FAQs

HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST

Tattoo pricing depends on several factors — size, placement, detail, and the artist’s hourly rate. Small pieces may start from $150–$200, while larger custom work is often charged by the hour, or a set day rate. We’re happy to provide a quote during your consultation.

DO I NEED TO BOOK A CONSULTATION

Yes — a consultation allows us to understand your vision, discuss placement, and prepare your design. For flash tattoos or simpler pieces, we may be able to book you directly.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY TATTOO APPOINTMENT

Make sure you’re well-rested, hydrated, and have eaten before your session. Avoid alcohol, drugs, or blood thinners (like aspirin) 24 hours prior. Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the tattoo area.

DOES IT HURT

Yes — but the level of discomfort varies depending on the location, your pain tolerance, and the tattoo itself. Most clients describe it as more irritating than painful. We’ll ensure you’re as comfortable as possible throughout.

CAN I USE NUMBING CREAM

We prefer to discuss this during your consultation. Some numbing creams can affect how the skin takes ink, so it's best to use only what we recommend or apply it under our guidance.

HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY TATTOO AFTERWARDS

You’ll be given detailed aftercare instructions at the end of your session. Proper care is crucial for healing and preserving your tattoo’s appearance. We offer both standard aftercare and second skin options. You can also view aftercare instructions here.

CAN I BRING A FRIEND OR SUPPORT PERSON

You’re welcome to bring one support person, but due to studio hygiene and space limitations, we ask that additional guests remain outside during the session unless arranged in advance.

HOW OLD DO I NEED TO BE TO GET TATTOOED

You must be 18 years or older — no exceptions, even with parental consent, as required by Australian law.

DO YOU OFFER FINGER AND HAND TATTOOS

Yes, we tattoo fingers, hands, feet and ankles; however, these areas are known to heal less predictably than other parts of the body. Fading and ink loss are common, even within weeks of being tattooed. Touch-ups for these areas incur a $50 setup fee.

DO YOU OFFER TOUCH UPS

Yes — we offer one complimentary touch-up within a set timeframe (typically within 3 months) for tattoos completed in our studio. Touch ups beyond that may incur additional cost - be sure to check with your artist for specifics.

See our Touch up Policy below

CAN YOU TATTOO OVER SCARS, STRETCH MARKS OR EXISTING TATTOOS

In many cases, yes — though it depends on the condition and location of the skin. We’ll assess this during your consultation and discuss the best approach for your design and goals.

DO YOU OFFER INK PAY OR AFTERPAY OPTIONS

At this point in time - we do not offer any Afterpay options. Please be sure to check back in at a later date.

DO YOU SELL GIFT VOUCHERS

Yes — Our gift vouchers are available for purchase in store, and are valid for 3 years from the date of purchase, at the value of your choice. Prefer a digital copy? Just get in touch — we’ll arrange one for you quickly and easily.
