What to expect?
Once you submit your booking form a $200 deposit is required to secure your session, which will be deducted from the final cost. Design work is included in the day rate, so there’s no additional charge. A full-day session runs from 9:45am-6pm. Upon arrival, we’ll take some time to perfect your stencil before beginning the tattoo, and take a brief lunch break around 2pm.

Leading up to the tattoo moisturise the area. Keep it out of the sun prior to your appointment to ensure your skins not burnt and well hydrated.
Have an early night beforehand to ensure a good sleep, and the morning of your appointment have a big breakfast. Bring a good lunch, plenty of water and sugary snacks. Trust me - you need them to make sure you don’t go home feeling faint and unwell!

Remove wrap when you get home, wash your hands and then wash the tattoo with warm soapy water (use pump soap not a soap bar). Wash until the skin starts to feel grippy and the slimy feeling has gone. Pat your tattoo dry with a clean towel, and let air out until you go to bed. Wrap the tattoo in cling film overnight.
Repeat cleaning process twice daily morning and night. You only need to apply cling wrap for the first 2 nights - not during the day.
From the second morning onward, apply Bepanthen Antiseptic to the tattoo. Rub a small amount between your hands to make them sticky then pat your tattoo. This amount should leave the surface feeling sticky without soaking it in ointment.
Use Bepanthen for 6 days, twice a day, then use moisturiser.
No swimming or soaking in water and keep out of the sun. Don’t pick or scratch your tattoo and keep it clean.

Not normally no, the studio space is cosy and there isn’t a lot of room for extra people!

Please contact me for full or half day rates. Every tattoo is different, during the booking process I will give you an estimate on how long it will take and the cost involved.
-
Designs will be seen on the day unless agreed prior. On the morning of your tattoo I will take you through the design in detail and explain how it will look and sit on your body. This is when we will make small changes if needed. I like to give you the best understanding of why we do things a certain way to ensure you get the best tattoo possible. We work as a team, so please trust the process, you’ve chosen me because you love my work!
