FAQ's

Remember to provide a description of the design, reference photos, size, placement and preferred dates. This enables us to process your request quicker.

You must be 18 years of age. A valid drivers license must be present on the day. No exceptions.

The final price will be dependent on detail of the design, location on the body, size and artist chosen.

We encourage people to do their research. Have as much material as you can find to let your artist what you are imagining.

We DO NOT copy other people’s tattoos. If you find something on Pinterest you love, wecan redesign it to make it unique for you or give you ideas on ways to create a new design just right for you.

We recommend that you have a bite to eat beforehand and stay hydrated. It’s ideal not to consume alcohol prior to or the night before your appointment as alcohol can increase bleeding.

Having the tattoo area ‘hair-free’ before the appointment would be appreciated.

Yes! You can purchase gift vouchers in studio.

The minimum spend on a voucher is $150, they are non refundable, valid for 1 year and can be redeemed with any artist at the studio.

It takes up to two weeks for the tattoo to ‘heal’. However it takes months for the skin to completely recover.

Every studio has their own recommended care methods. Ours are:

  1. Remove covering bandage when you get home from your appointment
  2. Wash the tattoo with warm soapy water
  3. Apply a layer of Bepanthen or Tattoo care cream
  4. Do not cover – let the tattoo heal in the natural air (unless you are going to be outdoors)
  5. Continue to wash and moisturise your tattoo 2-3 times or as required daily for approx two weeks
  6. If your tattoo becomes itchy or scabby – do not itch! This is a normal part of the healing process
  7. Avoid the sun, chlorine, salt water and soaking the tattoo for at least two weeks

We recommend you wait 3-4 days before exercising. You should avoid the sea/beach for around two weeks. If you want to swim in chlorinated water, its best to wait three weeks. We tell all our clients: those that take the after care particularly seriously in the initial phase will benefit from their tattoo for a lifetime.

In theory yes, tattoos can be applied to scars. However similar to when we tattoo cover-ups they require an experienced artist. It should be noted that the scars must have healed completely and no reddening can be seen. Please email us photos of your scars and we can go from there.
