F A Q s

how do i book?

please fill out my booking form - i’m currently booking brighton, but planning other uk guest spots soon

do i have to be over 18?

yes, you must be over 18 to get a tattoo - tattooing a minor is illegal in the UK and Australia, even with parental consent. come back and see me when you’re 18!

can i get a different artist to tattoo your work?

no, sorry! i don't sell my designs or give permission for any other artist to tattoo them. my work is very personal to me and any design translated through another artist's lens will always turn out different. it separates the art from the artist and it feels uncomfortable and unauthentic to have tattoos out there that are recognisable as my work, but they are not made by me… i hope you understand. i plan to travel more in 2026 and beyond!

will you tattoo this artist’s work on me?

i will tattoo another visual artist’s work (not another tattooer) on a case by case, as long as you have the artist’s written permission, and if it’s an art style that aligns with my style. i prefer to tattoo my own work, so if the piece is not in my wheelhouse i will try to recommend another tattooer who fits the vibe.

i really like this tattoo you did, can i get the same one?

no - not unless the tattoo is on your bestie and they consent to having a matching one with you. i don’t repeat designs (with some exceptions - for example on flash days). if a design has been taken i am happy to do a variation so that you have a unique piece.

what will it cost?

pricing will depend on the complexity of the design and the size and placement on the body - my minimum booking is £100, and most of my designs range from £150-£350. i’m happy to work within your budget and most flash pieces can be customised for you! for more info check out my pricing

what can i do before the tattoo to prepare?

you can do a few things for your body to make sure your tattooing experience goes as smoothly as possible:
• get a good night’s sleep
• be well fed and hydrated
• avoid excess caffeine / stick to your usual amount
• avoid being hungover as this thins the blood and makes tattooing more difficult
• wear comfortable clothing that provides access to the area of the tattoo
• let me know if you have any allergies to latex or ingredients commonly found in inks or moisturisers

can i get a colour tattoo on dark skin tones?

yes!! colour tattoos can feel very inaccessible for clients with dark skin tones, but please don’t feel like you’re unable to get the tattoos that you want. i’m happy to offer colour tests (free for people of colour) to find out what heals well on your skin. we can do small intentional designs such as rainbows / coloured flowers etc, so that you don’t have to get a tattoo of coloured dots that you might not want. i am doing my best to continually educate myself on best practices for tattooing dark skin, and i’d love to work with you to pick the best colours and make a really beautiful tattoo for you.

can i get a tattoo over scarring?

yes! i offer tattooing over scarring and over top surgery scars. the scar needs to be at least 12 months old. the older and flatter the scar, the better the results usually are. sometimes ink doesn’t take as well over areas of scarring, so touch ups may be needed, and results can be more unpredictable.
