Frequently Asked Questions
My prices
My prices for tattooing are determined by several factors, including the size of your tattoo, its placement on your body, the level of detail and complexity of the design, the tattoo style, and the number of colours used. To provide you with the most accurate quote, please share this information with me so I can give you a precise estimate.
Tattoo Booking Process
1. Choose a Date
We'll start on agreeing a suitable date for your appointment
2. Secure Your Spot
To secure your booking, a deposit is required. This secures your time slot with the studio. Your deposit contributes towards the cost of your tattoo and is not refundable.
3. Design Preparation
Once the deposit is received, I begin working on your design. The design will either be presented in the studio or you'll receive it a couple of days before your appointment so there's time for any final tweaks based on your feedback.
4. Appointment Day
Arrive at the studio on the agreed date and get ready for your new tattoo!
5. Changes and Cancellations
You may reschedule your appointment once without losing your deposit, as long as you notify me at least 48 hours in advance. Any further rescheduling will be treated as a new booking and will require a new deposit. If you cancel or don't show up, your deposit will be forfeited. I reserve the right to refuse service at my discretion.

Recommendations
Before the appointment:
- Get a good night's sleep and eat a proper meal beforehand - low blood sugar can make the process more uncomfortable
- Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol the day before
- No sunbathing (incl. solarium) for at least one week before your appointment - sunburned or tanned skin cannot be tattooed
- Avoid coffee and energy drinks at least 2 hours before your appointment - they can increase sensitivity and bleeding
- Do not shave the tattoo area yourself - I will take care of that if needed to ensure it's done safely
Coming to the studio:
- Wear clean, comfortable clothes that allow easy access to the tattoo area
- If you have long hair, please bring a scrunchy or something to tie it back
- If your tattoo session is expected to be lengthy, feel free to bring a snack or something to eat during breaks to keep your energy up
Numbing cream usage:
- I don't recommend using numbing creams before or during the procedure, as they may negatively affect the tattoo's quality and how your skin reacts during the process
For women:
- Sensitivity tends to increase in the week before and during your period. If possible, try to avoid booking your appointment during the first 2-3 days of your cycle
Touch Up
If you contact me within 4 weeks of your tattoo session, you're eligible for one free touch-up if needed. After the 4-week window, touch-ups are available at a £50 charge. Please note: if a touch up is needed due to negligence in aftercare it will be done entirely at your expense.
