the week before -

Stay hydrated, moisturise, avoid too much sun exposure (I will not be able to tattoo sunburnt skin)

 

The night before -

Get a good night sleep, avoid alcohol

 

The day of your tattoo -

Eat something beforehand,

 

Bring sugary snacks/drinks, and anything to distract yourself e.g. headphones/tablet/book,

 

Wear comfortable clothing (see below for suggestions for specific areas). 

​

Please do not turn up with numbing cream on unless previously discussed with me.

​

You may be asked for ID, I will only accept passport or driving license.

​

Getting to the studio - maps will take you to the other side of the building, we are facing St James' Boulevard (if you end up outside Baller 7 we are just the other side of the building, walk down the lane at the side where the bins are and turn left).

Clothing suggestions - This is just a guide, anything which gives me easy access to the area you want tattooed while keeping you comfortable will do! For more intimate areas I would also suggest bringing a (clean) blanket, I have privacy screens I can put up too.

​

Shoulders - Strapless/off the shoulder top, vest top with loose straps

Arms - short sleeve top/vest (cardigan/zip up hoodie for colder months to keep the other arm warmer.)

Chest - off the shoulder top/ vest with loose straps

Sternum/underboob - button shirt (cardigans/zip up hoodies can also be used but I find shirts are more secure to tape down)

Stomach/ribs - crop top/tshirt or jumper that can lift up

Back (top) - vest top with low back line/backless top

Back - button shirt/zip up hoodie/cardigan (all worn back to front)

Hip (towards lower stomach) - loose fitting trousers/joggers

Hip/Thigh - skirt or dress with slit, loose fitting shorts - for larger pieces that will go over the area that underwear usually covers I would recommend bikini bottoms that tie at the side.

Legs - shorts/skirt/dress 

Ankle - cropped trousers/skirt/shorts/loose fitting trousers
