When do I get to see my design?

Our artists do not send out their designs prior to the appointment. This is to avoid their artwork being copied or sold. 

If you would like, you’re welcome to come in 10 minutes early to your appointment to view the design! 
You can discuss with the artist then any alterations you may want before getting tattooed :) 

The purpose of our client interactions/emails/texts/phone calls + artist consultations is to ensure that everyone is on the same page prior to being booked in!

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY TATTOO?

We recommend that you eat a good full meal before you come in. remember to stay hydrated. If you start to feel dizzy, have a drink. Sugar is your friend in this situation.
Coming to get tattooed on an empty stomach is a recipe for passing out. 
It’s best not to party the night before because alcohol can increase bleeding for up to 24 hours.
Blood also dilutes our pigments, affecting both the appearance of your tattoo as well as the healing process. 
Remember to stay calm and cool. you’re in good hands. There’s nothing to stress over, it will be enjoyable!
