F.A.Q.
HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?
Base rate: $160
Small tattoos: Quoted based on size/detail
Large tattoos: 175/hr
Full day: $1000
Discounted day rates available for selected pre-drawn designs
All bookings require a deposit.
HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN APPOINTMENT?
I recommend booking at least 3 months in advance, especially for weekends.
It can fluctuate up to 6 months so the more notice the better.
I do my best to accomodate travelling clients or those getting my own pre-drawn designs.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED TO CHANGE MY APPOINTMENT?
Deposits are non-refundable so please only book if you're serious about getting tattooed.
If you need to reschedule just let me know 48 hours before your appointment so I've got enough time to try and fill the slot, if you don't give sufficient notice you'll need to pay a new deposit for the next session.
I'M UNDER 18 AND/OR WANT A TATTOO ON MY FACE WILL YOU DO IT?
Due to a higher regret rate in tattoos at a young age I won't tattoo anyone under the age of 18 even with parental consent. I reserve the right to refuse any tattoo request, epsecially anything offensive or gang related and visible tattoos (hand/neck/face) are considered on a case by case basis. Please don't be offended if I ask you to wait or rethink your idea, I wouldn't suggest it for no reason.
WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE THE TATTOO?
It is important to prepare your body for a new tattoo by eating and resting well coming up to the appointment. Have some food before you come and bring a sugary snack or drink to keep your energy levels up. The more rested you are the easier the tattoo will be.
Avoid drinking for 48 hours before and avoid blood thinning pain killers or over the counter numbing creams that can negatively effect the tattoo process.
HOW DO I LOOK AFTER A NEW TATTOO?
You'll need to avoid swimming, exercise and excess sunlight during the healing process. You'll also need to purchase a second skin bandage and /or some aftercare cream to assist in healing. The shop has a range of aftercare alternatives priced from $10-30 depending on the size of the tattoo. Full instructions will be provided on the day.
