FAQs

how to book in

please use the link on my website which will direct you to my online form systems , I do not do bookings through my dms

how long should I expect to wait for a booking ?

It depends on the month , I travel for guesting quite often but my main base for now is London.

All appointments are arranged at a month by month basis by my assistant who will be in contact with you through instagram dms - so please make sure to send your account in when submitting a form , it could take up to a month to receive a reply to your booking form

will I get a reply if my submission is unsuccessful ?

Unfortunately due to the volume of submissions I am currently receiving there isn’t enough time to let every unsuccessful application know. 

Some reasons for why your submission might be unsuccessful:
  • there isnt enough time to do your submission with the time frame/dates you
  • have sent me as I may already be fully booked
  • you have sent in a submission that is not my own work / doesn’t reflect my work
  • I don’t tattoo small tattoos anymore ( other than occasional flash days ) so your tattoo may not be the project I would take on at this time
  • the budget you have sent is too low for what you have requested

aftercare

so you’ve got your tattoo done ! firstly thank you for your trust in me during your session

please to ensure your tattoo heals as beautifully as possible follow these steps 
  • no swimming / bathing / being underwater with your fresh tattoo for extended periods of time for at least 3 weeks / longer for larger more filled in pieces
  • no scratching / peeling off / picking at your tattoo during the healing process , let any scabs naturally fall off
  • ensure that you are using a natural butter to moisturise your tattoo, I recommend less is more with this , twice a day with a cocoa butter / shea butter / coconut oil will be good enough for you tattoo
  • you want to make sure you are not wearing any tight clothing around your tattoo while its in its first week of healing , I use a lot of fine lines and these are super delicate during the first week
  • please for the first year that you have your tattoo make sure you are wearing enough spf in the sun even on cloudy days - the sun is essentially a huge laser for your tattoos so you want to make sure it is kept away while it is still essentially fresh skin
  • please no gym with your new tattoo for 2-3 weeks
  • if you have been given second skin dressing , leave this on for 2-3 days , no need for extra . take this off under warm running water and pull off in the direction that your hair grows rather than against it
  • if you have been given cling film , please leave this on for a few hours and take it easy on the day of your tattoo

what is your availability ?

I typically only work Friday's now, but if you are travelling/have limited time (not including guest spots) please let me know in your form and I can see if I can make an adjustment for you !

how do I pay for my tattoo ?

I take cash or bank transfer in the session , if you are international I only take PayPal or cash

sustainability ?

I only use vegan inks for my tattoos , as well as all eco tat products which are eco friendly and biodegradable. My packaging for my shop is all recyclable. 

can I get a tattoo design from you to use in another country ?

Unfortunately since my practice is very art and experience driven , I cannot allow another artist to replicate my work.

You will not receive the same experience I try to offer , or the same look / feel of the piece that I could give it since all of them are drawn in session.

If you would like to support my work I have art prints, homeware and more available for purchase from my website.

can I get tattooed over scars ?

Yes , as long as they are fully healed , I cannot tattoo over any open wounds , I have tattooed over a few scars and not seen any issues / difference to the skin. 

If you require a private session please let me know as well so I can make the experience as comfortable as possible for you , I will never make you reveal more of the area you want tattooed than is necessary.

how do I prepare for my tattoo ?

to prepare for your new tattoo please follow these steps :

  • do not shave beforehand , I will do all the shaving in the session , this eliminates the risk of you potentially getting a cut on the area you want tattooed , which will mean I cannot tattoo it
  • please come fed and bring any snacks you will want to have during the tattoo to your appointment , sometimes blood pressure can drop / adrenaline from anxiety can make you feel faint or dizzy , so any of your favourite snacks / sweets will help a lot , if you forget we always have teas and snacks available at the studio
  • please have a rough placement in your mind before coming in for your tattoo
  • please let me know at least 24 hours before your session if you are planning on changing your tattoo idea
  • please let me know of every element you are wanting to include in your tattoo if you have specific requests , do not wait til the appointment to suddenly let me know of something you want included that is not like my regular work , I will either have to turn the session down or not have enough time as I work every day with fresh ideas , being thrown off could cause me a lot of anxiety and affect my ability to be able to prepare and create something I am happy with ( eg . you tell me suddenly in the session without telling me beforehand that you want a custom of your pet In the collage / an animal or theme I do not usually do ) my main animals are rabbits and swans in my style
  • please wear something which allows easy access to the tattoo area you are wanting to get tattooed , if you are getting a back piece please wear something like a button up shirt which you can turn backwards and have your full back exposed , for legs please bring shorts with you , and floaty tops for arms

will I see my design before the appointment ?

I do not design pre appointment , please refer to my about page to see the ethos behind each of my sessions , this also protects me from any copyright problems / art theft
