To book an appointment, simply send me a brief description of your tattoo idea along with any reference images or examples you like. This helps me understand your vision and what you’re looking for.

We can discuss everything through Instagram DM or email. If your project requires more detailed planning, we can also arrange a personal consultation to go through the idea, placement and details together.

For each project, I usually create a custom design based on your idea, body placement and desired size. This allows me to create a tattoo that fits your body naturally and feels truly unique to you.

A good night’s sleep and a proper meal before your appointment will help you feel more comfortable throughout the session.

Take breaks whenever you need them. If you want to stretch, get some fresh air, or have a drink, just let me know. Your comfort always comes first.

For longer sessions, feel free to bring a snack or something sweet, such as juice, fruit or candy, to help keep your energy levels up.

Wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the area being tattooed.

Please avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medication before your appointment, as they can affect the tattooing process. If you take prescribed medication, follow your doctor’s advice.

Most importantly, don’t hesitate to communicate during the session. My goal is to make your experience relaxed, comfortable and positive.

Proper aftercare is a big part of how your tattoo will look and heal, so here’s a step-by-step guide for healing with a second skin bandage.

What is Second Skin?

Second skin is a thin, breathable, waterproof film that protects your fresh tattoo from bacteria, friction, and dirt while allowing it to heal more efficiently.

Ideally, the second skin should stay on for 3–5 days, depending on how your tattoo reacts and my personal recommendation. This film protects your tattoo during the most sensitive healing stage.

Removing the Film & Cleaning

When it’s time to remove the second skin:
1. Take off the second skin gently, or you can remove it under warm running water.
2. Wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap and water using clean hands only.
3. Pat dry with a paper towel and let it breathe for a few minutes.

⚠️ What If Something Goes Wrong?

If the film leaks, starts to lift, or fills with too much fluid, it’s best to remove it early and switch to regular aftercare.

A small amount of fluid is normal, but if it’s excessive, cloudy, or smells bad — reach out.

Allergic reactions are rare but possible — redness, rash, or itching outside the tattooed area may mean you need to remove the film immediately and follow the regular aftercare.


Tattoo Aftercare – Regular Method

(Using Wraps)

This is a different healing method I may recommend for certain cases — for example, if your tattoo is in a high-friction or uncomfortable area, or if it’s releasing a lot of plasma (lymph) during the first day.

In these situations, we use sterile pads for the first 2–3 days. Change sterile pads for a fresh one 3 times per day. Before changing, you have to wash the tattoo area with soap and clean hands only. Apply until only if the tattoo is bleeding. If the skin stays dry, there’s no need for wrapping — just apply a thin layer of cream.

As soon as the tattoo stops releasing fluid:
• Stop wrapping.
• Wash gently 1–2 times daily with fragrance-free antibacterial soap.
• Moisturize lightly with a tattoo-safe, unscented cream.
• Let it breathe — no more covering unless advised.

🚫 While Wearing the Pads, Avoid:
• Long, hot showers or soaking the area.
• Heavy sweating, gym sessions, saunas, swimming.
• Scratching, peeling.

Before booking, I’ll give you an estimated session time based on your project.

Everyone experiences tattooing differently. Some areas can feel more sensitive than others, but for most people, the sensation is manageable.

I always encourage you to communicate during the session and let me know if you need a break. Your comfort is important throughout the entire process.

Your comfort is extremely important to me. A relaxed and comfortable client makes for a smoother session and allows me to focus on creating the best possible result.

Feel free to ask for a break whenever you need one — whether you want to stretch, grab a snack, have some water or use the restroom. There’s no need to hesitate.

The studio is fully equipped to make your experience as comfortable as possible. If you prefer more privacy, we can also arrange a private space away from outside view.

Your comfort isn’t a distraction — it’s part of creating great work.

Absolutely. You’re welcome to bring your own design, reference or idea.

I can work with your design as it is, or adapt and refine it to suit your body, placement and desired size. I always aim to make sure the final tattoo looks natural on your body and feels personal to you.

If you’re not sure about the design, feel free to send me your references and we can discuss the best approach together.
