HOW TO BOOK/GET A QUOTE
To get a quote or make a booking please do one of the following
Come into the studio for a chat
This is the easiest/fastest way to get a quote and make a booking. We can discuss the design, give you a quote and if you are ready to go ahead we can make a booking. I would highly recommend calling or messaging the studio (0434 255 669) to check I'm available before heading in as my working days and times vary week to week.
Email me and include all of the following
- Name
- Contact number - only used to send reminders once a booking is made
- Description of design
- The size in centimetres
- Body placement
- Any reference pictures
- A picture of the area being tattooed is also handy
Fill out my quote form
Linked under quotes and bookings is my quote form. All you need to do is input the info and click submit. This will go to my email and my response will be via email.
PRICING
I work at a fast pace therefore I quote all jobs based on the size and complexity of the design, NOT by an hourly rate. Hourly rates only apply when the design will take multiple sessions to complete.
When I quote I take into consideration
- Design research time
- Drawing time
- Tattoo time
- Supplies
- Set up/Clean up time
- GST is included in the quote
*Quotes are only my best estimate and can vary slightly.
Once we have discussed your idea fully I can give an estimated price.
DEPOSIT & PAYMENT
You will need to put down a non refundable deposit if you'd like to go ahead and make a booking.
The amount required as a deposit is based on the size of the tattoo, either $50, $100 or $200. A booking will only be confirmed once a deposit is paid.
Deposits are non-refundable.
Deposit will be lost if a booking is cancelled/rescheduled with less than 48 hours notice or if you no show to the appointment.
Your deposit will come off the price on the day of completion of your tattoo.
Payment must be made in full, in cash or by bank transfer, on the day of your booking. No exceptions.
RESCHEDULING OR CANCELLING
You are able to reschedule your booking up to two times from the original booking date. To reschedule please contact me and we will find a new booking time. However you must give more than 48 hours notice to reschedule. Less than 48 hours notice will result in loss of deposit. Not showing up to an appointment will result in loss of deposit. If for some reason you want to cancel altogether that's ok, but please keep in mind your deposit is non-refundable.
DESIGNS
During the booking process I will chat to you about the design idea and look at any reference pictures you have, I will then draw the design for you based on those notes. In the drawing process if I have any additional questions about the design I will reach out. If you have any changes of mind about the design idea/placement etc please contact me to let me know asap. I will have your design ready on the day of your appointment. I cannot not send out designs prior to your appointment. I only draw designs for clients with a booking. I can only give you my version of the design you're after, I will not copy another design.
DESIGN CHANGES
If after you make a booking you have a change of mind about anything we've previously discussed about your design, please let me know asap. For example if the body placement, size or design details change.If the changes will make a difference to the price I will let you know. If the changes are major or it's to a completely new design we might need to start the entire booking process over again. I cannot accept complete design changes within 48 hours of your booking as the drawing process would've already began. This will result in loss of deposit and a new deposit is required for the new design.

ON THE DAY OF YOUR BOOKING
- Please try to arrive 5-10 mins early to fill out the consent form
- Bring valid photo ID
- Wear comfy clothing that will allow access to the area being tattooed and that you wouldn't mind if ink gets on it
- Feel free to bring a drink/snack
- No Alcohol before
- Do not put any creams of any kind on your skin on the day of the booking including numbing cream.
- I will not tattoo the area if numbing cream has been used.
SKIN PREP
- Keep out of the sun, sun damaged skin can't be tattooed. If your skin is sunburnt or has been recently sunburnt (within the last 2 weeks or so) the appointment will be cancelled.
- Moisturise daily in the lead up (just not the day of the booking)
- Exfoliate to remove any dry/dead skin
- Fake tan must be removed before coming to your appointment
AFTERCARE
**This is just a recommendation based on what works for most clients. This is not professional medical advice.
- Keep wrapping on for 1-2 hours
- Unwrap and wash with warm soapy water to remove any blood/plasma
- Wash again a few times throughout the day and again then next morning
- Apply a thin layer of Bepanthen Antiseptic cream 1-2 times per day starting the day after getting the tattoo until healed
- The tattoo will form a thin layer and begin to peel, do not pick at this, let it fall away in its own time
- While the tattoo is healing do not pick, scratch, go swimming, apply any other creams or things like fake tan. Keep out of the sun.
- Once the tattoo is healed (roughly 2 weeks) apply moisturiser daily and sunscreen when needed.
- If a touch up is required let me know 4 weeks after it was done, even though it is healed after 2 weeks it takes about 4 weeks to properly settle in
