Q: How many touch ups will I need?
A: Normally a 6-8 week touch up is provided free of charge, fine lines CAN heal beautifully without a touch up, however to ensure the quality and longevity of fineline tattoos, I always recommend taking advantage of your touch up if you can. after that, no further touch ups are required.. unless you have received a tattoo in a known fading spot such as foot, fingers (under,inside or on top), hands or other areas that are known for fall out.
Q: Is it okay if i’m pregnant or Breastfeeding?
A: I do NOT tattoo on anyone who is currently pregnant or breastfeeding. But I’ll happily take you when you’re all done!
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Everyones pain tolerance differs! I do my best to keep you comfy and at ease! wonderful thing about fineline tattoos is that they are known to be a breeze when it comes to pain. I absolutely believe in you!
Q: What does the first appointment involve?
A: At your first appointment, you will book and select the appointment size that fits the session you’re wanting based on all the info under each selection (wrong selection can cause a denial of your request if it does not match the correct session size) pro tip: always book bigger than smaller.. its much easier than to book too small & we don’t have enough time.
once approved, I reach out the week of your appointment (Mondays) with all appointment details! yayyy! this will include gathering ALL your info, details and inspiration pictures. you will also receive the exact location address & your concent form.
from there if the design requires a stencil or pre draw, I will design and customize your tattoo. If it a freehand piece, then I will just gather your inspos and then day of your session we will work together where I draw directly onto your skin & we bring your design to life. usually freehand pieces are floral work.
from there if its a design that needs to be pre drawn, you will receive the final mock up outline design & once approved you’ll be ready to go & come in for your session!
Vuala! you have the tattoo you’ve always dreamed of!
