Fine-Line Aftercare: The First 30 Days
The exact 30-day protocol I hand every client at my Montreal studio: what to do hour by hour, the five habits that quietly erase fine-line work, and when a light spot needs a touch-up versus patience. Free, because your healed result is my portfolio.

The Fine-Line Playbook
The technique manual behind 4,000+ healed pieces: needle logic, the voltage-speed-depth triangle, my three-point stretch system and a 30-day drill protocol. Written for working artists and serious apprentices who want lines that still read crisply at the two-year mark, not just in the fresh photo.
Instant download
Red Thread: Flash Collection Vol. IV
40 test-tattooed fine-line designs across four plates - botanicals, figures, still life and my signature red thread series - each with placement notes, minimum sizes and stencil prep guidance. Licensed for unlimited tattooing by one artist, forever.

A live 90-minute session where I critique healed fine-line pieces submitted by attendees - real work at six months and beyond, what held, what faded and exactly why. Bring your own healed photos for a chance at a live review; everyone who registers gets the replay for 30 days.

White walls, one red line
I trained in traditional bold work before falling in love with the opposite problem: how thin can a line be and still survive a decade on skin? That question became my whole practice. My studio in Mile End, Montreal looks more like a gallery than a shop - white walls, one red stripe, no clutter - because I want every design to be looked at the way you would study a drawing before committing to wear it. Everything I sell here comes from the same obsession: flash drawn to heal cleanly, courses built on healed photos rather than fresh ones, and a few custom slots each season so every piece gets the hours it deserves. Fresh tattoos are easy to make look good. My standard is the two-year mark.
Healed results, real words
“I rebuilt my whole lining technique on Ivy's three-point stretch rule. Blowouts on inner arms went from my biggest fear to a non-issue, and my rework rate dropped to almost zero in two months.”
Marisol Vega · Tattoo artist, Austin TX
“My fine-line script from Ivy is four years old and still crisp. Work I got elsewhere the same year is already a grey shadow. The difference is her whole pitch, and it is real.”
Claire Dubois · Client since 2022
“One 45-minute portfolio review and she found the exact three habits keeping me at hobby prices. I raised my rates 40% and booked out the next two months.”
Tom Okafor · Apprentice, Manchester UK
Before you book or buy
How do custom commission slots work?+
You reserve a slot with a deposit and fill in the idea form. I send a concept sketch within 10 business days, we do up to two rounds of revisions, then we book your session at my Montreal studio. The deposit comes off the final price and covers my drawing time, so it is non-refundable once sketching starts.
Do you repeat flash designs?+
Numbered flash from my collections is tattooed as-is and can repeat - that is what keeps it affordable. Custom work is drawn once, for you, and never repeated. If you want a flash piece made exclusive, I offer a buy-out option at the session.
Are your courses suitable for complete beginners?+
Fine-Line Fundamentals assumes you already tattoo, on practice skin at minimum, and are licensed or apprenticing where required. If you have never held a machine, start with the free aftercare guide and the Fine-Line Playbook to understand the standard you are aiming for first.
What is your refund policy on digital products?+
PDFs and flash are instant downloads, so those sales are final. The course carries a 14-day guarantee: finish the first three lessons, show me your drill sheets, and if it is not working for you I refund in full. Fewer than 2% of students ask.
