Aftercare & FAQs

Can I walk in or do I need to make an appointment?

To ensure our team is able to take the time to chat to you about your designs, its best you book an appointment. You can do so via the ‘Book Your Consultation’ button at the top of the page.

I’ve got a rough idea for a tattoo, can you help?

Of course! Following your consultation, our team will take your ideas and turn them into a one-of-a-kind, hand drawn design.

What do I need to know before booking?

You must be 18 or over to have a tattoo and ID will be required on the day of your appointment.

We unfortunately cannot tattoo you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

If you have any medical conditions such as a blood borne virus etc., please make your artist aware of this during your consultation or before making your booking.

How do I take care of my tattoo afterward? (Aftercare)

Aftercare starts as soon as your tattoo is done.

Cover it up

Your artist will apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment over the tattoo and then cover the area in a bandage or plastic wrap. This covering prevents bacteria from getting into your skin. It also protects the tattoo from rubbing onto your clothes and getting irritated.

Keep the dressing on for as long as your tattoo artist recommends. It’ll help absorb any fluid or excess ink that leaks from the tattoo.

Gently wash the tattoo

After a few hours, you can remove the covering.

First wash your hands with water and soap. Then gently wash the tattoo with warm water and fragrance-free soap. Pat your skin dry with a soft cloth.

Apply a small amount of fragrance-free and alcohol-free moisturiser to the tattoo. You can keep the covering off at this point to let your skin breathe.

While your tattoo heals, you should:

• wear sun-protective clothing whenever you go outside

• call your tattoo artist or doctor if you experience any symptoms of infection or other problems

You shouldn’t:

• cover your tattoo with sunblock until it’s fully healed

• scratch or pick at the tattoo

• wear tight clothing over the tattoo

• go swimming or immerse your body in water (showers are fine)
