🎶 Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Life’s not about more,
It’s the people by your side,
That you’re truly grateful for.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Pause the noise and pace,
Moments matter more than things,
Time can’t be replaced.
Presence over presents,
That’s the cheer we say,
Grateful hearts, open arms,
Carry us through every day.
🤍 From Judge MyInk —
Merry the Everything. Happy the Always.
Be safe. Be grateful. Be present.💝

How Much a Sleeve? - Let Me Break It down like this ⤵️
This Summer : 3hours/Half Day = $100 Deposit + $500 on the Day.
This Summer: 6hours/Full Day = $200 Deposit + $800 on the Day.
Pick Your Poison:
For black and grey realism, expect around **3 to 5 half-day sessions**. Depending on the final design, size, your pain tolerance, how well you sit, and the level of detail you want.
A full Moko sleeve is a completely different journey — they are intentional, structured, and embody deep significance. You’re looking at about **1 to 1.5 full days** for that - Guesstimate.
Now, geometric tattoos? They require a different approach. Patience and snacks are essential, as this style can take weeks. With tiny dots, precise lines, and symmetry from wrist to shoulder, it’s like entering a full-time relationship.
Florals? They’re pretty straightforward — beautiful and clean. Depending on the scale, you might complete a full sleeve in **2 to 3 half-day sessions**. Again, this hinges on the final size and the individual attached to the arm.
(Disclaimer: These guesstimate are based on nearly a decade of experience alongside Judge. Prices and timelines can vary significantly between Design & Concept as well as Artists & studios. Always consult your artist for specific details before starting).
Every sleeve tells a different story.
We honour yours by taking our time.

3 Tattoo Design Tips to Help You with Your Planning Journey 🎨
1. If you don’t know what you want, start with why you want it. The “why” usually reveals the design faster than any Pinterest board.
2. Your first idea isn’t always your best idea — give it time to marinate. If you start becoming obsessed with it, you’re on the right track.
3. Trust your gut. If it’s a “maybe,” it’s a no. If it’s a “yup,” book the consult.
