Frequently Asked Questions

The best way to book is by filling out the booking form on this website. Please provide as much detail as possible about your tattoo idea, including style, size, placement, and any reference images. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Tattoo pricing varies depending on the size, complexity, and time required for the design. I provide a quote after receiving your booking request. A deposit is required to secure your booking, which goes toward the final cost of the tattoo.
Make sure to get a good night's sleep before your appointment. Eat a healthy meal and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medication for at least 24 hours beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.
Pain is subjective and varies from person to person and depending on the tattoo placement. Some areas are more sensitive than others. I always do my best to ensure you're as comfortable as possible throughout the process. We can take breaks as needed.
Proper aftercare is crucial for healing. I will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions after your session. Generally, this involves keeping the tattoo clean, applying a thin layer of recommended cream, and protecting it from the sun and excessive moisture while it heals.
