What can I do to prepare for my appointment?
Tattoo session can be long and exhausting. Please prepare ahead of time to make your experience comfortable and enjoyable.
Couple days prior to your appointment, I would recommend to prep your skin with daily moisturizer. This will help keep the skin take in the ink. I would suggest to bring entertainment of your choice. Please eat prior to your appointment. Stay hydrated. Sometime your body temperature will drop, feel free to bring in a small blanket to keep your self warm. Maintain your hygiene and and as well dress appropriately [loose comfortable clothing to prevent chafing on the tattoo].
Where is the studio location can i do walk-ins?
My studio is by appointments-only.
How long or how many session does it ___(full sleeve arm, full sleeve leg, full back, chest etc)full colour take ?
It will depend on size, complexity of design, skin type and your tolerance. Everyone is different at handling tattoo session. I will try my best to accommodate clients.
Please keep in mind that large scale tattoo will take up to 7-12+ sessions and can take about 6 month to 1 + year to complete. Please ensure you are fully committed and financially able to commit to large scale tattoos.
How painful is it?
Pain tolerance varies by individual. Tattoos will hurt regardless, however to make your session more comfortable please make sure you are in top health, have a positive mind, eat well and sleep well.
I have an appointment booked, when can I expect a sketch?
There will be two part sketch process. First will be preliminary sketch, where a quick sketch of composition and the subjects will be sent to you 2 days prior to your appointment. Once we get the foundation down, i will refine the sketch to stencil lines and have it ready on the day of your appointment. This will vary depending on the size of the project.
How do I take care of my new tattoo?
After your session I will instruct you on which method to take care of your tattoo.
How can I prevent my tattoo from fading?
Tattoo fade and age overtime but to keep it looking vibrant, avoid tanning as much as you can and moisturize as part of your daily routine and it will help keep the tattoo looking vibrant. Skin types, lifestyle, and skin care will vary to person to person.
How is your tattoo process?
i am a slower artist and prefer to work at a slower pace. I require multiple sessions depending on the sizing of the piece/complexity of the design. Skin type also factor in time. I prefer to have lining/shading done separate session than colours. This will create less trauma on the your skin which result in better healing experience.
What payment method do you take?
I only accept Cash, E-transfer and Credit Card. Full payment is due at the end of each appointment.
