Some areas may be refused due to skin integrity, healing concerns, or ethical considerations. Final decisions are at the artist’s discretion. We do not tattoo faces or genitals.

We do not apply numbing agents.

If you choose to use a topical numbing product, please apply it yourself before arriving and inform your artist.

Initial healing takes approximately 1–2 weeks, with complete skin regeneration occurring over 4–6 weeks. Healing times vary depending on placement, aftercare, and individual factors.

We will provide personalised aftercare instructions at the end of your session. Generally, this includes keeping the area clean, using recommended moisturisers, avoiding sun exposure, and refraining from swimming, picking, or scratching.
