No, I do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18, even with parental consent. This is to comply with legal regulations and ensure the safety and well-being of my clients.

Yes, a valid photo ID is required for all tattoo appointments to verify age and identity. Acceptable forms of ID include a driver’s license or passport.

Each project is unique and quoted individually as opposed to an hourly rate.

The cost of a tattoo depends on several factors, including the size, complexity of the design, and the time it takes to complete. This can be discussed via email or during your consultation, I will provide you with an estimate based on your specific design and placement.

I do not do cover ups. The style of my tattooing does not lend itself to successfully cover up previous work.

No. I only touch up my own work (within a 6 month period). I do not fix or add to other artists tattoos. I can work around existing tattoos.

Yes, tattoos can be done over scars and stretch marks, but the texture and appearance of these may affect the final result. I can talk with you about the best approach and design options for tattooing over a scar or stretch marks.

It is generally advised to wait until after you have given birth and finished breastfeeding before getting a tattoo. This is to avoid any potential risks to you and your baby.

No, you should avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Alcohol can thin your blood, which may lead to excessive bleeding and affect the outcome of your tattoo.

No, it’s best to wait until your skin has fully healed from any sunburn before getting a tattoo. Tattooing over sunburned skin can be more painful and may affect the healing process and final appearance of the tattoo.

No, I cannot tattoo you if you have applied fake tanning products due to potential risks such as chemical interference, ink absorption and needle penetration difficulties and increased infection risk.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. For example, if you're getting a tattoo on your arm, wear a short-sleeved shirt or a tank top. Avoid wearing anything that you don't want to risk getting ink on.

I use high-quality, vegan, and professional-grade tattoo inks that are safe and comply with all health regulations. My inks are also vegan-friendly and free from harmful substances. If you have any concerns about allergies or sensitivities, please discuss them with me beforehand.

Unfortunately I do not offer gift certificates.
