Frequently asked questions

How should I prepare for my tattoo session?

- Do not go to a tanning salon for at least 3 weeks before your session

- Moisturise the area where your tattoo will be every day, starting 2 weeks before the appointment. You can use any moisturiser.

- Do not drink alcohol the day before the session.

- Do not take any painkillers on the day of the session because they can thin the blood.

- Have a proper breakfast on the day of the session.

- Have a good night sleep the day before your session.

- Bring some sugary drinks and snacks with you.

What are your prices?

My full-day session rate is £600.

For smaller designs, I price by the piece, considering the level of details and time required.

Before starting any project, I always provide an estimated cost so you know what to expect - no surprise at the end!

How many sessions for big projects?

Every tattoo is unique - factors like size, details, and body type all affect the time required.

Quality tattoos take time, and no great piece is done in a rush.

Here's a general guide for larger projects:

-Full Arm Sleeve: 5-8 full-day sessions

-Full Leg Sleeve: 9-12 full-day sessions

-Full Front Panel: 4-7 full-day sessions

-Full Back Piece: 6-10 full-day sessions

I always prioritize detail and precision to ensure the best results. I'll provide a personalized estimate before we start.

How do I look after my tattoo?

· Keep the Second Skin on for up to 4 days (do not cover with cling film).

· It's waterproof, but only take quick showers - no bath/soaking.

· If peels early, follow the steps below.

After removing Second Skin:

· Wash gently with lukewarm water & 0% soap (without fragrances/colourants) - do not scrub with sponges

· Air dry the tattoo or gently pat with a clean paper towel - do not use bath towels as bacteria can spread over.

· Apply a tiny amount of tattoo cream, 2x daily for 2 weeks, then 1x daily (I recommend Easy Tattoo cream).

· Let skin breathe - do not over-apply cream.

Avoid:

· Vaseline, Bephanten, coconut oil - they're not suitable for healing.

· Scratching, picking, or over - moisturizing (all of these can highly damage the tattoo).

· Baths, pools, saunas, or gym for at least 10 days.

· Direct contact with animals - to prevent infection.

· Sun exposure - always use SPF 50+.

If you have questions, ask me - not your friends or google!

What does it mean Full-day session?

A full-day typically lasts 7-9 hours, allowing enough time for larger or highly detailed tattoos.

This includes setup (stencil and sizing to perfect fit), breaks (30 min for lunch and smaller ones if needed), and the tattooing process (5-7 hrs under the needle).

If I need more time to finish the project it will be at no extra cost, ensuring the best result without rushing.

What if I need Touch-Ups?

I stand by the quality of my work, and I want your tattoo to look it's best for life. That's why I offer free lifetime touch-ups on all my tattoos.

If some parts of your tattoo doesn't seem to healed right or you need a refresh, just reach out and I'll take care of it - at no cost to you!

Proper aftercare is key to healing, so make sure to follow the instructions provided to keep your tattoo looking sharp.

Do some areas need more Touch-Ups?

Yes! Certain areas of the body - like the neck, fingers, hands, and feet - are more prone to fading and may require touch-ups over time.

These spots experience constant movement, friction, and the exposure to the elements, which can cause ink fade faster than in other areas.

Even with the best aftercare, tattoos in these placements may not hold ink as well as others. That's why I offer free lifetime touch-ups - so you can keep your tattoo looking its best.

if you're considering a tattoo in one of these areas, just be aware of the maintenance it might need.

What if I have a Medical Condition?

If you have a medical condition and aren't sure whether you can get tattoo, it's always best to consult your doctor first.

Certain conditions like diabetes, eczema, psoriasis, blood disorders, or a weakened immune system - can affect how your skin heals and how your body reacts to the tattooing process.
