From a favorite character to a tattoo that fits.
The Dragon Ball piece shown here is an actual example by Billy, with saturated pink, purple, blue, and gold. Use it to get a feel for the color and character work—not as a limit on the series or ideas you can bring.
Bring the references that matter.
Tell us the character, version, expression, or moment you want to capture. Send a few clear references, your placement, approximate size, and whether you prefer color or black-and-grey. If you want several characters, identify the main focal point so the composition has a clear direction.
Can we plan an anime sleeve or leg project?
Yes, larger connected ideas can start with a consultation. Share photos of the whole area and any existing tattoos so we can discuss how the project fits together. Size, detail, and available time determine the plan; one visit may not complete a larger piece.
Do I need to know exactly what I want?
No. A favorite character, a few references, and a rough idea of placement are enough to start the conversation. The design and appointment still need to be discussed and confirmed with the studio.
How do I request Billy?
Use the studio inquiry form and select Billy as your preferred artist. Tell us your idea and dates. Submitting the form does not confirm a booking or final price.
