FAQ's

WHO CAN GET TATTOOED?

I welcome anyone who is over 18 and able to prove so; not pregnant or breastfeeding; not drunk or intoxicated; and those who are not verbally or physically abusive.

DO YOU DO WALK-INS?

No, as it is a private studio, I work by appointment only. Feel free to fill out the contact form and I will respond as soon as possible with availability.

HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST?

I can only offer a final quote when I have the finished design ready. Prices vary from my minimum price to multiple full day sessions. If you would like an estimate, let me know in the contact form and please make sure you have given as much info as possible! If you have requests or questions, I encourage you to communicate beforehand to avoid any misunderstanding and ensure the optimal result and experience. 

DO YOU DO CONSULTATIONS?

Yes, I actually much prefer to have a consultation with you first to fully understand your requests and expectations. This is free and a vital part of the process.

DO I HAVE TO PAY A DEPOSIT?

Yes, I would need a deposit to secure the appointment and it is non refundable (see rescheduling). It does however, come off the final price of the tattoo

CAN I RESCHEDULE?

If you would like to cancel or reschedule once the deposit has been paid, the deposit cannot be refunded, but it can be kept for a new date, provided that you give at least 48 hours notice and the new date is set immediately. If I am notified less than 48 hours prior to the appointment, the deposit will be lost and a new deposit will be required for a new appointment.

DO YOU DO COVER UPS?

Yes I do. The best thing to do would be come down for a free consultation and show me the cover up in person. 

CAN I ASK FOR PRIVACY WHILST I AM GETTING TATTOOED?

I appreciate that some tattoos may require privacy due to the nature of their placements so my room is fully private.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO / BRING WITH ME ON THE DAY?

1 - Try not to drink alcohol on the day (or night before)

2 - Eat a substantial meal beforehand

3 - Stay hydrated and bring (non alcoholic) drinks, plus snacks for larger sessions 

4 - Remember we will be in close proximity, so be nice and clean!

5 - Dress comfortably and ideally darker clothing to avoid ink stains

6 - Set aside enough time, no-one wants to rush a tattoo for life.

CAN I BRING A FRIEND WITH ME?

Whilst I appreciate getting a tattoo can be an unfamiliar process for some and that support from loved ones is appreciated, I unfortunately can only allow the person getting tattooed into the treatment area. Friends/family are welcome to come for the initial consultation.

DO YOU USE VEGAN INK?

Yes, all the ink I use is vegan.

DO YOU DO NIPPLE/AREOLA TATTOOS?

Yes, I can do nipple/areola tattoos. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this.

DO YOU DO CUSTOM DESIGNS?

Yes, I much prefer to try and make something unique for you so I like to work from your ideas. If you already have a design you want, I can also modify it slightly to work for you.

CAN I USE NUMBING CREAM?

No, I would never recommend numbing cream as it makes the skin very difficult for me to work on. It also can negatively affect the healing process. 

HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY TATTOO?

Please see aftercare page

WHERE ARE YOU BASED?

I am based in Richmond, West London
