FAQ’s

This is a myth and could not be further from the truth. I'm sure there are tattooers claiming this, I however think it is nonsense. It absolutely does not matter what your skin tone is, there is always the right tattoo and technique for you. Needless to say, different types of shading and contrast look different, depending on the background being a light beige or a beautiful dark brown. But that's all, they look different and not better or worse. After all, Tattooing comes from the continent of Africa, it belongs to the indigenous people of this world for thousands of years, and a westerner like me is only appreciating and loving it, and trying to honour it as much as I can. 

That is a hard no I'm afraid. Under 18s are not allowed to get tattooed, by law as well as my moral compass. That also applies if you have consent from a parent, or a parent wants to accompany you. It is required by law that a form of ID, whether that's your passport or drivers license, is brought to the appointment. 

Yes of course I do, and I love to! The only condition for this is that you need to provide me with really great quality photographs of whomever you'd like your tattoo to be of. Most photos taken by phone are badly lit, wrong angles and almost never 100% sharp. For the stencil to be perfect, the photo needs to be perfect.

Well please do! That's why I use this technique, because it is very easy to make changes and adjustments. As much as a love my artistic freedom, the most important person in this project is you! And my goal is to have you walk out with a huge smile. So please don't hold back, and share your thoughts. It's a collaboration!

I go through phases of obsessing over certain topics, like birds or Peonies etc in the past. But I love it all, as long as it is doable in my style. I really like stepping out of my comfort zone sometimes, so if you're unsure if your tattoo idea is up my alley, please do send it and if I can, I'll be happy to help! 

 You will get an email consultation once I have received your booking form. I don't offer face to face consultations 

The fact that you're wondering about this, is the first sign that you need a tattoo. Take it from someone who's very much on the curvy side of life, and had the same insecurities about this, as well as comments from people when I was younger. If your curves and shapes aren't there to be tattooed, then I don't know what is. You have the right to adorn and mark your body however you please! Whether you want it to help you love your body more, or just for fun, or to tell this body shaming world to politely F off. Do it, enjoy it, don't think about it twice. 

P.S.: yes you can tattoo over stretch marks, no problem. No matter how deep x 

No matter the length of your appointment, definitely wear something comfortable and stretchy. 
Bring some snacks for yourself that contain carbs, and sugar. If you're coming for a full or entire day session, make sure you pack a lunch, like a sandwich and more snacks. The drink you bring to sip from all day should have actual sugar, so no Diet coke or sports drinks please. 
If the tattoo will be on your upper thigh or bum/bikini area, please pack a loose pair of shorts. 
I also recommend a pair of warm socks and a hoody, as most people start feeling cold once in pain for while. 
You do not need to bring any of your aftercare products to your appointment.

 I require a £100 deposit to secure your booking. This will be deducted from your final price after the tattoo is done, or after the last session if what you're getting is a multisession piece. 
For all tattoo pricing pelase head to the Tattoos section on this website, where my pricing is explained in more detail .

All high quality tattoo ink, especially black ink, has zero animal products and is not ever tested on animals. Other than that I use products on the skin like alcohol for cleaning, Vaseline (petroleum jelly),  witch hazel spray (anti inflammatory) 

Please do! I am super easy, as long as what you do doesn't interfere with the tattooing, and doesn't distract me. If you for example bring you iPad and want to watch a show or movie, just make sure you bring headphones and don't watch anything too funny, so you can sit still :) you can read your book, listen to your own music or mine, we can chat or be silent. Whatever works for you! Sometimes there will be moments when I have to hyper focus and not talk, but I will let you know when this is the case. Same accounts for you, if you feel better being quiet and relaxing please just let me know and I promise I will never be offended. 

In 90% of cases, no. I will always do my best to only have to expose the area of your skin that is being tattooed. However, when a tattoo is done on the buttock area, around the breasts/chest, upper thigh/bikini area, or your back, there is no way around having to undress that part. I will advice you on what type of clothes to wear or bring in order to feel comfortable, and the studio is very private and never busy and full of people. 

Very sadly it doesn't. My work place requires you to go up one flight of stairs.
I searched for over a year, and couldn't find a place available that did. My apologies for this. If you need disabled access, you can still book your tattoo with me. I need to know in advance, and will book your appointment at a ground floor, accessible studio I'm friends with. 

I sure do! I have an entire section on my coverup work, which you can find here

My customers come from all over the world, and I love it! I speak English, Spanish, German and Russian. For anything else, we have Google translate! Don't worry and don't be shy, send your email in whatever way is comfortable for you, and we'll find a way to understand eachother.
