Tattoo Process
Contact
Text or email
Text is the preferred and quickest means of communication. Email is also reliable but may take longer for a response. Lyrin responds in order of inquiries oldest to newest.
It is advised to be patient. To ensure fairness. Every new inquiry is at the “bottom of the list”. This is the result of the system used, since every text/email does not create a new thread, every new message added, will force the thread even an existing thread to the bottom of the list of inquiries.
