Longhand Tattoo · Guelph
From idea to healed, step by step.
Getting a custom tattoo is easier than it looks. Here is exactly what happens, from the first conversation to the day it has healed.
How it works
01
Consult
20 minutes
Tell us your idea, where it goes, and how big. Bring photos you like. We talk about style, placement, and price, and book your session.
02
Drawing
Sent before your session
We draw your design and send it to you. Small changes are part of the process, so say what you would change.
03
Stencil
On the day
We print the design as a stencil and place it on your skin. You check it in the mirror and we move it until it sits right.
04
Session
Depends on size
Lines first, then shading. We take breaks whenever you need them and wrap it when we are done.
05
Healed
2 to 3 weeks
Follow the aftercare we send you. Come back for a free touch-up within 3 months if any spot needs it.

First-timer questions
Does it hurt?
Some. Most people describe it as a scratch or a sting. We take breaks whenever you need them.
What should I do before my session?
Sleep well, eat a full meal, and wear clothes that let us reach the spot easily.
How long does healing take?
The surface usually heals in 2 to 3 weeks. We send you aftercare in writing.
The studio
Longhand is a one-artist studio on Wyndham Street. Most of our clients are getting their first or second tattoo, so we take the time to explain each step and answer every question.
