About
Instagram: @dmitri.tattoos
With being in the tattoo business for only 3 months as an apprentice, I have progressed gradually and done about 25 tattoos. My favorite part of tattooing is seeing the customer satisfied with their tattoo and learning something new about tattooing, myself, is always a bonus. I have always loved art and expanded my knowledge on the subject through art classes and experimentation. Now, I draw on people! It's a really fun and educating experience. I love what I do at Age of Ink and strive to become a skilled tattoo artist.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With a new tattoo client,I inform them of my availability and tattoo pricing for the tattoo selected. Once the session is scheduled, they go through the usual routine of signing documents on the day of the tattoo, and before we start I always make sure to ask their pain tolerance and let them know they can take breaks as needed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Throughout high school I have taken art classes, to name a few: advanced placement 2D studio art and design as well as AP 2D studio art drawing. Aside from that I am self taught and experiment with art as much as I can as I have been for 10 years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
As a tattoo apprentice, I have a set of tattoos as assignments to practice specific tattoo styles and any tattoo in that set is free. Any personally chosen tattoo outside of that set is 25% of what it would initially cost.
How did you get started in this business?
I'm currently in a tattoo apprenticeship.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with people of all types of skin tones and older folk.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I am fond of a recent black work tattoo I did and my addition to the tattoo that brought it to life. I added dotwork around the tattoo which unified the whole piece and made it look much cleaner as a tattoo.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
I would ask them how much they know about machines, mixing colors, and creating pigments. Also, how they set up and break down their station if you want to check how clean and safe they present their station to clients.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
How much the tattoo would be and why, how long the session is, which areas hurt more versus other areas, and ask about aftercare once the tattoo is finished even though they will more than likely tell you. Also, ask for their socials/contact information in case of any questions during the healing process.
