Question 4

How long do back pieces take?

Accepted Answer

This is a tricky one, as it depends on the size (does the design include your neck/hips/bottom?)
If there’s lots of small details or shading, or is it quite simple? 
On average back pieces take 2-3 sessions, depending on the clients pain threshold. But if the design you want has lots of detail/shading/larger areas, then it may take longer x

Question 6

Numbing cream?

Accepted Answer

I’m not the biggest fan of numbing cream, however I do believe if you need it, as without the tattoo will be un-bearable to sit through, then 100% go for it. My only condition is that you use Emla cream, which you can buy from any pharmacy or online pharmacists. I believe this is the safest numbing cream, as it’s has the most EU regulated testing. A lot of other online numbing creams are shown to cause unnecessary harmful reactions to the skin

Question 7

What happens to the deposit if you have multiple sessions?

Accepted Answer

The deposit will be carried across to each next session, it’ll be taken off the final amount of the last session.

Unless you need to use the deposit, in which case, a new deposit will be required a minimum of 1 month before your next appointment x

Question 8

Can I do coverups?

Accepted Answer

This is a tricky one, as my style relies a lot on skin gaps, therefore, big coverups can be difficult with my style of work. If it’s a small cover-up, then the chances are we can definitely do it x

That being said, if you have a medium to large tattoo that you require covering, And you would like the heavier ornamental/blackout style tattooing, then this is also doable!

The best thing to advise is, to send me a picture of the tattoo you would like to cover & a description or an image of the kind of thing you would love to cover it with & I can tell you if it’s doable or not x

Standard Hourly Rate	£100.00
Full day 5 hours and above is a full day	£500.00
Extended Session Fee (After 5pm) Per hour	£75.00
Minimum charge (for small tattoos)	£90.00
