USEFUL APPOINTMENT INFORMATION

BEFORE APPOINTMENT

If you feel unwell in the lead up to your appointment PLEASE DO NOT COME IN. Let me know as soon as possible and I will happily rearrange another date with you.

Please do not consume drugs or excess alcohol the night before your appointment. Turning up to your appointment hungover, under the influence of drugs or having taken drugs the night before will most likely mean I cannot tattoo you, in which case you will lose your deposit.

If you regularly take blood-thinning medication please let me know in advance of your appointment.

Moisturising the area to be tattooed and drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment will help ensure your skin is well hydrated and in good condition, giving the best possible working space and thus the best possible tattoo!

Conversely, please avoid using fake tan on the tattoo area in the days leading up to your appointment.

Please don’t shave the area yourself before coming in, we will do this before starting the tattoo.

If you have any skin conditions (eg psoriasis, eczema etc) affecting the area being tattooed please let me know as soon as possible (ideally at the beginning of the booking process). Tattooing affected areas is never a good idea, and it's always better to wait for a time when the skin is in a healthy state - if you turn up for your appointment and I can't tattoo the skin because of a previously unmentioned condition, you will be turned away until the skin has healed and your deposit may also be forfeit.

I generally don’t recommend using numbing cream, as in some cases this can affect the tattooing process - there can be odd occasions where it is useful however please consult with me before using any numbing cream - if you show up to your appointment with it without letting me know beforehand you may be turned away and your deposit forfeit.
