Hey friends! Let’s run through some basics about my cool little gig.
Enquires:
A handy form has been set up for you to fill out, located on the Linktree!
It’ll run you through the basic questions that I’ll need to help answer your enquiry. The generally basic information you need includes placement on the body, sizing in cms, a description of the idea and reference images of the tattoo style! Super simple, if you’re unsure about placement and sizing, I’m always happy to help with recommendations.
Bookings:
Bookings are secured by a non-refundable deposit, which can be paid via contacting the shop over the phone or bank transfer. Please note the shop/myself need more than 48 hours notice, when rescheduling or cancelling an appointment, any less notice will result in the non-refundable deposit being forfeited. Deposits come off the total amount charged at the end of the appointment.
Touch up appointment requests:
The first touch up is free, fees will incur for any touch ups needed after the first free touch up appointment. A super simple form has been set up for you to fill out, also on the Linktree. Let me know what needs touching up, and your preferred days/times. We can go from there and get you sorted.
Consult tattoos:
Free in person consults are offered for anyone who’s not too sure about their ideas. They range from 15-30 mins long, and we have a chat about your ideas/questions regarding design, style, placement etc. A super simple form has been set up for you to fill out, on the Linktree. There’s a short little reel I made, linked below, that might help anyone who’s a little overwhelmed with where and what to start thinking about for a tattoo.
Cultural tattoos:
If you are looking to get a traditional cultural tattoo, please approach the appropriate practitioners of the relevant culture to do so. I do not have the cultural knowledge, connection or comfortability to do traditional cultural tattoos of culture I do not belong to. I am more than happy to help, by recommending and looking for artists of the relevant culture to do the piece for you. I’m more than happy to recommend local relevant artists, so please feel free to contact me through email!
Flash tattoos:
Ready made available flash designs are kept in a highlight on my instagram. Please note there are not changes to the design. In your enquiry; include a screenshot of the flash (specify which one, if it’s on a sheet of multiple). Please also include the placement on the body and sizing in cms in the form to determine a quote and length or appointment (unless already priced and size recommended on sheet). My flash are not repeatable, if something has become unavailable, I’m always more than happy to come up with another design similar, suited to your ideas of placement on the body and sizing in cms.
Designs:
If your references are directly screenshot from an artist, or I can recognise it has been pulled from an artist; I will ask you if you have obtained permission from the original artist to tattoo the design.
If it is pulled from a local artist, I will tell you enquire with the said original artist. If you want the exact style/image of the artist, it is etiquette and worth waiting till they have availability for you.
Designs will always be drawn up gathering inspiration from the references, so please point out any details you like. Keep in mind, I will not completely copy a design.
If you have any major changes to the design in mind leading up to an appointment booked with a deposit, please send them through at least a week before the appointment. Any small changes in mind must be sent at least 48 hours. Changes may affect the length of an appointment, or the quote that was initially given.
If unsure if the changes are large or small, please send them a week beforehand.
Full and finished designs will never be sent out before the appointment secured with a deposit, however conceptual drafts may be sent to make sure we are on the same page (especially for larger projects).
Placement – Job stoppers:
Please note, I do not tattoo hands, fingers, faces or neck tattoos unless you are heavily tattooed. These are highly visible placement for tattoos that may hinder career and general access to venues.
Fingers/hand tattoos are also prone to dropping out due to general use and hygiene in everyday life. Please research what this could look like, as they can be high maintenance, before continuing the decision.
