# Quaylen Dansereau > I'm Quaylen, a tattoo artist based in Edmonton, and I love turning the characters, creatures and worlds that mean the most to you into tattoos you'll be proud to wear. My style blends pop culture favourites like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lord of the Rings and anime with bold ornamental and floral work. I've brought my custom designs to conventions across Alberta, including Bombsaway and the Lethbridge Tattoo Show, and I take pride in every piece, from a small flash design to a full leg sleeve. If you have a favourite character or a vision you can't find anywhere else, let's build it together. - Address: Edmonton, AB, Canada - **Is getting a tattoo painful?** Most people describe tattooing as a sensation that ranges from a mild scratch to a warm, buzzing pressure, and the level of discomfort often depends on the placement and your own comfort level. Many clients find the experience more manageable than they expected. A skilled artist will work with you to keep you comfortable throughout the session. - **How do I choose the right tattoo artist?** Look for an artist whose style matches the design you have in mind, and take time to review their portfolio and past work. Pay attention to how clearly they communicate and whether they listen to your ideas. The right artist should make you feel informed, respected, and at ease. - **What should I do to prepare for my tattoo appointment?** Get a good night's sleep, eat a meal beforehand, and stay hydrated, since this helps you feel your best during the session. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the placement area. Your artist can also offer guidance tailored to your specific design. - **How do I take care of my new tattoo?** Your artist will provide aftercare instructions, and following them closely helps your tattoo heal well and keep its colour and detail. Keeping the area clean, moisturized, and protected from prolonged sun exposure is generally recommended. If you have any questions during healing, don't hesitate to reach out to your artist. - **Can I request a custom design instead of choosing from flash?** Yes, many clients bring their own ideas or work with an artist to develop a fully custom piece. A custom design allows the tattoo to reflect your personal story, interests, and style. Talking openly with your artist about your vision is the best way to create something you'll love for years to come. ## Services - [Custom Tattoo Design](https://quayludes-ink.com/services/custom-tattoo-design.md): I create custom tattoos tailored to your ideas and style. - [Pop Culture Tattoos](https://quayludes-ink.com/services/pop-culture-tattoos.md): I tattoo designs inspired by anime, games, comics, and films. - [Ornamental Tattoos](https://quayludes-ink.com/services/ornamental-floral-tattoos.md): I create ornamental, floral, foliage, and decorative tattoos. - [Flash Tattoos](https://quayludes-ink.com/services/flash-tattoo-designs.md): I offer available flash designs for a ready-to-book tattoo. ## Contact & Social - [instagram](https://instagram.com/quayludes_ink) ## Pages - [Home](https://quayludes-ink.com/index.md) - [Personal Tattoo Concept](https://quayludes-ink.com/services/custom-tattoo-design.md) - [Ready-To-Book Flash Design](https://quayludes-ink.com/services/flash-tattoo-designs.md) - [Custom Botanical Ornament](https://quayludes-ink.com/services/ornamental-floral-tattoos.md) - [Character And Story Tattoos](https://quayludes-ink.com/services/pop-culture-tattoos.md)
