Get a good night's sleep, and eat something before your appointment. Come in hydrated, bathed and well refreshed, and try to avoid excessive alcohol the night before.
Bring sugary snacks and water - especially for long sessions.
We'll be able to take breaks during the session if needed as well.
You are welcome to bring headphones, something to watch or read to help you stay in the right headspaceWear something comfortable and suitable for where you’re getting tattooed. Maybe leave your sunday best at home - I try not to get ink on clothes, but tattooing can get messy.
Does it hurt??
Yep.
Everyone goes through it differently though, it can depend on the spot, how long we're working, and your own pain tolerance and management.Some places feel like a scratch or mild sting, others are a bit rough. If you’re worried about pain, we can break the session up.
There’s no shame in tapping out - as long as the stencil or linework’s done, we can always finish in a second session.

While there is space in the studio for a friend, the studio can fill up pretty quickly and become crowded - you’re welcome to bring a friend in and hang out while space allows though!

Pricing will vary, depending on size, placement, detail, or whether the tattoo is colour or black and grey.
Once I've taken a look at your booking form, I will get back to you with a quote.
For a rough idea - My minimum rate is $150, a half day is $700 and a full day is $1200.
All flash and custom designs that can be completed in one session will be quoted by the piece. Every tattoo is priced individually.Larger Projects (like sleeves, fronts, or backs) will need multiple sessions.
A full day session is typically around 6 hours.
If you are working with a budget, just let me know - we can always work something out. -
Sorry, not from me.
I won’t tattoo anyone under the age of 18, even with consent from a legal guardian or parent.

I post most of my flash on Instagram.
You can find most of my available designs in the highlights section.
I’ve also got flash books in the studio you can flick through on the day.And if you’ve got something specific in mind, I’m open to custom designs too — just mention it on the booking form.

Maybe!
I will take these projects on a case by case basis, send me a clear image of the existing tattoo, along with what you'd like to cover it with.
Sometimes it might be best to consider laser to lighten the existing tattoo to make room for something new.
Reach out, and we'll see if it's something we can work on together.
