BOOKING IN
Firstly, we need some information on what kind of tattoo you're looking for. Email us your ideas: theme, placement, reference pictures and photo of an area.
Please note that we only specialise in big, realistic style pieces (all day sessions) and the artists don't copy other tattoos so the references are for guidelines only.
Both artists have developed a strong eye for composition, skin tone and placement (all things that will affect the outcome of your new tattoo) so it is important that clients are willing to be flexible and able to listen to our artist's feedback if there are concerns.
TATTOO APPOINTMENTS
Whether it’s your first tattoo or just the latest addition to your collection, we have compiled some helpful advice to make your tattoo appointment as comfortable as possible.
-
Make sure you’re hydrated. Staying hydrated makes your skin more resilient which is especially important when you’re getting a tattoo.
-
Get a good night’s sleep before your tattoo session.
-
Avoid alcohol or any other recreational substances the night before and the day of your tattoo.
-
Make sure you start your day with breakfast, it’s important that you’ve had something to eat before your appointment. For longer sessions, bring snacks (try to be mindful, choose a snack that isn’t messy and can be eaten with one hand).
-
Dress comfortably and appropriately.
-
Bring in entertainment - getting a tattoo is exciting but getting tattooed can be boring but we do have a few tricks up our sleeves to keep you comfortable.
-
If you’ve sustained any injury leading up to your tattoo appointment, please contact us immediately to inform us of the extent of your injury. We may recommend rescheduling to give your body time to heal the existing injury.
AFTERCARE
Please take care of your ink. Your tattoo has been created in a clean and sterile environment, with pre-sterilized one use disposable equipment. Once you leave our studio, it is your responsibility to take care of your new tattoo. It is vital that you follow your artist’s instructions and look after your new tattoo / wounded skin to ensure that you get the best results. Remember, it is important that you do not swim, play sports or sunbathe until your tattoo is fully healed. We recommend that you keep your tattoo out of the sun for about 2-3 months and cover it after with the highest factor sunblock.
