Consultations are where you meet the artist and discuss your tattoo idea. This includes references of the idea/design, the area you are wanting the tattoo and the approximate size.

After a consultation (unless you are a walk in for a small tattoo), we will discuss when best suits both the artist and the client to do your tattoo.

Yes, after the consultation is finished and a time and date is agreed upon, a non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your tattoo booking. This deposit amount will go towards the cost of tattoo.

I accept cash, PayPal and bank transfers. I can also accept credit and debit cards. No EFTPOS sorry.

Short-notice tattoos depends on the availability on the day. It is a good idea to message ahead of time as I am usually not in the shop when I am not with a client.

Larger pieces that take half, full or multiple days have fixed pricing.

Smaller projects are priced based on the size/detail and placement.

No, I only offer tattoos at this time.

No, all clients must be 18 years or older to receive a tattoo. You may be asked for a valid photo ID if you look under the age of 20.

Yes, however this is a case by case basis and you will need to book a consultation to talk with the artist more about your options.

This all depends on the tattoo studio. Most shops will have a flat minimum charge that usually applies, however it all depends on the size, placement and detail. All shops are different, and it can differ in different countries as well. Ask your artist directly how much the shop minimum is.

The least painful place to get tattoos generally are the legs and arms with some exceptions.

The more painful places (depending on your tattoo style) are the ribs, collarbone, sternum, elbow and knee ditch (the backs of them), armpits, feet and fingers. The thicker the line, the more painful the tattoo can feel.

However some people have this crazy super power to tolerate pain a lot more than others!

Usually not, unless there is a group booking, or a person is getting three or more tattoos in one day. This is a case by case basis and depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo.

Short answer is no.

Please check our my Aftercare page for more details - the first week needs to be you focusing on resting while your body focuses on healing your tattoo. Otherwise your tattoo may not heal properly.

Yes! Most tattoos I do will receive second skin provided you are not allergic to medical adhesives.

Sometimes you will need to wait for a short while until your tattoo settles before we cover it with second skin so it doesn’t peal off on the same day.

If the client needs to leave early, the tattoo is in an awkward place or the client does not want it, you will get a sterile plastic wrap instead.

No, please do not take painkillers if possible as some can thin the blood, meaning I have to work harder, which may mean I have to hurt you more to achieve the best results.

Not all tattoos bleed while being tattooed, however it is more likely to see bleeding happen the thicker the lines or more saturated your ink is packed (blackout or colour).

This is completely normal. The second skin will hold blood, plasma and ink. Only keep the second skin on for up to three days (or however many days your tattoo artist has recommended). If it bubbles too much or starts to leak, remove the second skin and rinse under clean or filtered running water with freshly cleaned hands.
