The level of pain experienced can vary depending on the person's pain tolerance and the location of the tattoo. If you are nervous, please tell your tattoo artist as we will always do our best to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

It is down to artists preference on whether they allow the use of numbing cream. If you wish to use numbing cream, please contact us before doing so.

Our artists may send over a design prior to your appointment if they deem necessary. Generally, you will see your design on the day of your appointment and any minor alterations can be made then, if needed.

It is entirely dependent on the person, but generally, on average, it will take 2 weeks for the initial shed but up to 4 weeks for the shininess and the dryness to disappear. We request that you stay out of the sun/don't use sunbeds and avoid hot tubs/swimming pools, etc. until you're fully healed as this could damage the tattoo.

Please keep your tattoo clean and moisturised using a thin layer of unscented cream or balm and always wash your hands before touching it. Avoid soaking, sun exposure, scratching, tight or abrasive clothing, and anything that may irritate the area while healing. After your session, your artist will take you through the full aftercare procedure to ensure your tattoo heals as well as possible.
