Tattoo FAQ's
If you’re new to tattoos, or just curious about how I work, you might have a few questions. Here are some of the most common things clients ask me — and if there’s anything else you’d like to know, just get in touch.
How does the tattoo process work?
We start with a consultation (via email) to chat about your ideas, placement, size, and style.
How much will my tattoo cost?
The cost depends on the size, placement, and level of detail. I’ll give you a clear price once we’ve discussed your design, before you book your appointment — so you’ll always know what to expect.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes — a deposit is required to secure your booking. This goes towards the cost of your tattoo and ensures your appointment time is held just for you. Deposits are non-refundable but can usually be transferred if you need to reschedule with enough notice.
Will I get information before my appointment?
Yes — you’ll receive pre-tattoo information once your booking is confirmed, with tips on how to prepare (such as skin care, what to eat and drink, and what to avoid).
When will I see the design?
You’ll receive your design a few days before your appointment, giving you time to review and approve everything.
What happens on the day?
When you arrive, I’ll prepare your stencil, make sure you’re comfortable, and we’ll go step by step at your pace. We can take breaks whenever you need, and you’re welcome to have snacks or drinks during the session to keep your energy up and make the experience as relaxed as possible.
What about hygiene?
Your safety is my top priority. I use sterile, single-use needles and equipment for every client. All surfaces are disinfected before and after each session, and gloves/protective coverings are used throughout. I’m also registered with Stockport Council and fully compliant with health and safety regulations.
Do you give aftercare advice?
Yes — you’ll leave with clear aftercare instructions to help your tattoo heal beautifully.
