Baltimore · by appointment
Black Finch Tattoo works from references, agrees the result before any needle is loaded, and books one artist to one project for as long as that project takes.
The wall, 5 plates
Every service carries its scope and its price on the services page. Three are shown here; the other three are one link away.
The conversation that decides everything else.
no charge
Artist consultation detailsA single session, drawn for one placement.
from $150
Small custom piece detailsFour hours with one artist and one project.
from $650
Half-day session detailsA consultation comes first and costs nothing. References are read rather than copied: they describe the intended result, and the drawing that follows is made for the body it will sit on. Nothing is scheduled until the design, the placement, the session length and the price are all agreed in writing.
Three plates from the gallery. Each one is labelled with what it shows and what it was made with.
Four roles cover the six services. A preferred artist can be named on the contact form and availability is confirmed separately.
Lead tattoo artist
Leads custom composition and placement consultations, turning references into an original direction suited to the body area and intended scale. The role explains when detail, cover-up needs or healing considerations require a different size or a separate consultation.
Senior tattoo artist
Concentrates on confident line work, controlled shading and pieces that need careful visual balance. Each enquiry is assessed for placement, size and style direction before the studio suggests the right next conversation.
I asked about artist consultation, and the consultation lead explained the choices clearly before moving forward.

the studio artist listened closely, confirmed the price and made half-day session easy to understand.

The published information matched the actual conversation. Nothing felt hidden and there was no pressure to add extras.

Start with the service descriptions and prices. Contact the business when two options appear equally suitable.
Published prices apply to the stated scope. Any “from” or custom price requires a confirmed estimate before work begins.
Bring useful references and explain the intended result, constraints and timing. References guide the conversation but are not copied automatically.
Yes. Use the contact form to name a preferred staff member; availability is confirmed separately.
It costs nothing, commits nobody, and ends with a written note of what was discussed.
An email when new plates go up on the wall or a chair opens. No fixed schedule, and one link in every message removes an address from the list.
It is published in the open, where anyone can copy it, so it is left short of its final polish and audit pass. The design chosen is fully audited and polished before it goes live.
