🜋How long before I can go on holiday?


It is recommended that you limit sun exposure for at least 4-weeks after being tattooed, you should also avoid submerging your tattoo in water (swimming/spa’s/sauna) for at least 2-weeks. Apply SPF–50 and cover your tattoo in the sun.


🜋What should I bring?


A valid form of ID with you on the day. Feel free to bring a change of clothes—It’s best for you to feel as comfortable as you can. I advise bringing water/sugary drinks/snacks with you, as your blood sugar levels will drop and these will make you feel better. I never mind if you wear headphones—zoning out can be a great distraction from any pain during your appointment.


🜋How do I look after my tattoo?


You should treat your tattoo like an open wound. It is crucial to read and follow Aftercare Instructions to ensure a smooth healing process. On average it takes around 3—4 weeks for your tattoo to heal, and a full month for it to look settled. Touch ups can be required for several different reasons. I am happy to touch up my tattoos because I want them to look the best they can for as long as they can. If booked within a reasonable time frame of your initial appointment this is offered free of charge— Otherwise the cover of a minimum setup may be required. 


🜋Is there anything to avoid whilst healing?


  • Avoid having long showers/baths while your tattoo is healing. Long durations of soaking will loosen scabs that have formed, This can have a detrimental effect on the healing process.
  • Don’t apply anything to your tattoo without first making sure that your hands are clean & that you have washed the tattoo well before putting any more cream on.

🜋How do I pay?


Cash is preferred for the remaining after the deposit, Although I can accept PayPal/Bank Transfer on the day↓
