Your tattoo artist needs to know:

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TATTOOED

-Example: Roses & peonies with leaves & berries

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE IT
-Example: On my forearm, I eventually want it to be a sleeve

APPROXIMATELY HOW BIG WOULD YOU LIKE IT
-Example: Maybe 9” or 11” long? Open to what you think

WOULD YOU LIKE IT AS JUST LINE-WORK, BLACK & GREY OR WITH COLOR
-Example: In black & grey and shaded like the last flower tattoo you posted

ARE YOU A LOCAL OR DO YOU HAVE A TRAVEL WINDOW
and if so what dates will you be here during your trip?

ARE THERE ANY OTHER TATTOOS BY THE AREA? ARE YOU WANTING A COVER-UP?
-It may or may not be possible to work around other tattoos and generally we do not do cover-ups

Things she doesn’t tattoo:

With the occasional color tattoo, they’re essentially black & grey tattoos with color on top. Like a rose with a black outline & black & grey shading, filled in with multiple reds. She does not do color tattoos without line-work and possibly black shading. 

The advantage of this is black & grey tattoos heal and age extremely well and evenly compared to color tattoos. So as the color tends to fade unevenly & at a faster rate than black, the black & grey structure of the tattoo lasts beautifully. Holding the integrity of the tattoo

All of Mia Aja’s tattoos are done with love, she does not do hateful, gang related,
horror, colorful cartoon or watercolor tattoos
