Q&A
How should I best prepare for my tattoo?
Keep hydrated, eat a good dinner the night before and get a good sleep. Eat a healthy breakfast and avoid coffee on the morning of your tattoo. Do not take any aspirin within 24 hours before your appointment.
Moisturise your skin leading up to your tattoo. Avoid alcohol a few days prior. If you can, try to be in a relaxed state before your tattoo. Stress can significantly change the experience.
Make sure your skin is not sunburned before your appointment. You cannot be tattooed if your skin is in a sunburnt condition.
Let me know if you have any medical conditions that could be relevant.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Headphones, water bottle, snacks, comfy clothes, anything else you need for comfort and cash for payment.
What are your prices?
I charge per piece depending on design, size and placement.
Is the deposit refundable for cancellation or rescheduling?
Deposits are not refundable. Deposits are moved to the new booking when rescheduled with more than 24 hours notice.
What is the studio address?
The studio is located in Forest Range, 5139. The address is shared when the booking is confirmed.
Can I use numbing cream?
You are welcome to use numbing cream. I do not supply the numbing cream, you need to source that yourself. I would recommend avoiding numbing cream if you can, as it affects the process and the outcome.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes, you are welcome to bring a friend.
Can we book as a couple or small group?
Yes, small groups are welcome.
Do you do touchups?
Of course, reach out to me and I’ll organise a touchup appointment. I encourage my clients to send me healed photos as I like to see the final results, also to check if it needs a touchup. There are no fee for touch ups.
Where do I buy aftercare cream?
I will supply you with enough samples of Hustle Butter Aftercare Cream to get you through the two weeks. After that, a sensitive moisturiser will do the trick.
