My minimum setup fee is $150
My hourly rate is $200/hr for work that is hand-sized and larger.
For smaller pieces I’ll usually quote a flat rate depending on size, placement and detail.
Half day = $600
Full day = $1200
Please note these prices not only cover the cost of materials and time getting tattooed, but also the time I spent drawing designs, as well as my skills and experience.

Keep the area you want tattooed nice and moisturised in the weeks leading up to your appointment. That way your skin will be nice and easy to tattoo. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep the day before and have a big breakfast the day of. Bring a water bottle and some chewing gum or lollies if you’re worried about the pain. You’re more than welcome to bring headphones or a book if you need a distraction. Wear loose fitting, comfy clothes that you don’t mind getting ink on (just incase lmao)

Once you’ve paid a deposit and are booked in, I will start your design. It’s important that you send any and all reference photos in your booking form so I have a good idea of what you want. Designs will be shown the day of your appointment when you come in. Any small tweaks and changes can be made then. You can change your mind on the design once you’re booked, but I need as much notice as possible.

When you get home, gently rinse your tattoo under lukewarm soapy water. This will wash off any excess blood and ink. Pat dry and apply a small amount of aftercare cream.
Use cream sparingly. Once a day for the first 3-4 days then let it scab for a few days, then once a day as the scab flakes off.
Your tattoo will get flaky and itchy around day 3-5. No Scratching! Don’t panic when the scab comes off, this is completely normal!
Have short, cool showers for the next 10 days. This will help the ink heal in properly.
No baths or swimming for the next 4 weeks
Keep your tattoo out of the sun, especially during Summer!! (!!!) (for emphasis!!!)
I offer free touch ups with all of my tattoos once they’ve healed. To book a touch up appointment just flick me an email :)
