How long will my tattoo take?Well that depends, Obviously the most important part of any tattoo is that its done well and in a clean and safe manner. That being said, every tattoo varies in time because everyone is different, different levels of detail in designs, different pain tolerance levels, different skin types, etc. These make a difference to me and a big difference in time. So please be patient and understand I want to do the best tattoo possible, with no restrictions with time.

Will my tattoo Fade? What do i do if that happens?Yes, it's a simple truth that all tattoos will fade..... With time. That being said, it shouldn't fade quickly, but it is not uncommon to see small sections heal lighter or some lines possibly "fall out", this is likely a factor of the tattooing process or poor aftercare, including sweating, going into the sun, going into unclean water, getting an infection on the tattoo and just an overall bad aftercare practices. If you notice that some of the tattoo isn't as dark or didn't hold up as well as we wanted thats total normal and not a problem at all. Just contact me and ill book you in for a complimentary aftercare appointment. I want to make sure you're happy a proud to wear your new tattoo, so don't hesitate to let me know if you have any concerns regarding your tattoo.

Why is the second skin wrap looking blurry and filled with liquid or bloodDONT WORRY! this is totally normal, a bubble of ink and plasma pooling under the second skin is just another typical factor of tattoo aftercare. If you notice it begins to leak or it's way our of contol feel free to contact me and i'd be happy to change out the wrap for you. But don't panic the tattoo is as crispy clean as you remember underneath all that liquid. So when the wrap does finally come off 4-8 days later it's important to do it in a clean environment, washing the tattoo gently with soap and water before dabbing dry and applying further aftercare. If you visit my Aftercare page it will go over this in more detail.

What can i drink or take medicine before my appointment?It's important to realize that you will be bleeding during this appointment, not a lot but small amounts. Any sort of blood thinning substances will affect my ability to tattoo you as well as your bodies ability to heal correctly. So i ask that you ask me before taking anything for pain before the appointment and please let me know if you take any prescribed blood thinners. It's also unwise to have a "big night out" drinking the day before your tattoo appointment, not only will you feel terrible getting a tattoo hungover, your body will also still be in a vulnerable state to effectively tattoo.

I don't love my tattoo, what can i do?Well this is awkward.... jk. I'm sorry you don't love your tattoo as much as we hoped. Some key factors that can effect the look of the tattoo in the beginning is the redness and darkness, both of which will fade leaving you with a lighter smooth tattoo. If once it's healed you're still not sold, we can always discuss adding to the design to fix whatever small design flaws you may see in it making it even better than you imagined. At the end of the day, I do everything in my power to make sure the tattoo provided is the best it can be, but in the end the important thing to realize is that tattoos are permanent, so please be sure that the design you agree to is exactly what you want, "the tattoo will look like the designed image".

How much am I supposed to tip?Industry standard fluctuates between 10-20%. I'm a firm believer that a tip is earned and should not be expected, so please don't feel pressured into providing a tip if it's not what you want to do. However, any tip is greatly appreciated.
