Frequently Asked Question about Tattooing:
Does getting a tattoo hurt and how painful is it?
Most clients feel some discomfort during a tattoo session, but the level of pain depends on the area of the body and individual pain sensitivity. Places with thinner skin (e.g., ankles, wrists) are usually more sensitive, while fleshier areas (e.g., arms, thighs) tend to be less painful. Our skilled artist will do their best to keep you at ease.
How should I prepare for a tattoo appointment at your studio?
To prepare for your session, ensure you're well-rested, have eaten beforehand, and are properly hydrated. Avoid excessive alcohol and blood-thinning medications the night before to ensure the best possible results. Wearing comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed is a good idea. Most importantly, have a good night ensure the best tattoo results and a pleasant experience.
What is the proper tattoo aftercare to ensure the best healing?
Proper aftercare is essential to ensuring your tattoo heals correctly and maintains its colour and detail. Keep the area clean with fragrance-free soap, apply the recommended ointment, and avoid swimming pools, sun exposure, and scratching during the healing process. You will receive full aftercare instructions following the session. Do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or concerns.
How long does a tattoo take to heal completely?
The outer layer of the skin typically heals within 1-2 weeks, but full internal healing takes around 3-6 weeks. During this time, your tattoo may peel or itch which is normal. To maintain long-term vibrancy over and vitality, keep your tattoo moisturised and always protect it from sun with high SPF.
How much does a tattoo cost at your studio?
Tattoo prices vary depending on size, placement, complexity, and the time needed to complete the design. We provide accurate quotes during consultations and other basic visual print projects and hourly rates. A deposit is required to secure your booking and is deducted from the final cost.
