatrat.ink, in their own words.

Tap-out session
10:30am, till you can't take it ;)Full days run roughly 10am to 10pm with breaks. Made for big pieces and serious sleeve progress.
The fine print, in plain words.
All deposits are non-refundable and go toward your final price. Reschedule with at least 72 hours notice and your deposit carries over to your new appointment. With less than 72 hours notice, you lose it entirely.
Currently accepting cover-ups, but the design needs to be approved first.
If a piece can't be finished in one sitting and needs an extra appointment that wasn't planned for, a new deposit is required and the price estimate goes up.
Get a good night's sleep, eat a real meal beforehand, and drink plenty of water. Skip alcohol for 24 hours before. Wear something comfortable that keeps the tattoo area easy to reach.
Ask first. Some numbing creams change the skin and can affect how the tattoo goes in and heals. Message Hayden before your appointment and she'll tell you what works.
Ribs, sternum, spine, hands and fingers, feet and ankles, neck, and the inside of elbows and knees tend to be the spiciest.
Outer arm, forearm, shoulder, calf, and outer thigh are usually the easiest places to sit for.
It depends on size, detail, and placement. Check the offerings for starting points, then send a booking request. You'll get a real quote before you pay anything.
Roughly 10am to 10pm with breaks. It's for big pieces or serious progress on a sleeve. The details get worked out in chat when you book.
