？frequently asked questions
safety & hygiene statement
i always use single-use, sterile needles and ink caps, and open them in your presence. everything that touches skin or ink is brand-new and disposed of afterwards—no exceptions.
fresh gloves and any non-disposable surfaces will be wrapped in plastic to prevent cross-contamination. after each session, i clean all work surfaces with hospital-grade disinfectant and sterilise tools.
customer consent
before any tattoo begins, you'll sign a brief consent form—right before your appointment. it confirms that:
- you’re legally old enough (typically 18+) and have a valid ID.
- you’ve shared important health info (allergies, medications, skin conditions, etc.).
- you understand tattoo risks, permanence, and agree to follow aftercare directions.
this protects both of us and helps ensure your safety and satisfaction.
pricing & deposit policy
- pricing depends on tattoo size, placement, and complexity—fair and transparent estimates are provided before booking.
- a deposit is required to hold your slot. It’s non-refundable but applies toward your final cost.
- rescheduling is allowed with at least 48 hours’ notice, and the deposit is transferred to your new appointment.
- no-shows or cancellations within 48 hours forfeit the deposit. A new deposit is required to rebook.
tattoo prep for clients
to ensure your tattoo experience is smooth and safe:
- hydrate well, avoid alcohol or blood thinners 24 hours beforehand.
- eat a good meal before your session—low blood sugar can affect your comfort.
- wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the tattoo area.
- avoid sunburn or tanning on the tattoo spot—you need healthy skin for the best healing.
- moisturise ahead of time, but don’t apply lotion on the day you get tattooed.
age & ID requirements
- you must be 18 or older and present a valid government ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.)
- we cannot tattoo anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- in certain cases (e.g., minors or special circumstances), additional parental consent—this will be discussed if applicable.
