First tattoo guide
Come prepared.
Leave with clarity.
A calm first appointment starts with a useful inquiry and a few simple preparations.
What styles does Ci tattoo?
Ci works across fine line, traditional, Japanese, realism, and illustrative tattooing. Send the idea even if you are not sure which style fits—he can help shape the direction.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Ci’s current rate is CAD $180 per hour. The time needed depends on the size, placement, detail, colour, and whether the piece requires more than one session. Your inquiry is the starting point for an estimate.
Does Ci take walk-ins?
Yes. Walk-ins are welcome when Ci is available. Sending an inquiry first is the easiest way to check timing before travelling to the studio.
What should I include in my inquiry?
Describe the subject, preferred style, placement, approximate size, and whether you want colour or black and grey. Add one reference link if it helps explain the direction; Ci will not copy another artist’s tattoo.
How should I prepare?
Arrive rested, hydrated, and having eaten. Wear clean, comfortable clothing that makes the placement easy to reach. Bring valid photo ID and any appointment details Ci has asked for.
Can I change the idea or placement?
Small adjustments are part of the collaboration. Send major changes as early as possible because a new direction can affect drawing time, session length, or scheduling.
Where does Ci work?
Ci works at Ink House Tattoo, 100–20061 Fraser Highway in Langley, BC.
Does an inquiry confirm an appointment?
No. The inquiry gives Ci the details needed to review the idea and reply with next steps. Your appointment is confirmed only after Ci or the studio explicitly confirms it.
