Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I MAKE A BOOKING?

To make a booking, please fill out my 'booking enquiry form', you can find this under 'book now' on my website, or alternatively the link is on my instagram in my bio.

WHAT IS THE WAIT TIME FOR A BOOKING?

I usually like to book 1-2 months in advance. If you are wanting to secure a booking, I would recommend getting in touch sooner, rather than later. I usually can't accomodate short notice bookings, unless I have had a cancellation. Any cancellations spots get announced on my instagram story.

WHAT DAYS DO YOU TAKE BOOKINGS?

Tuesday-Saturday

HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST?

The cost of your tattoo will depend on size, amount of detail, and time needed to complete it. My minimum cost is $150, so prices start from here. I price by design, so if you are wanting a quote for your tattoo idea, please fill out my booking form.

DO YOU DO COVER UPS?

No, this is because my work heals very fine, light and delicately. Quite often, to cover up an existing tattoo well, the cover up will need to be bigger and darker which can be hard to achieve with a fineline tattoo.

DO YOU TAKE WALK-INS?

No, I only take bookings by appointment only.

DO YOU TATTOO ALL PLACEMENTS?

No, I don't tattoo the following placements: fingers, hands, feet (below the ankle), behind the ear, neck, genitals.

WILL MY TATTOO NEED TOUCHING UP?

Whether your tattoo needs touching up can depend on a few different things, such as placement, how long you've had your tattoo, how well you have looked after your tattoo etc. All of my tattoos are fineline, tattooed with a single needle. This means that you can expect for your healed tattoo to look light and delicate. Just because your tattoo has healed lightly, this doesn't mean that it needs touching up, as this is the outcome that I intend for when doing a tattoo. Your tattoo might need touching up if there are parts of your tattoo that appear faded or if there appears to be any patchiness. If you would like your tattoo touched up, please send me a booking enquiry and upload a fully healed picture of your tattoo. I like to wait a minimum of 6 weeks before touching up any tattoo, to allow the skin a chance to heal properly.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TATTOOING?

I have been tattooing for 3 years.

DO YOU TATTOO IN COLOUR?

No, I only work with black ink.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

-Have a good nights sleep beforehand

-Make sure to eat something substantial before your booking

- Stay hydrated

-Avoid any alcohol/drugs 48 hours before your appointment

-Keep your skin moisturised in the days leading up to your tattoo appointment

-Shave the area carefully (if applicable)

-Keep the area out of the sun, if your skin appears to have any sun damage I won't be able to do the tattoo in that area

- Ensure that the area is free from fake tan

CAN I BRING A SUPPORT PERSON WITH ME?

Yes, you can bring one support person with you. I ask you only bring one as my studio space is small, and bringing more than one person can be distracting for both you and me.

CAN YOU DRAW UP A DESIGN AND I SEE IF I LIKE IT BEFORE MAKING A BOOKING?

No, I only start drawing up custom designs once a booking is confirmed with a $50 deposit.

DO I GET TO SEE MY DESIGN BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT?

Yes! I will send you your design 1-2 prior to your booking. From here, you will be given the opportunity to make any adjustments to your design. I will complete these before your appointment time so that the design has been finalised before your booking.

CAN I MAKE CHANGES TO THE DESIGN ON THE DAY?

Small changes can be made on the day, however, I do prefer that the design is finalised prior to your booking which is why I send your design to you ahead of time so you have a chance to sit with the design and think about if you'd like any adjustments

CAN I BRING MY KIDS?

No sorry, I ask that my studio remains 18+

DO YOU TATTOO UNDER 18 WITH PARENTAL PERMISSION?

No, I only tattoo 18+

CAN I USE NUMBING CREAM?

Please do not apply numbing cream to the area without consulting me first. I generally recommend that you don't use numbing cream for a few reasons. Some people can have bad reactions to numbing cream, causing redness, itching, swelling. Numbing cream can also affect the texture of your skin, making it harder for the ink to penetrate the skin, which will affect the healed outcome of your tattoo.

HOW LONG WILL MY TATTOO TAKE TO HEAL?

The healing time for a tattoo can vary based on several factors, including the size and location of the tattoo, your skin type, and how well you care for it during the healing process. Generally your tattoo will appear to be healed from 2-4 weeks, however, while the outer layer of your skin may appear healed it can take 3-6 months to fully heal.
