My books open on a set day, at a set time — most recently on 6 September 2026. That window is closed: every slot is taken. The next date will be announced on Instagram. If a slot frees up later, I pass it on in my WhatsApp group.

Honestly: a bit, yes — more or less depending on the spot. But fine line is far gentler than heavy work, and we take breaks whenever you need one. Most people say afterwards: “that was it?”

Moisturise the area well for a few days before, sleep properly, eat before you come and skip the alcohol the night before. Wear something comfortable that leaves the spot free. I’ll take care of the rest.

18 and over on your own. At 16 or 17 only if a parent comes along and signs at the studio — ID for both of you. A tattoo deserves a decision you’ll still stand behind at 80.

You go home with a proper aftercare plan from me — and for the first two weeks: no sunbeds, no sauna, no swimming pool. How you look after your skin in those weeks decides how your tattoo looks in ten years.

Skin is alive, and fine lines heal differently on everyone. If something needs a touch-up once it’s healed, we do it — just send me a photo.
