Tattoo booking info & FAQ

My specialty is colour, black and grey & opaque grey style tattoos.
Please refer to my portfolio which can be found on Instagram, Facebook, and Gallery to see the kind of work I accept, as I rarely stray from my style.
I am happiest when tattooing animals, sea life, pet portraits, horror, spooky stuff, portraits (characters, celebrities etc.), nature, detailed objects, abstract, surrealism, and anything realism, super textured and detailed!

$200 per hour
Full day is capped at $1200.
Full day sessions are between 6-10hrs.

Please advise me before securing your appointment if you have a strict budget.

A non-refundable $200 deposit is required to secure each booking date.
The deposit will come off the total cost of your tattoo on your booking date.

If you are unable to make your appointment and need to reschedule, your deposit can be transferred to your next booking date, provided a minimum of 72hrs notice is given.
Multiple or constant rescheduling (more than twice) may result in the forfeit of your deposit, so please double check your booking dates work for you.

Realism tattoos are time-consuming, especially when they are done in colour. Multiple layers and details are required to create this kind of tattoo, therefore they need to be large enough to accommodate all that detail.
The longevity of your tattoo (how it heals and holds up over the years) will be much better if the tattoo is large enough.

I only want to do my best work, and my best work requires time and patience. I don’t want to rush the work, and I guarantee you don’t want that either.
If you are after something on the faster side, please chat to me about it! There are certain recommendations I can make for style, design and placement if you want this style done faster.

I will give you guidance on appropriate sizing during the designing process, as it varies from person to person and depends on the design. If you have a specific sizing restriction please include this in your booking form so I can customise the design to your needs.

As I take on work within my own style and interests, having trust and freedom with the design is greatly preferred.
If you agree to give ‘artistic freedom’ in your booking form submission, I will collaborate with you by using your design ideas while applying my own expertise and artistic flair along with it to ensure you get the best possible tattoo. This means you will not have a heavy influence on your tattoo design.

Many factors are taken into consideration during the designing process such as your skin type (complexion/age/scars/skin condition etc.), which designs translate well to skin, placement on the body, sizing parameters, longevity of the tattoo (what’s going to age well over the years), if it’s a cover up etc.
I kindly request you keep an open mind with the design and tattooing process as I only want to do my best work, and having this trust really helps to create a successful tattoo.

You are being offered a tattoo appointment based off your design idea, therefore a change of mind can result in a cancelled or rescheduled appointment. This depends on how late notice the change of mind is, and whether or not the new design idea would have been accepted in the first place – this is decided on a case by case basis.
Minor changes to the design are usually not a problem at all, though difficulty coming to an agreement about the design once artistic freedom has been given to me by you, can result in a cancelled or rescheduled appointment.

Once your tattoo session is over, the aftercare of your tattoo is your responsibility. If you follow proper aftercare you will have the best possible quality for your tattoo.

Some tattoos require some time off or limited activity, but this depends on various factors such as where the tattoo is on your body, your job, and your lifestyle.
After you submit a booking form, preparation & aftercare information will be sent to you which you should read carefully before securing an appointment.

Touch ups are a small amount of ink loss, typically a few little spots here and there.

If you think touch ups are needed, please get in touch. You will need to email me with some photos of your tattoo 4 weeks after your tattoo session.
You can book your touch ups approximately 8 weeks after your tattoo session, as it takes this long for most realism tattoos to heal and settle enough.

Please try to come in before the tattoo is over a year old.
After 1 year, you could be quoted full rates since the ink will settle in more over time and may require more work.

A second pass is an additional session to pass over your existing perfectly healed tattoo to add more ink to the skin, as well as additional details and textures to the design that can’t always be achieved in one session.

Although second passes are not compulsory, they are recommended for the longevity of your tattoo. The more ink in your skin, the longer it will last over the years.
During the body’s natural healing process, a percentage of ink is “lost” from the skin. Doing a second pass essentially replaces “lost” pigment and increases the tattoo’s overall ink density. Thus creating a more solid and long-lasting tattoo.

You can come in for a second pass any time between 8 weeks – 1 year after your initial tattoo session.
Second-pass sessions are significantly shorter, on average 1-3hrs is sufficient for any tattoos that were done in a full day session.
