How do I book?

Please fill out the following form. Appointments are typically scheduled up to 1 month in advance. Should for some reason your booking will not be accepted, I will reply anyway.

 

How should I prepare for a tattoo?

Make sure you are well-rested, well-fed and of sound mind and body (i.e.: you aren’t hung-over or still drunk). We highly recommend having a full meal before getting a tattoo to alleviate any dizziness and to increase your pain tolerance. With this being said, you’re more than welcome to bring sweets or drinks with you.

 

Do I need to be over 18 years old?

The legal age to get tattooed is 16, however unless you are 18 you will still need parental consent. Should you not be 16 yet but your parents or guardians consent, it is still illegal to get tattooed. Please bring a government issued ID.

 

What if I am under 18 years old?

If you are still a minor, you will need to be accompanied by a parent, showing both of your government issued IDs when the appointment is made. It is at my discretion to agree to tattoo someone that is not of age, and the content and placement of the tattoo may be a deciding factor. Signed notes or phone calls will not be accepted, nor consent from any other relatives unless they are your legal guardian (in which case proof of guardianship is required).

 

What should I expect to pay?

All tattoos are priced on a case by case basis. Some factors that will determine the price include: size, area of the body, level of detail, and the style of the piece. Due to both this and the design process itself, it is very important to fill out the booking form to the best of your ability, including good descriptions and supported by images.

 

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes, the minimum deposit amount is €50 and may vary for bigger projects. The deposit amount will be deducted from the final total of the tattoo. Please note that the deposit is non - refundable should you decide to cancel, but it may be transferable if you need to re-schedule your appointment given that at least 48 hours notice is given. Should you make your appointment, and I am unable to tattoo you due to negligence (ex severe sunburn) the deposit will also not be refunded.

​

When will I see the design?

Please note that no charge is applied to the hours poured into the design process. For this reason, to avoid anyone getting that design tattooed elsewhere, the design will not be shared till the day of your appointment. This is why it is of utmost importance that the information sent, when booking is as accurate and clear as possible. Minor changes can be done on the day, however if you change your mind on the idea or request too many changes, your appointment may have to be rescheduled.

 

Can I get tattooed if I'm sick?

If you’re sick it’s best to reschedule. Your tolerance to pain and stress will be low.

 

What if I have health conditions?

It depends on the health condition, so pop me an email and I will be able to offer some advice. Should there be any doubt, you will be asked to speak to your doctor before booking in to check that it will be safe to tattoo you.

 

Can I get tattooed while pregnant?

No, if you are pregnant I am unable to tattoo you.

 

Will you tattoo anything I want?

No, I do not tattoo certain areas of the body, such as genitals and mouth or any designs I don’t feel comfortable doing, example anything racial or political.

 

I’m worried about a tattoo I’ve had done, what should I do?

Come in and see me! It’s pretty much impossible to offer advice based on a photo or something described over the phone without seeing it. Also, be honest if you’ve done something silly with your aftercare. I'm not here to judge, but I do need to know the full story to know what to recommend.

 

How do I care for my tattoo?

This will be explained in detail once you acquire your tattoo, however overall you will want to keep your tattoo clean, free of heavy sweating, and moisturize it frequently with a good tattoo cream. Avoid exposing it to the sun, swimming, and tight clothing that may stick to or rub the fresh tattoo.

 

My friend said…

Proper aftercare is crucial for reducing your chances of a negative reaction such as infection and making your tattoo look as good as possible for as long as possible. Although friends and family mean well, their advice when it comes to tattoos has the potential to be outdated or maybe even just based on something they’ve heard themselves. Please take your tattoo artist’s advice first and foremost.
