Tips on how to prepare for
your tattoo:
Do's
Tell the artist if you are going to be using numbing cream, as this can change the texture of your skin and make it harder to tattoo
Bring some snacks along of you need (although the studio does provide sweets and drinks)
Bring your phone charger along if you have a long session booked
Have a shower that morning if you can
Don't 's
Do not get sunburnt
Do not fake tan within 2 weeks before (or after getting the tattoo
Do not drink any alcohol 48 hours before
Do not take ibuprofen 24 hours before (paracetamol is fine)
Tattoos that are prone to drop out/fading
Tattoos placed on areas like the hands, feet, and face/neck are prone to falling out or fading more quickly due to the unique characteristics of the skin in these regions. These areas experience more constant movement, friction, and exposure to the elements, which can prevent the ink from settling properly during the healing process.
Additionally, certain ink colors, particularly red and other lighter shades, tend to struggle more with longevity. These colors may fade faster or appear less vibrant over time, making it crucial to consider both the placement and color choice when getting a tattoo in these sensitive areas.

Consultations
If you're unsure what you're after, I now provide consultations for us to have a chat for 30min priced at $50
We will have a chat that way I can understand in more depth what you're after.
If you decide to proceed with the tattoo, the consultation price will be part of the deposit for your appointment! Another partial deposit will need to be paid (to make up the full deposit amount) when you book in for the tattoo (the extra payment amount will depend on the size of your booking)
You'll need to have some reference photos, a placement and some kind of idea what you're after!
Please don't come into your appointment clueless!
