The Custom Tattoo Design Process at Mor Ink: From First Idea to Finished Piece

Most shops ask you to send a reference image weeks in advance and hand you a pre-drawn stencil on the day. Mor Ink works differently — here's what actually happens between booking and getting tattooed.

Step 1: Bring Your Moment

Instead of a fully locked-in design sent over email, clients are asked to bring "a moment" — the feeling, memory, or idea behind the piece, along with any reference photos. This gives the artist real material to design around, rather than pricing and drawing blind off a rough idea.

Step 2: The Day-Of Design Session

The custom piece is designed with you, in person, on the day of your appointment. This means the design accounts for your actual body, skin, and placement, not just how a reference photo looks flat on a screen — and you see and approve the stencil before anything is tattooed.

Step 3: The Tattoo Itself

Mor takes one client per day, which allows the session to run as long as the piece actually needs rather than being rushed to fit a schedule. Larger custom pieces may be split across half-day or full-day sessions, discussed and quoted upfront.

Serving Oshawa and Durham Region

Clients travel from across Oshawa and Durham Region — Whitby, Courtice, Ajax, Pickering, and Bowmanville — specifically for this collaborative, custom-first approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring my own finished design? No — Mor designs custom pieces with you on the day, based on a moment, feeling, or reference photos you bring in.

How long does the design process take? The design is created the day of your appointment, as part of the same visit — there's no separate design-only appointment required.

Can Tal or Alexia also do custom designs? Yes — all three artists design custom work; Mor's process centers on same-day collaborative design, while Tal and Alexia can discuss their own consultation approach when you book.
