After you have researched my work and are happy to commit to me being your artist the start of the process begins with a consultation,

within the consultation you will have the time to fire all questions you need answered and I will provide the answers.

Once we have both agreed to work with each other then we arrange dates for your sessions and if required; design will start a couple days before your tattoo appointment to show you either a day before the booking or on the day of.

YES, it does :D

I don’t use numbing cream, if you require this please chat to me first before coming to your booking with numb skin.

No alcohol before your appointment please! We will need to cancel/reschedule if you arrive intoxicated.

Isotretinion in brands like accutane, dermatane, oratane, rocta10, roaccutane etc will affect the tattoo and healing process.

If you are on acne medication, blood thinners, antibiotics, or have chronic skin conditions and are immunocompromised this may prevent you from getting tattooed, chat to your doctor, dermatologist first before getting tattooed just to be safe!

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding we will need to cancel the appointment or reschedule until you are no longer breastfeeding.

There is a very low risk of any tattoo ink passing to the baby through the breast milk. Since Tattoo ink mainly has large particles, but! there might be some very small particles in the ink and it is not known how they can affect the breast milk.

Since there aren’t enough studies about it, it is safer to avoid tattoos until your body is ready to receive them without the chance of harming your child.

Making sure you are at 100% physical and mental health.

Prepping the skin is appreciated and before your session, avoid getting sunburnt or injury to the area to be tattooed.

Gentle exfoliation every second day and moisturise daily 1-2 weeks before your booking will help with the ease of getting tattooed.

Note: If you arrive sunburnt on the day we will need to cancel and your deposit will be forfeited.

Sure! Though the cleaning and wiping before, during and after the tattoo process will remove your fake tan in the area being tattooed.

Healing time is at least 2 weeks after each session and during that time you MUST avoid direct sunlight, fake tan, swimming, soaking in a bath, sports, or anything that may cause infection to an open wound.

People who have eczema and are considering getting a tattoo should be aware of several important factors:

1. Consultation with a dermatologist: It is highly recommended that clients with eczema consult with a dermatologist before getting a tattoo. The dermatologist can assess the severity and location of the eczema and provide specific advice and recommendations.

2. Healing complications: Eczema can cause the skin to be more sensitive, dry, and prone to flare-ups. Tattooing over eczema may cause additional irritation and potentially worsen the condition. The healing process could be delayed, and the tattoo may not heal properly or may become infected.

3. Risk of allergic reactions: People with eczema often have sensitive skin that is prone to allergic reactions. Tattoo pigments, ink, or even the tattoo process itself can trigger an allergic response. Allergic reactions can cause itching, redness, swelling, and other discomfort. This risk is higher for individuals with eczema.

4. Location considerations: The location of the eczema should be taken into account. Tattooing over active eczema patches is generally not recommended. Additionally, areas prone to frequent flare-ups or excessive sweating, such as the inner elbows or behind the knees, may not be suitable for tattoos.

5. Moisturizing and aftercare: It is crucial to keep the tattooed area moisturized and follow proper aftercare instructions provided by the tattoo artist. However, eczema requires specific skincare routines, and certain moisturizers or ointments may not be suitable for both eczema and tattoo healing. Clients should discuss this with their dermatologist and tattoo artist to find the best approach.

6. Potential impact on eczema management: Tattooing can potentially complicate the management of eczema. The tattooing process may aggravate existing eczema symptoms or trigger new flare-ups. Clients should consider the impact it may have on their overall eczema treatment and maintenance.
