Aftercare:
Your tattoo will be wrapped when you leave the studio
1. Leave the wrap on for around 1-3 hours
2. Remove the wrap and give your new tattoo a hot soapy wash (Recommendation: Protex Soap)
3. Pat the tattoo dry with a clean cloth, leave the tattoo to air dry for around 30 minutes before applying cream.
4. Apply a very THIN layer of healing aid cream, gently massaging it into the area. (Note: if you can see the colour of cream on your tattoo, it’s too much)
5. Repeat steps 2-4, 2-3 times for at least the first 4 days, reduce the routine to once or twice per day depending on the size of your tattoo for the next 3/4 days. (If it looks as though it needs to be washed, wash it)
Do not swim/spa or submerge in water for long periods or time for at least 8-16 days (depending on the individual healing process of your tattoo)
Do not allow your new tattoo to get sunburnt.
Do not fake tan over your new tattoo.
These guide lines are my personal recommendations, and will vary slightly depending on the type of tattoo and your body.

HEALED TATTOO CARE
Oils/moisturisers and sun screen are a must on HEALED tattoos to keep them looking fresh and vibrant for longer!
Appointment Preparations:
SKIN
To ensure my canvas is tattoo ready and your skin is smooth and hydrated, please LIGHTLY exfoliate in the shower and keep moisturised for around a week before your appointment.
Please don’t apply moisturiser OR have fake tan on your skin on the day of your appointment.
You’re not required to shave the area prior, as I can easily sort that for you when you come in.

MIND
A calm, fresh and prepared mind set is very important.
I recommend you come into your appointment expecting the worst, as each body part feels totally different and its best not to underestimate your session!

BODY
Physically your body will need the hydration and energy it requires to deal with trauma to the skin.
I recommend you have a healthy breakfast, get plenty of sleep the night before and bring a water bottle in with you!
It’s also not a bad idea to bring snacks/sweets to your appointment, just in case you need an energy boost.

On The Day:
You are required to fill out a consent form when you arrive, if you’re under 18 you will need a parent or guardian to sign the required section.
1. Design discussion, if drawn prior. (Florals ect. may be done freehand on the day)
2. Sizing and placement discussion
3. Stencil application
4. Tattoo time
- Please check emails/messages the morning of your appointment in case of any unforeseen delays/changes to my schedule!
- Please do not arrive extra early, the short time slot I allow between my appointments is very much needed. This time is used to clean up, prepare myself for your appointment and re-energise with a quick snack! As much as I appreciate the enthusiasm to be extra prepared, being in the studio bang on your scheduled time is more convenient for both of us! Thank you for understanding.
NOTE: Please remember to be patient, I do my absolute best to estimate session times.
As I always aim for a high work standard, sometimes there may be slight delays to my schedule due to the difficulties of putting an exact time frame on creating a piece of art. (If you’re on a tight schedule yourself, let me know prior so I can keep that in mind)
