About Imani

My name is Imani Dilworth and I’m from Richmond, VA. I work from a private, upscale studio designed for clients who value artistry, comfort, and a personalized experience. Every tattoo I create is intentional — thoughtfully designed to reflect your story, your body, and your vision. This isn’t a rushed appointment or a walk-in experience. From consultation to aftercare, each session is curated to feel calm, focused, and collaborative. I take the time to listen, connect, and design artwork that feels authentic to you — not just visually striking, but meaningful. My approach blends fine art, with technical precision, ensuring tattoos that age beautifully and remain timeless. Whether you’re commemorating a moment, honoring someone, or simply choosing art that speaks to you, your experience is treated with the same care as the tattoo itself.

FAQ

How do I book?
Fill out booking form, from there we’ll schedule a consultation where we can solidify your design and set a date and time. Deposits are required to secure your tattoo appointment.
How much do you charge?
My hourly rate is $200. I have a two hour minimum for most sessions.
How long do big tattoos take?
If planning to get a sleeve (leg or arm), I recommend booking a full day session to get majority of it done or mapped out, or breaking your tattoos down into smaller sessions.
What should I expect when coming in for my appointment?
When coming in for your appointment, you will fill out a waiver, go over the final design and make any last minute changes. Then we will place the stencil, and get started.
What should I bring to my tattoo appointment?
Water, snacks, lunch if sitting for a long session, headphones, books, movies/series or something to entertain you for the duration of the tattoo session.
