Booking Policies & FAQ
Booking Information
DEPOSIT POLICY
All appointments require a non-refundable deposit. Once your appointment date has been set I will send you my bank details. Please send me a screenshot of your deposit and remember to put your tattoo appointment date (e.g. 1 July) as the reference.
Your deposit amount comes off the total price of your tattoo and is non-refundable. You can reschedule your appointment once without losing your deposit with at least three days notice. Short notice or repeat rescheduling will require a new deposit to be paid. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows will forfeit your deposit.

After Care
TATTOO
CARE
After your tattoo you have the option of using either glad wrap or second skin. I recommend trying different methods of aftercare to see what works best for you to give you the best healed results possible. If you are new to tattooing and not allergic to adhesives I will recommend second skin as it removes the user error mistakes in a fresh tattoo.
Some general healing tips for the first 2 weeks:
-
If using glad wrap:- Take the glad wrap off 1-3 hours after your tattoo appointment finishes. Wash gently with warm soapy water. You can re wrap with fresh glad wrap overnight on the first night to avoid accidentally scratching your fresh tattoo. From day 2 there is no wrapping your tattoo. Wash it in the shower twice a day and apply a thin layer of aftercare 2-3 times daily.

-
Remember your tattoo is an open wound, treat it accordingly! Do not let anyone touch it or put your fresh tattoo near anything dirty.

-
Stay out of spas, pools, baths, saunas, the ocean and direct sunlight for the first two weeks.

-
While it heals it will peel off and feel itchy, avoid peeling or scratching your healing tattoo.

-
If your tattoo is red, painful or looks infected a few days into the healing process, you can use Savlon (from the chemist) in addition to your aftercare balm. 

-
If you use second skin, leave it on for 2-5 days then take it off gently in the shower and continue your normal aftercare described above until fully healed.

-
Do not use regular moisturisers on your fresh tattoo as they have irritating ingredients, choose something specifically for tattoos.
FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENTS
Your tattoo may need a follow up appointment to perfect the design. Everyone heals differently and tattoos can heal perfect on one person and imperfect on another despite the same artist doing the tattoo.
You may have trouble healing your tattoo and require a follow up session if you have:
-
sensitive skin or a skin condition, 

-
an auto-immune disease, 

-
allergies, 

-
a bleeding disorder (or are on blood thinners), 

-
are heavily medicated (e.g. receiving chemotherapy), 

-
are sick/unwell generally,

-
have trouble healing wounds, or 

-
are a heavy smoker. 

It is my intention to create the best work possible, so please send me a healed photo one month after your appointment so I can assess whether you need a follow up session to add or enhance any part of your tattoo.
