Question 2

When do I see my design if its not a chosen one from the Flash menu?

Accepted Answer

I aim to send a rough sketch over to you the same week as your appointment date. This gives us lots of time to make any changes. Feeling confident in your tattoo is a priority and you will not be rushed through the proccess. 
If you want to change the idea of your tattoo, I will need to know as soon as possible, no less than one week before your appointment to give me enough time to change it.

Question 6

How do I prepare for my tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Make sure you eat something at least an hour before your appointment. Bring snacks and drinks if your session is more than a few hours long. Full Day session have a break at lunch. 
Drink plenty of water before, during and after your tattoo. and avoid alcohol at least for 24 hours before your appointment. I won't be able to tattoo you if you are drunk (of high af!)
It's important that you avoid aspirin or ibuprofen as a pain reliver. It may make it more difficult to tattoo you if it causes you to bleed more.

Question 7

I have come down with a cold or are feeling unwell. What should i do?

Accepted Answer

If you are feeling under the weather or starting with a cold, it is best to reschedual your appointment. Getting tattooed while sick may put more of a strain on your immune sytem and make you more unwell and could make the tattoo difficult to heal.

We also ask you consider the well being of other clients and artists that maybe around you at your appointment, Increasing the risk of others becoming unwell. This can impact their schedule, also they could take home the sickness, that is then spread to family and friends.
