I am currently living & working in Cairo, Egypt. However, travel often with recurring guest spots in Toronto, Berlin & London. Currently, I am not based in any specific city which means more of a chance of having me come to your city!
-
My guest spots are often based on demand. To request me in your city, you can join my waitlist. Once I get enough demand in your city, I’ll plan a guest spot there. Once I’ve booked my guest spot, I will contact you via email.

Yes, I love doing custom designed tattoos & commissions work. I currently take commission for tattoos, illustrations, comics, & murals. I love working collaboratively & always welcome conceptual projects.
To start the design process, I ask you to attend an online consultation session where we will discuss your idea & flesh out the concept together.

Getting your first tattoo is a very exciting & new process! Besides the great feat of being sure you’ve picked the right artist & tattoo idea for you, there are many other considerations to keep in mind.
Sleep: Get a good night’s rest to reduce sensitivity and stress.
Hydrate: Stay well hydrated the day before your session.
Moisturize: Apply moisturizer to the tattoo area 2–3 times daily, including a few hours before your appointment.
Shave: Please do not shave the area before your session.
Eat: Have a solid meal beforehand (nothing too heavy).
Wear: Comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area.
Time: Please consider taking the entire day off for your tattoo in order to accommodate for additional time if necessary as well as time to recover.
Avoid alcohol, smoking, coffee, and blood thinners (such as painkillers) for 24 hours prior to reduce sensitivity and bleeding.
Avoid sunburns, tanning beds, or heavy sun exposure on the tattoo area for at least 7 days before your session & 3 weeks after your tattoo.
Please arrive sober. Tattooing under the influence is not permitted.
If you’re feeling unwell (fever, flu, infection, or any contagious illness), please let me know so we can reschedule.
Avoid intense workouts involving the tattooed area on the day of your appointment.
You're also welcome to bring one friend for support and company, but please keep in mind that the studio space is limited, so I kindly ask that you limit guests to one.
I prefer to tattoo in silence, it allows for the best, most focused results, so please bring your headphones, book.
