Frequently Asked Questions
Thinking about getting a tattoo and have a few questions first? Below are some of the most common things clients ask before booking their appointment. If you need more information, simply get in touch and we will be happy to help.
How do I book a tattoo consultation?
You can book a consultation by filling out the contact form on the website or messaging the studio directly. During the consultation you can discuss your idea, placement, size and style.
Do I need to bring a design with me?
Not necessarily. Many clients bring inspiration images, but the artist can help design something custom that suits your idea, body placement and style.
How much does a tattoo cost?
The price of a tattoo depends on the size, detail, placement and time required. After discussing your design during the consultation you will receive an accurate quote.
How long does a tattoo session usually take?
Session length varies depending on the complexity of the tattoo. Small tattoos may take under an hour, while larger pieces or sleeves can require multiple sessions.
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
Pain levels vary depending on the placement and your personal tolerance. Most people describe the sensation as a scratching feeling and it becomes easier as the session goes on.
How should I prepare before my tattoo appointment?
Make sure you get a good night's sleep, eat beforehand and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol before your appointment and wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area.
What is the aftercare for a new tattoo?
Aftercare includes keeping the tattoo clean, moisturised and protected while it heals. Your artist will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best healing and colour retention.
Can I get a tattoo cover up?
Yes. Cover up tattoos are designed to transform or hide existing tattoos. During the consultation the artist will assess the current tattoo and discuss the best options for a successful cover up.
Do you offer custom tattoo designs?
Yes. Every tattoo can be customised to suit your vision. The artist works closely with clients to design unique pieces that reflect their ideas and personal style.
How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?
Most tattoos take around two to four weeks to heal on the surface, although deeper layers of skin may take longer. Following proper aftercare helps ensure the best results.
