Full-Day Sessions for Large-Scale Ornamental Blackwork
I set aside 6 to 7 hours to take a large, solid black ornamental piece from start to finish in one sitting. A lot of my full-day clients fly in for it.

A full day is 6 to 7 hours in the chair. I use that time to take a large ornamental piece from concept to finished in one sitting, instead of splitting it across a few appointments.
Most of the people who book a full day with me aren’t local. They come in from Seattle, Minnesota, and New York to get the whole piece done in one visit.
Illustrative Blackwork, Built for Scale
I specialize in illustrative blackwork: solid black fields, high contrast shading, and ornamental linework that holds up whether it’s covering a forearm or wrapping a full sleeve. I’m partial to flora and fauna, but I’m always looking for new subject matter to work with.
On a full-day piece I go for full saturation in one sitting, so it heals looking close to how it looked the day I finished it instead of needing a touch-up down the line.
If You’re Flying In for This
A lot of my full-day clients are traveling for their appointment, so I keep that in mind when I’m scheduling. The studio is private and appointment only, so there’s no walk-in traffic to work around during a long session. It’s also ADA compliant.
I’m at 1801 NW Upshur St in Slabtown, a short rideshare from PDX.
About Fae
My name is Fae Kennedy. I’ve been tattooing professionally for about four years. I’m a nonbinary and queer artist specializing in illustrative blackwork, mostly large-scale ornamental pieces built around flora and fauna.
Consent-based tattooing has been a huge focus in my career, and it always will be. I want every client to feel like they can ask questions, take breaks, and speak up for their own boundaries. On a session that runs 6 to 7 hours, that matters just as much as the linework does.
Booking a Full-Day Session
Full-day sessions run 6 to 7 hours. I like to book 2 to 3 months out, and a 30% deposit holds your date.
Custom pieces are reserved for repeat clients (see FAQ below). A full-day slot can also be built around flash, so it’s a good option for a first appointment.
