POLICIES
Deposits, Reschedules, Lateness, No-show Policy
A deposit of $50 is required to make a booking. This is in the form of a bank transfer (alternate payment can be organised if needed). The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. Designs are not secured or started until a deposit is paid.
If you need to reschedule please do so 48 hours before the booking. Please note that one reschedule (within good reason) is allowed, but in the case of a second reschedule, another $50 deposit will need to be paid to rebook (with the first deposit being forfeited).
If you find yourself coming late, please contact me to let me know approximately by how long. Anymore time than 15 mins without notice will be viewed as a no-show and another deposit will need to be paid.
Design Policy
If you have a specific vision for the piece, please do your best to explain your vision to me. It helps to imagine the design as a whole and go through each element one by one.
Generally, it is important that you understand clearly what you want to book with me to avoid too many changes. Changes in the final stages of the design process, that differ significantly from what was initially discussed (such as change of drawing style, changes in subject matter, large changes in composition, changes in flow and movement etc.), will incur additional fees. If written explanation is not your strong suit, please don't hesitate to book in a free consultation to talk to me in-person.
TATTOO AFTERCARE
Keep the second skin on the tattoo for 3-4 days (unless you experience irritation from it)
- In the case of irritation: remove the film and keep area clean with water and gentle soap
- You can cling wrap the area if the tattoo hasn't dried out yet; to avoid staining bed sheets and clothing (cling wrap is changed everyday when you shower)
After taking off the second skin, apply a tattoo ointment 2-3 times a day (or whenever it looks dry)
- Recommended ointment: Bepanthen Tattoo cream or Vaseline
No working out and excessive sweating while the second skin is on
No swimming or bathing (any activity involving the area being submerged for long periods of time) for 3-4 weeks
No alcohol for the first 48 hours
Try to not pick at the tattoo
It is normal for plasma and excess ink to leak from the skin, if this is happening under the second skin: leave it alone, let it dry up underneath and clean it off once the second skin comes off (with water and gentle soap)
If you feel it needs a touch up after the tattoo is fully healed (generally 4 weeks) let me know.
For the longevity of the tattoo, it would be best to get into the habit of moisturising and applying sunscreen daily
- Prolonged sun exposure and damage is the biggest contributor to tattoo fading and blurring over time
And if you do, please send me any healed photo you take!
If there are any further questions/concerns, don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you!
