THE TATTOO LAB
BUILD THE BRIEF.
You do not need to know tattoo terminology. Give Alhaji the idea, where it goes and roughly how big it should be. He handles the composition.

FOUR MOVES.
No maze. No giant portfolio to dig through. The Tattoo Bay experience stays focused on your piece.
Alhaji reviews
Scope, body flow, feasibility and the right direction are worked out with you.
Design on the body
For many pieces, Alhaji builds the composition directly on the body in red marker.
Make the tattoo
Once scope, price and appointment are confirmed, the real work begins.
QUICK ANSWERS
KEEP IT SIMPLE.
The only goal is getting enough information to know whether the piece, timing and budget make sense.
Cover-up?
Send a clear photo and approximate size. Freedom to redesign usually creates a stronger result.
Need an AI concept?
Use Visualize It First only if it helps communicate the idea. The final tattoo is still artist-reviewed and composed for your body.
Travel?
Hartford is home base. For another city, send the project first so timing and travel can be evaluated.
