PLEASE READ FIRST...PLEASE?

I'd really appreciate it if you took note of the following BEFORE you book anything with me...we all work differently and it’s important for you to know a lot of this info…thanks so much for being here :)

  • I only tattoo 18+ humans

  • I always need to QUOTE YOU FIRST before booking, including Flash

  • NO TATTOO can be  booked unless you have spoken with me either by email, DM on instagram or you've had a Free Consultation with me

  • my BOOKS ARE ALWAYS OPEN

PRIVATE STUDIO

  • I have a lovely, safe private studio in Osborne Park. I share the space with the very talented Carry Bizz. We are both ‘appointment only’ studios and have created a warm, adult and safe space for our clients.

COME ALONE PLEASE

  • it is important for my studio to be a safe space that works for both you AND me, so please come alone.

  • we have a strict NO children or pets policy too.

ARE WE THE RIGHT FIT?

  • I love tattooing. I am also very particular about who and what I tattoo….one of the many benefits of working for myself! It is as important to me that I enjoy the process as much as you…if I am not enjoying it, it will translate into the tattoo.

  • for you, you need to get the vibe from my Instagram as far as style, etc goes. I also get you to read all of this info so that you can choose if you think we are a good fit. I hope we are!

WHAT STYLES I DO TATTOO

WHAT STYLES I DON’T DO

  • I love tattooing certain styles and subject matter and not others. I don’t do shading, watercolours, realism,..it’s best to check with me if you’re unsure. I won’t tattoo above the neck. I don’t tattoo under the ankle bone or in the creases at your wrist either.

FINGER/ HAND TATTOOS

  • These are done on an individual basis.

  • Please consider that finger tatts can be job stoppers. Life changes…because you think that you’ll always be in your current industry for work, doesn’t mean that can’t change. Think long and hard about this decision please.

  • finger and hand tattoos are a different canvas to the other parts of the body. They can fade more easily, drop out, blow out, may need touch ups for ever and often don’t heal having that same look as other parts of our body. They are a risk….just some things to think about before moving forward.

  • I don’t tattoo in the creases on your fingers or the sides of fingers and hands. All hands are different, sometimes you may not have fingers big enough for what you’d like. We can adapt designs to fit or find the alternatives.

QUOTES

  • it is critical to my method that you get a quote before you book anything on-line. You should not pay any deposit (they are non-refundable) unless you’ve communicated with me and received a quote.

  • to quote you accurately and help in the design process, I will ask for you to give me a ‘size in cms’. Please do not guess….aside from wasting both our time, it could mean that your quote blows out by a lot and I’d rather you knew as accurately as possible the cost and that we stick to your budget. The wrong size can also affect the design and options etc.

  • please note, I can’t go through the sometimes lengthy process of quoting on line and then doing a Free consultation, choose your preferred method

  • I will always need to know the concept, the size in cms and placement. Sending references is great too. If you want script an example of the font you want helps me to quote more accurately.

HOW TO CONTACT ME FOR A QUOTE

FREE CONSULTATIONS

  • if you are wanting a custom piece, this is an ideal option. You share references and tell me what you are after. I will listen, share my ideas and advise accordingly.

  • if I’m feeling like it’s a good fit and I like the idea, then all good. If it isn’t my thing, I’ll try and refer you to someone else

  • it’s a great idea to put your references into an album on your phone beforehand &/or create a pinterest board for me to look at

AVAILABILTY

  • I can work any day of the week, upon request, including Sundays

  • if you would like to book a session or consultation on any day that isn’t listed on line, then please message me with your request for another day/ time and I’ll see what I can do to accommodate you

DESIGN POLICY

  • you will receive your design 24-48 hours before your session. Minor changes can be made.

  • if you change your mind or major changes are required, there is a good chance that we will need to reschedule and there could be an increase in cost for the extra work and time required. You would need to give me 7 days notice of complete change of design and placement.

  • it’s important that you choose your artist wisely and trust that we know what we are doing and advise accordingly.

DEPOSITS

  • deposits are non-refundable.

  • I take 50% deposit up front and the balance is due on the day, either by bank transfer or cash

  • if at any time, I feel like the vibe between us has been lost, I will make the call and return your deposit to your bank account of choice… it happens and it’s all cool.

RESCHEDULING/ CANCELLATION/ NO SHOWS

  • if you need to reschedule, please give me a minimum of 48 hours notice and I will transfer your deposit

  • if you cancel your session or a you are a ‘no show’ , your deposit is forfeited as they are non-refundable

WHAT TO WEAR/ PREPARING FOR YOUR SESSION

  • make sure you eat well on the day

  • zero hangover and zero symptoms of one, you need to feel 110%

  • you may need to undress or be semi naked depending on the placement. This is the nature of tattooing. Luckily, my private studio provides privacy and safety

  • if you are getting your upper body inked, please wear a singlet, nothing too baggy. A bikini top is good if it’s your sternum being done. Sometimes we can tape up nipples for your comfort. Take a moment to think about where you are being tattooed and that I will need clear access.

  • if it’s your lower body being inked, then loose pants, shorts or a skirt or dress. Nothing can be tight and restrict blood flow.

  • please shower on the day and wear clean clothes without pet hair etc.

  • please wear underwear

  • please never get tattooed if you are unwell

AFTERCARE

  • we are very big on Aftercare around here and as such, we will give you printed instructions after your session and make sure you are fully across the process before you leave

FLASH

  • flash is quoted for arms and legs placement. If you want it somewhere else, I’ll need to discuss it with you and requote

CUSTOM

  • I can often quote digitally for these, using the methods listed above

  • you are welcome to book a Free Consultation

If you have any other queries, please email me.
