BOOKING PROCESS & POLICY

To book a consultation, you can either do so by calling, dropping by at the shop or by email.

If you decided to book for a tattoo, you will require to pay a deposit to secure your appointment. The deposit will be deducted to your final bill.The appointment can only be made in person at the shop. (You cannot book appointments over the phone due to the complexity of every tattoo)

You can pay the deposit by coming in to the shop.

DEPOSIT is NON-REFUNDABLE

Please call the shop or talk to your artist  at least 24hrs before your appointment to avoid the loss of your deposit.

Your deposit will be forfeited for the time and effort the artist has already committed to the project.

AFTERCARE

Aftercare starts as soon as your tattoo is done. The artist should apply a thin layer of petroleum ointment over the tattoo, and then cover the area in a bandage or plastic wrap. This covering prevents bacteria from getting into your skin. It also protects the tattoo from rubbing on your clothes and getting irritated.

Keep the dressing on for a few hours. It will help absorb any fluid or excess ink that leaks from the tattoo.

After a few hours, you can remove the bandage. Wash your hands first with lukewarm water and soap. Then gently wash the tattoo with fragrance-free soap and water.

Pat your skin dry with a soft cloth. Apply a small amount of petroleum ointment to the tattoo. You can keep the bandage off at this point to let your skin breathe.

While your tattoo heals, you should wear sun-protective clothing whenever you go outside-cover your tattoo with sunblock until it’s fully healed

Don’t scratch or pick at the tattoo. Don’t wear tight clothing over the tattoo

Don’t go swimming or immerse your body in water (showers are fine)

contact a physician at first sign of infection

Cleaning Solutions

Packaged sterile saline (with no additives, read the label) is a gentle choice for piercing aftercare. If sterile saline is not available in your region a sea salt solution mixture can be  a viable alternative. Dissolve 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon (.75 to 1.42 grams) of non-iodized (iodine-free) sea salt into one cup (8 oz / 250 ml) of warm distilled or bottled water. A stronger mixture is not better; a saline solution that is too strong can irritate the piercing.

Cleaning Instructions for Body Piercings

WASH your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason.

SALINE rinse as needed during healing. For certain placements it may be easier to apply using clean gauze saturated with saline solution. A brief rinse afterward will remove any residue. If your piercer suggests using soap, gently lather around the piercing and rinse as needed. Avoid using harsh soaps, or soaps with dyes, fragrances, or triclosan.

RINSE thoroughly to remove all traces of the soap from the piercing. It is not necessary to rotate the jewelry through the piercing.

DRY by gently patting with clean, disposable paper products because cloth towels can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry, causing injury.
