All of Adriana’s tattoos are custom, one of a kind. She works best when given creative freedom and with fewer elements to incorporate (1-3max) to keep the idea clear and readable as a tattoo. Direction is good, but please refrain from going too into detail and specifics. E.g: “I’d like a face with some flowers, maybe a rose but whatever you think best fits the area”.

How far is Adriana Booked?
Adriana is currently booked 3-6 months in advance on average at all times. Please keep this in mind when sending a request. Books open in March 1st for Summer, June 1st for Fall, September 1st for Winter and December1st for Spring.
I sent a request. What’s next?
It may take a while for Adriana to go through all new requests, please be patient.
If your idea is Pre-Selected, you will receive an email with all the appointment information. Please read it carefully. You’ll have up to 48hrs to respond. Once you have replied to that email agreeing to all terms and conditions you will then receive the deposit information. You will be required to put down a $500 NON-REFUNDABLE Deposit to secure a spot on the official waitlist for an appointment date. Please refrain from sending a request if you are not ready to make a deposit at this time.
After you send your deposit, Adriana will reach out via email, text or phone call to discuss appointment dates that work for both parties.
Adriana’s pieces generally require a minimum of 1-2+ sessions as she prefers to work in layers to achieve the best results for fine details and saturation. If your project will requiere multiple sessions, you will be expected to make an appointment at least once a month or every other month at the minimum, until your project is completed. Please make sure you are financially stable before committing. Multiple days in a row will also be available for select projects and individuals.
You may not receive a response. Please don’t be discouraged! This means your project was not selected for this round. Please make sure your idea is in line with Adriana’s current focus, as illustrated in her portfolio, and try again in a few months for next round of bookings or when there’s a last minute cancellation to maximize your chances of getting in. Please know that your request is highly appreciated and carefully considered.
Where is Adriana located? Is this space Queer-Friendly?
Adriana tattoos in her premier studio, Evening Star Tattoo & Art Collective in Brooklyn NY. She will always ensure anywhere she works is welcoming and safe for everyone.
Stay tuned via Adriana’s Mailing list and/or on Instagram for travel updates.
Does Adriana tattoo melanated skin?
Absolutely! And yes, in COLOR! She tattoos all skin types and complexions. She will always tailor the color palette to fit each individual. Here is a video she made about tattooing color on darker skin tones.
Does Adriana do Tattoo Cover Ups?
Adriana only covers tattoos that have been previously lasered for a minimum of 5 sessions and the area must be healed at least 3 months after the last session before Adriana can tattoo over it. There is no guarantee a tattoo or scar tissue can be covered, or that Adriana's style will be the best option for you, so every coverup will be evaluated individually.
The reason for this: Adriana’s style is not ideal for coverups as she works predominantly in color but only black covers black, so in order to achieve a successful coverup in her style, laser treatment will be required for the black ink to be light enough to be covered with color. Please keep this in mind when considering any artist for a tattoo coverup.
Does Adriana do Scar Cover ups?
Yes, and it’s one of her favorite things to do. Scars MUST be healed 1-3 years. In most cases covering up scars will require multiple sessions as the skin can be unpredictable in the way that it holds the ink, so it may need a second pass or a free touch up after the ink settles in the scar tissue. You must be open to an area considerably larger tattoo than the scarred area or for some of the scars to peek out a bit.
Adriana does NOT, however, do color correction on scars.

Does Adriana use Numbing Cream?
For Adriana’s style of tattooing, numbing creams can cause the skin to swell and bleed excessively which generally result in the tattoo to healing terribly, so we strongly advice against them. This does not mean numbing creams can’t work for other artists or other styles of tattooing.
Adriana does use some Anesthetic products during the tattoo procedure to help with pain management when required.
Please do not apply numbing cream before your appointment with Adriana without her consent. This result in your deposit being forfeited.
