FAQs

  • Yes, deposits are essential to secure your booking - no booking will be confirmed without one. This will be taken off the total amount of the tattoo. Deposits are non-refundable.

  • If you need to rearrange, please contact me as soon as possible. You may move your appointment and transfer your deposit one time only, provided I have one week's notice. Deposits are non-refundable.

  • Avoid the sun in the lead-up to your appointment, as I cannot tattoo sunburnt skin. Make sure you are well-rested, eat a big breakfast, and drink plenty of water. Wear comfy clothes that do not obstruct the area I will be tattooing or that you don’t mind getting ink on. Fruit is also great to snack on during the day to keep your energy levels up. Booking a day or two off work after your tattoo will also benefit you if you’re in for a long sitting.

  • Designs are done for the day of your appointment, but I allow time on the day if any minor changes are needed.

  • I will do this to avoid any irritation to the skin, but you can give the area a trim if needed.

  • I do not allow the use of numbing cream as it doesn’t last all day and, once it wears off, the pain can feel a lot worse as your body has not had time to get used to the tattooing. Some creams also affect the skin, which can result in a harder heal.

  • You will be emailed my aftercare steps after your tattoo, but please feel free to ask any questions if you have them.

  • I recommend waiting a bare minimum of 4 weeks before going away to allow your tattoo to heal. I’d also suggest wearing high-factor sun protection to prevent any fading.

  • Please let me know what medication you are on, as most of the time people are still able to get tattooed. In rare instances, I may need you to seek clarification from your GP beforehand.
