Question 1

How do I book an appointment with you?

Accepted Answer

The absolute easiest way is right here through getink.app! Just fill out the enquiry form with your ideas, rough sizing, and where on your body you'd like the tattoo to go. Once I look over your concept, I’ll reach out to finalise the details, arrange a deposit, and lock in your date. Did you check out my Flash designs in the meantime?

Question 2

Where are you based and is there parking nearby?

Accepted Answer

I am based out of Dermoda Studio in Highbridge, Somerset. It’s a fantastic, hygienic, and welcoming space. There is carpark situated just across the tattoo studio, it’s accessible and very cheap to park with ample availability at any time of day.

Question 3

Do you offer flash designs, or only custom work?

Accepted Answer

I love doing both! I regularly drop pre-drawn "flash" designs (keep an eye on my Instagram and getink.app profile), which are ready to go as-is. If you want something entirely unique, we can collaborate on a custom piece tailored specifically to your ideas and body placement.

Question 4

Is the studio you work at safe and inclusive?

Accepted Answer

100%. I provide a strictly zero-judgment, LGBTQ+ friendly, and fully accepting experience.Tattoos are an incredible way to celebrate your body, your identity, and your story. Whoever you are, however you identify, and whatever your background, you are entirely welcome, safe, and respected here.

Question 5

What is the vibe like during the session? Do we have to chat?

Accepted Answer

The social energy of the session is completely up to you! I am incredibly down-to-earth and always up for a good chat, a laugh, or swapping stories. But if you’d prefer a "silent appointment" to just zone out, listen to your own music, read a book, or process the pain in peace, there is absolutely no pressure to entertain me. Just let me know at the start of the session—I want you to be as comfortable as possible.

Question 6

This is my first tattoo, will it hurt and can I use numbing cream?

Accepted Answer

Tattoos definitely carry a unique sting, but it’s completely manageable, and we can go entirely at your pace with plenty of breaks! Regarding numbing cream: please talk to me before buying or applying any. Some over-the-counter creams can change the texture of your skin, making it tougher to pack ink smoothly, and can cause the tattoo to heal poorly. Creams purchased from unregulated sites and marketplaces should be avoided completely.If we decide it's a good fit for your session, I'll tell you exactly which brand to use and how to apply it safely.

Question 7

Can I bring a friend along?

Accepted Answer

To keep the studio space relaxed, safe, and clean for everyone—and to let me focus 100% on giving you an incredible tattoo—I generally ask that you come to your appointment alone. However, if you are feeling incredibly anxious or have specific accessibility needs, just drop me a message beforehand so we can absolutely make arrangements for up to 1 friend or family member to join you!

Question 8

When do I get to see my custom design?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes I share my designs ahead of time, although in most cases I draw and prepare all custom designs specifically for the day of your appointment. When you arrive at the studio, we’ll look at the design together on the iPad. This is the perfect time to check the flow against your body, scale it up or down, and make any minor tweaks together. We won't start until you are 100% happy with how it looks!

Question 9

How should I prepare for my tattoo day?

Accepted Answer

Prepping your body makes a massive difference in how the session feels and how beautifully your tattoo heals. Here is your ultimate prep list:

Sleep well: Get a solid night’s rest before your session. Being tired lowers your pain tolerance.

Eat a hearty meal: Eat a good, filling meal 1 to 2 hours before you come in. This keeps your blood sugar stable and stops you from feeling lightheaded.

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water the day before and the day of your appointment. Hydrated skin takes ink much better!

Skip the party: Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your session (it thins your blood and ruins the process).

Skin care: Please avoid fake tan or getting sunburnt on the area. If you have a sunburn, we’ll have to reschedule!

Question 10

What should I wear for my tattoo day?

Accepted Answer

Comfort over everything! Wear loose, dark clothing that you don't mind getting a stray spot of ink or stencil fluid on. Most importantly, make sure your outfit allows easy, comfortable access to the area we are tattooing (for example: shorts for a leg tattoo, or a button-down shirt you can wear backwards for a back piece).
