GENERAL INFO / FAQ’s

GENERAL INFORMATION

I am a vegan friendly tattooer. 

I do not tattoo anyone under 18 years of age, even if parental consent has been given. Absolutely no exceptions.

Please bring valid ID to your tattoo appointment, if you aren’t able to provide valid ID your appointment won’t go ahead.

I can’t ethically tattoo you if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.

I don’t recommend using numbing cream unless absolutely necessary due to healing complications. If you’d like to discuss the possibility of using numbing cream, please mention this to me while booking your appointment.

I only tattoo fingers, hands, necks, behind the ear and face on a case by case basis.

I don’t do large scale cover ups however I might consider it if the tattoo is small and faded enough.

❊ I do not accept every booking request. I’m only booking a few months ahead at a time, so I have to be selective with the projects I take on.

Although I can’t take on every booking request, I will get back to you. As I am a one woman show, it does take me about a month to get back to everyone who submitted a booking request. If I can take on your project, I will contact you with some possible appointment dates. If I can’t take on your project, I will do my best to recommend another artist who will do a great job. 

I specialise in mandala and geometric work, colour or black and grey. I will be prioritising booking requests with the above design elements as well as flash designs. I will still be taking on fine line tattoo requests as well as Get What You Get (GWYG) appointments however booking submissions in my style will be given priority.

  • All of my information on whether I am taking on new appointments and how to enquire about a tattoo booking is HERE!

  • My starting price for custom work (minimum charge) is $250
I charge per piece, not per hour. If you are wanting to book in for multiple small tattoos, I will provide you with a quote based on each design.

    My full day rate is $1,265 and includes an appointment lasting up to 6 hours.
A full day appointment includes a 30-minute lunch break.
    Please note: The full day price only applies to a large tattoo project, if you want multiple pieces done in a single appointment, each design will be charged by the piece.


    All of my prices include GST.

  • Yes! I require a $100 / $200 deposit to secure your booking. This amount comes off the final price of the tattoo on the day.

    Deposits are non-refundable.

  • I do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18 years old with absolutely no exception.

    Please bring valid photo ID to your tattoo appointment, if you aren’t able to provide valid ID the tattoo appointment will NOT go ahead.

  • Of course! Consultations are generally for myself as an artist if I believe the your ideas / projects would be better discussed in person. It also gives you the option to meet me before the tattoo appointment and to ask any questions you might have.

    I can also offer online consults via FaceTime or WhatsApp if you are unable to travel to the studio.

    Please note, I don’t provide consultations unless a tattoo appointment is also booked.

    If you don’t want to commit to an appointment, you can still submit a booking form and if I am interested in your project idea we can chat via email. If you do decide to book in, we can arrange a consultation from there.

  • I am currently guesting around Boorloo (Perth), WA.
    I will notify you of my location upon booking your tattoo appointment so you can plan your travel.

  • I can’t ethically tattoo you if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.

    If you have a tattoo booked with me and you’ve just found out you are pregnant, I can put the appointment on hold and reschedule after baby is born.

  • Before coming in for a tattoo appointment I always recommend getting a good night sleep.

    Eating is also very important, please make sure you have had a decent size meal before being tattooed.

    Bringing a pack of your favourite lollies and a fizzy / sugary drink to the appointment for a snack!

  • A ‘Get What You Get’ (GWYG) tattoo appointment consist of getting a SURPRISE tattoo design from a gumball machine!

    Starting price: $165

    If you are unhappy with your initial design, you can pay an extra $10 for each additional spin.

    If you pay for multiple spins, you can choose between all of your designs.

    All tattoos will be roughly palm sized.

    No changes can be made to the artwork.

    Designs are repeatable however you are able to add a pop of colour to your designs if you'd like to make it unique!

    Every design will be based on my previous work displayed on my Instagram accounts. This means, fine line florals, mandalas and dot work ect.

    Each design comes with dainty black and grey shading with white highlights.

    Placement is restricted to arms and legs only!

    These designs can’t be used as a cover up for an existing tattoo.

  • Yes please!

    Although nothing may have changed from your previous booking form, I don’t look through previous submissions as it can get confusing.

    By submitting a new booking form, you can include any new design ideas, reference images you might have found and you can update your current availability!

  • No I don’t. In order to get tattooed by me (Custom, Get What You Get, Flash or touch ups) you must have an appointment. To see what appointments I currently have available, click HERE!

  • Although this is a case by case basis as everyone’s skin is different, I am more than happy to tattoo over scars, stretch marks and birth marks.

    I do always require a free of charge consultation for projects of this nature to make sure the area is suitable to be tattooed over.

  • I don’t recommend using numbing cream unless absolutely necessary due to healing complications. If you’d like to discuss the possibility of using numbing cream, please mention this to me while booking your appointment.

  • Unless I have written permission from the original artist / you have purchased a tattoo tattoo ticket, I won’t directly copy a design.

    For example, I won’t copy artwork or an existing tattoo found on Google or Pinterest however I can use the image as inspiration and create a unique design for you!

  • I do NOT offer payment plans for tattoos. I am happy to break up the tattoo into multiple sessions if you require more saving time however this needs to be discussed prior to booking the appointment.

  • Yes, I do!
    If you would like to enquire about purchasing a gift voucher, please send me an email:

  • A flash design is a pre-drawn tattoo concept that I would like to tattoo!

    Flash designs are charged by the piece instead of at the hourly rate.

  • I only tattoo fingers, hands, necks, behind the ear and face on a case by case basis.

    Tattoos on these areas don’t heal or age well as the skin is different and thinner compared to the rest of the body. If the design is very simple, I might be able to take on your project.

    Due to the nature of the skin, I do not touch up tattoos on the above areas for free. Touch ups will be charged my minimum spend of $250.

  • I do however with the style of tattooing I specalise in, your tattoo needs to be quite small / light in order for me to do the cover up for you.

    As a cover up tattoo needs to be bigger and darker than your existing tattoo, if your tattoo is quite dark / large, I would recommend consulting the experts at SW Laser prior to getting tattooed. With a few sessions of laser, I can work with you to create the tattoo cover up of your dreams!

    If your tattoo is already quite small / light, you might not need any laser work for me to do the cover up tattoo for you.

    You can check out SW Laser’s work HERE.

  • I get to most of my admin on my ‘days off’ which are Sunday and Monday and occasionally in the evenings after my tattooing day is done.
    I tattoo Tuesday - Saturday, 10am to 6pm so if I do some admin work in the evenings, replies will come after 8pm.
    I am a one woman show so replies can be slow at times. Thank you for your patience!
