Are you a good candidate for cosmetic tattooing?

In order to determine if you are a good candidate for cosmetic tattoo procedures you should review the listed contradictions below first.  Unfortunately not everyone is a good candidate.

​

There are plenty of artists that will take your money and perform services against cosmetic tattoo guidelines.  Inked by Riley IS NOT THAT SHOP.  If I make the determination that you aren't a good cosmetic tattoo candidate I highly recommend speaking with your physician before paying for services elsewhere.

Be sure to review my shop policies prior to scheduling.
