CUSTOM TATTOO ARTIST
Hey, I’m Steve Rowes- tattoo artist Bright Lantern Tattoo a luxury private studio located in North Fontana, CA. With over 20+ years of tattoo experience, I specialize in creating bold, custom tattoos that are meaningful and one-of-a-kind for each client. Art has been in my blood since day one, and I’m grateful every time I get to turn someone’s vision into something permanent. From detailed black and grey to vibrant full color, I put everything into my work.—————————————————————————Thanks for considering me for your next tattoo I’d be honored to work with you. 🙌
1. HOW I TATTOO AND BOOK APPTS 🏆
⭐️⭐️⭐️ PLEASE READ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ —————————————————— 💰 HOW I PRICE MY WORK — I price each tattoo per piece or per session, depending on its size, detail, and complexity. My tattoos can range from $400 to $2,500 for a full-day session. “Smaller, simpler designs cost less- Larger, more detailed work takes more time”. —————————————————— ✨With over 20 years of tattoo experience and thousands of tattoos completed, I know how long any tattoo will take me to complete. —————————————————— ✨Every tattoo is fully custom and designed to fit your body and vision. Some tattoos can be completed in one session, while larger more detailed projects such as half sleeves or full upper arm pieces may require multiple sessions. During your online consultation I will review your idea and give you a clear plan, timeline and price before we book. —————————————————— 💰 DEPOSITS — A non refundable deposit of $100 or $200 is required to book your appointment. Your deposit goes toward your tattoo.—————————————————— 🎨 CUSTOM TATTOO DESIGN — Your tattoo is designed just for you- custom artwork that fits your body, style, and vision. On the day of your appointment, we’ll spend about 1–2 hours designing and refining the piece together. This step is key- it’s where we make sure the shape, flow, and details work perfectly for your skin and placement so the tattoo looks amazing for a lifetime. After the design is approved, we’ll begin tattooing. —————————————————— ✨Most tattoo sessions last 4–6 hours, giving us plenty of time to create a clean, detailed, long-lasting tattoo. Larger or highly detailed tattoos may need multiple sessions, and we’ll plan that out during your online consultation so you know the total price, time, and healing process before we begin. ✨If you’re searching for a custom tattoo artist who values detail, comfort, and clear pricing, this is where your piece comes to life.
