Mystical Beauties on Skin or Ceramics
“When a customer walks through the shop’s doors, I take the time to get to know them so I can suggest something that truly suits them. I make a list of what they want their tattoo to convey. I sketch on their body, explain the designs, why I chose them, and what they mean. And if it doesn’t work, I change it.” PO’OINO YRONDI
