Advice for BEFORE your appointment:

• Moisturize the tattoo area every day at least a week before your appointment – this makes the skin smoother and helps the tattooing process. Three days before, please GENTLY exfoliate the area to avoid any dead skin buildup.

• Protect your skin with SPF 30 or 50. I cannot tattoo sunburnt areas. 

• DO NOT go on sunbeds at least a month before your appointment. 

• Don’t wear fake tan or any other cosmetics (ONLY USE moisturizer and very light body scrub) on the tattoo area for at least a week before.

• Don’t drink alcohol the night before your appointment. It can thin your blood and make the tattooing process harder.

• I cannot tattoo you if you’re currently on blood thinner medication. Check this before booking your appointment.

• If you’re concerned you might have a medical condition necessitating a doctor’s note, please reach out to me in advance to confirm whether your condition requires authorization from a physician.

• If you suspect you may be pregnant, please inform me. Your appointment will need to be postponed or rescheduled until after pregnancy or breastfeeding (deposits will be transferred, but kindly provide advance notice).

• Please ensure you plan your activities in the days following your tattoo appointment, as some tattoos may require longer downtime. It’s important to plan around work and travel commitments.
