Quick checklist before your session
What to wear
Please wear a comfortable outfit that gives easy access to the area we’ll be working on, and ideally something you don’t mind getting a little ink on.
It’s also a good idea to bring an extra layer, especially for longer sessions, as you might get cold.
If we’re tattooing your chest, upper back or shoulder, a strapless bra is usually the easiest option. Thin, stretchy seamless underwear can also be useful for placements around the hips, stomach or upper legs, as it can be adjusted easily when needed.
If you’re unsure what to wear, just ask me and I’ll be happy to help.
References
Please prepare a Pinterest board with your reference images before your appointment so we can look through them together during our session.
Pinterest is my preferred way to work with reference images, as it keeps everything together and easy to access.
If you have any additional images saved on your phone, please have them ready so they can be saved onto my iPad.
The day of your appointment
Your studio address and arrival instructions will be confirmed separately for your session.
Please arrive on time and allow some flexibility around the end of the day.
Half-day sessions are usually around 3.5 hours, while full-day sessions can take up to 7 hours. This includes the consultation, looking through references, drawing, tattooing and breaks.
Appointments are one-to-one. You’re encouraged to bring lunch or snacks, and we can take breaks whenever needed.
Try not to book yourself up afterwards, so you have some time to rest and recover.
Payment is made at the end of each session, and the available methods will be confirmed separately.
If anything changes
If there are any updates to your health, skin, allergies or medication before your session, please let me know.
If you need to reschedule or your plans change, please get in touch as soon as possible so I can offer your slot to someone else. You can find the full cancellation and rescheduling policy in the FAQs.
Aftercare
You can read through the Aftercare page beforehand so you know what to expect and can have anything you need ready at home.
I’ll also go through everything you need to know at the end of your session.
If anything is unclear, just get in touch.
Looking forward to seeing you!
