Yes it hurts, however it is a manageable pain and it is different for everyone. I would say it's uncomfortable rather than unbearable, and you adjust to it quickly.
To help with this we can take breaks when and as you need, we go at your pace.
If you are worried about a longer session, let me know and we can split them up into sessions you feel more comfortable with. -
It is normal to be nervous, regardless of if it's your first tattoo or fifth. I will walk you through every step, you can take your time choosing placement, design, colours, anything you need. I like to say getting a tattoo is teamwork, we work together to make the best tattoo for you.

Let it heal.
A new tattoo is an open wound. How you treat it in the first few days determines how it looks for the rest of your life. Get it right and it'll stay sharp for decades.
- Leave the wrap on for as long as specified
- When removing, wash gently with unscented soap and warm water
- Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Don't rub.
- Apply a thin layer of Palmer's Cocoa Butter. Highly recommended.
- Moisturise 2–3× daily with Palmer's Cocoa Butter
- Don't scratch, pick, or peel. Let it flake naturally.
- Keep it out of direct sunlight while healing
- No baths, pools, or sea water for at least 3 weeks
- SPF 30+ on healed tattoos whenever you're in the sun
- Keep skin moisturised. Dry skin dulls the contrast.
- Sunbeds and UV degrade ink faster than anything else
- First touch-up is free. Get in touch when fully healed.
If you're ever unsure about how your tattoo is healing, message me directly. Don't wait, it's always better to ask early. Reach me on WhatsApp.
