Price depends on size, detail and session time. On his Porter flash book, pieces start around $300 for a three-hour design and go up to about $800 for full-day, eight-hour pieces. Custom work is quoted after Tiller reviews your idea.

Larger pieces with more color, shading and detail take more hours in the chair and more drawing time beforehand. The estimated session length on each flash design gives you a good idea of the time involved.

Tipping is customary in the tattoo industry, much like a salon. Many clients tip around 15 to 20 percent when they are happy with the work, but it is always your choice.

You need to be at least 18 and bring a valid government-issued photo ID to your appointment.

Get a good night’s sleep, eat a solid meal beforehand, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol the day before. Wear comfortable clothes that make the area easy to reach, and bring snacks and something to keep you busy for longer sessions.

Some discomfort is normal. Bony and thin-skinned spots like ribs, feet and the inner arm tend to be more sensitive, while fleshier areas like the outer arm and thigh are usually easier. Being rested and fed helps a lot.

Pieces in Tiller’s flash book are listed at roughly three to eight hours each. Your booking on Porter shows the estimated time for each design.

Keep it clean, wash gently with unscented soap and lukewarm water, pat dry, and apply a thin layer of fragrance-free aftercare lotion. Do not pick or scratch, and keep it out of the sun. Always follow the specific instructions you receive at your appointment. See the full aftercare guide on this site.

The surface usually heals in about two to four weeks. The deeper layers of skin keep settling for a couple of months, so keep protecting it from sun and irritation during that time.

Avoid pools, hot tubs, lakes and the ocean until the tattoo has fully healed on the surface, usually at least two weeks. Soaking a fresh tattoo can cause infection and pull ink.

Sun is the biggest enemy of color. Once healed, use a high SPF sunscreen on your tattoo every time it is exposed, and keep your skin moisturized. That keeps pinks, blues and yellows popping for years.
