  • Deposits are non-refundable within 7 days of your booking.

    If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment within 7 days you will need to pay another deposit to rebook.

    Let us know if you require additional support, it's not an issue it just helps us plan, please keep to only one companion though if neccessary.

  • Please arrive on time.

    If you are more than 15 mins late for your appointment you will need to book for another time and pay a new deposit. Obviously life happens and we’re all human so just contact me, if it’s reasonable and we can squeeze you in we will make exceptions.

  • Please let us know if you are using numbing cream and if you are - use a reputable brand.

    Numbing cream can make it much harder to tattoo certain areas - which may mean we need longer to tattoo you. It can also sometimes have an effect on the healed tattoo, please do your research and keep this in mind! If you are unsure please contact us so we can discuss this with you in more detail.

  • Important:

    • Please shower with antibacterial soap before your appointment.
    • Moisturise the area to be tattooed for the week before your tattoo.
    • Eat two hours before your appointment and bring sweets/sugary drinks with you.
    • Please do not drink heavily the evening before your tattoo.
    • Please make sure you are dressed comfortably and so we can easily reach the area to be tattooed. (shorts, crop tops etc)
    • Please refrain from using fake tan one week prior to your appointment.
    • Please do not go sunbathing or on a sunbed two days before your appointment.
    • If you have sunburn we cannot tattoo you.
    • We cannot tattoo you if you are pregnant or breast feeding.
    • Tell us if you are planning a holiday in the two weeks after your tattoo.
    • Please do not organise an event straight after your tattoo, we cannot control how long your appointment will be, sometimes we run over.
    • Hands and feet are a different texture skin to the rest of your body, this area will often require more than one touch-up and never heals as clean as other tattoos, the price will reflect a definite first touch up and any after this will be charged our minimum price.
    • Every tattoo comes with a free touch-up (within 6 month of original work) anything after the 6 months will be charged our minimum price or relevant price.

  • Aftercare kits are available to purchase in the studio.

  • Disclaimer:

    No tattoo can be 100% perfect, but we will always try our best to meet your expectations. All skin is different, and this can be reflected in the healing process, especially on the hands, fingers, wrists, feet and ankles. One touch up in these areas will be free, subsequent touch ups will be full price. By signing our consent forms you acknowledge this and are giving me permission to share your tattoo and possibly your presence in the studio on our social media. Please ask about this if this is an issue.

  • Declaration

    You will be asked to declare that “I hereby declare that I am of legal age, all above questions have been answered to the best of my knowledge and I have read and understood the information given to me."

  • Tattoo Aftercare 3/3

  • Once you are home take the cling film off and wash down your new tattoo with warm water and some unscented soap. Pat dry with a clean towel or kitchen roll, then apply a thin layer of cream and repeat every 3/4 hours. We recommend Aveeno. (Try to avoid bepanthen if possible)


    We would then recommend wrapping your tattoo in cling film for the first night as plasma and ink will get on your bedsheets! 


    Showers are fine but try to avoid baths, hot tubs and swimming pools for 2 weeks, same for the sun.. no sun beds and try to keep it covered in the summer months during the healing process! Light exercise is fine but try to avoid heavy exercise for the first week.

    By day 5 your tattoo will start to crack and peel, don’t worry and don’t pick!

     Remember.. PAT PAT PAT!

     

    If for any reason your tattoo becomes hot to the touch after the first few days (more so than when you first got it done) or secretes any funky looking liquid that isn't plasma or ink. Please do get in touch with us, your GP or NHS 24 on 111 as it may need medical assistance due to allergy or infection.
