How long will my tattoo take?
Each project for every client presents a distinct and individual challenge. Numerous variables come into play, making it difficult to predict the exact duration beforehand. Additionally, a substantial portion of the pertinent information only becomes available once the project is underway. In essence, the timeline for each endeavour is dictated by its inherent requirements.
-
Will i need a deposit?
Certainly. A deposit is mandatory for each reserved day, without any exceptions. Deposits are to be settled at the time of booking, as I do not hold appointments without them. A minimum of 72 hours' advance notice is required for appointment cancellations or rescheduling. While I am willing to consider emergency scenarios and unforeseen challenges if they are communicated genuinely and honestly, any adjustments beyond the initial two will result in forfeiture of the deposit as well. My dedication is to ensure my presence for every client, and I expect a reciprocal commitment from your end as well.

Do i need bring anything on the day?
Absolutely, there are a few essential items you should have with you:
- **Comfortable Attire**: Opt for clothing you won't mind potentially staining. Tattooing can be a rigorous process, and it's best not to worry about clothing getting marked. You're welcome to bring your own blankets and pillows if they contribute to your comfort.
- **Ample Food and Hydration**: It's crucial to bring an abundance of both food and water. Think more along the lines of substantial meals rather than just snacks. Eating regularly throughout the day, especially during breaks from tattooing, is mandatory. This practice ensures your body receives vital nutrients, prevents energy crashes, guards against illness, and contributes to the overall efficiency of the session.
- **Diet Considerations**: If you're following a specific diet, consider making the tattoo day a cheat day. Attempting to adhere to a strict diet while getting tattooed might lead to discomfort, disruption of the session, and unexpected challenges.
- **Entertainment**: Bring along sources of entertainment like a book, tablet, or headphones. You're not obligated to engage in constant conversation with me; it's essential for you to feel comfortable and find ways to pass the time.
Prioritizing your comfort, sustenance, and well-being will contribute to a smoother and more enjoyable experience during the tattooing session.

Can i bring a guest?
In brief, the answer is negative. A tattoo studio isn't a suitable environment for children.
Furthermore, it doesn't provide an enjoyable outing for friends and family. The presence of other individuals can divert attention, both for me and the rest of the establishment.
I'm a bit more flexible in cases where you're traveling from a distant location or another country. However, your friend or partner will need to find an activity to occupy their day.
While they are welcome to stay in the studio, it's important to note that it tends to become monotonous quite rapidly.

When will i see my design?
You will view your design on the actual day of the tattoo session. Flexibility or negotiation regarding this matter is not possible. Our schedule is already filled with numerous obligations, making it impractical to create multiple drafts for each family member's approval. Any required adjustments will be addressed on the tattoo day which is always best as changes can be made quicker and more efficient with us sat together.
While this approach might appear rigorous, it aligns with my most effective working method. Involving clients in the final stages of design on the tattoo day has consistently yielded positive and satisfying outcomes.
