Gage turner

I am a tattoo artist out of Los Angeles, California. Apprenticed under the great Jamie Lee Parker, as seen on Ink master. I am heavily influenced by his speciality in color realism and fantastical subjects. Fascinated with many genres of tattooing I aspire to combine elements of realism, both black and grey as well as color, with my love for neotraditional and more illustrative styles. Unlike a lot of artists you won't find a book of flash or premade designs at my station, instead I prefer to have one on one conversations to try and come up with a custom design that will fully resonate with my clientele. You can find me at Tribute Tattoo in West Hills working under Jamie Lee Parker as well as alongside many other amazing artists. Let's create something unique.

FAQ

Should I eat before a tattoo?
Yes! It will make your tattoo go a lot smoother if you are well fed.
How long do I keep my wrap on after the tattoo?
3 days is the preferred time to keep the dermashield on afterwards.
Can I go to the beach or swim?
I highly recommend against going to the beach because you want to avoid direct sunlight on your fresh tattoo. Also a whole bunch of things can happen and you can get an infection. 100% do not go swimming or use a hot tub for at least 2 weeks after getting a tattoo. A tattoo is basically an open wound and needs time to heal before submerging it in any body of water.
How much is the deposit?
Deposit is $200 and is non refundable and counts towards the final session of the tattoo. So if you have a small tattoo it will count towards that day and if you have a multiple session one it will count towards the last session.
Why is there liquid in my wrap?
That is just some plasma mixed with ink, it is perfectly fine and will help the healing process. However, if you look like a full on capri sun the day afterwards or it opened up and is leaking, contact me and i will either help rebandage you or tell you where to go from there.
What's your rate?
200/hr
Can I go to the gym right after?
NO! The gym harbors bacteria and is a terrible place to go after a tattoo. My recommendation is to wait 2 weeks minimum before returning to the gym.
Do you use numbing creams?
I have some numbing creams that I approve of. If you want to use numbing creams, contact me and I will recommend some for you to purchase and how to apply them. It's always smart to do a small test area a week prior in order to see if you have an allergic reaction as that can cause complications with the tattoo.
What's your minimum?
My minimum is $200 and yes that even counts for a little dot.
