Tattoo consultation · Malta

What to send before your tattoo consultation.

You do not need a finished design before getting in touch. A clear starting point and a few practical details are enough to begin shaping the piece together.

Custom geometric chess tattoo by Sephora Vella in Malta

Start with the meaning

Explain what the tattoo should carry for you. It can begin with a person, memory, symbol, visual atmosphere or simply an idea you have not yet been able to draw.

If certain elements are essential, identify them. It is equally useful to say what you do not want included.

Include the practical details

Placement and scale affect what a design can hold. A quick, well-lit photograph of the area can help Sephora consider flow and proportion before the appointment.

  • Preferred body placement
  • Approximate size in centimetres
  • Whether the area has existing tattoos or scars
  • Reference images and what you like about each one
  • Any timing considerations you would like to discuss

References are a direction, not a template

References help communicate subject, mood, line quality or contrast. Sephora uses them to understand the direction and then develops an original composition for the person who will wear it.

Send the information through WhatsApp and Sephora will respond with the appropriate next step for the project.
