info
how to book
Fill out the form under the ‘book/enquire’ link on my website—it’ll ask for a description of the tattoo you’d like, your availability and your contact details. I’ll then get back to you via email with a quote, an available booking slot and the deposit info for you to confirm the booking.
flash
All of my flash designs are repeatable up to a few times each. You can see which designs are available on the flash page of this site or in my Instagram story highlight (a red dot means the design is retired/unavailable). My flash designs can be done in a range of sizes.
customs
I enjoy custom work, but only accept requests that are within my general style and suited to my skillset. For customs, I’ll show you some design options at the beginning of your tattoo appointment and there will be time to alter the drawings before we begin tattooing. We can arrange an in-person consultation to discuss your idea before confirming a booking too if you’d like.
deposit
I require a $60 deposit on flash bookings and a $100 deposit for customs, to allow for research and drawing time. The deposit comes off the final payment on the day and is non-refundable. If you reschedule with at least 48 hours notice, your deposit can transfer to the new booking. If you give shorter notice, or reschedule more than once, I’ll require a new deposit.
pricing
Pricing varies depending on the size/complexity of the tattoo and how long it will take. When responding to your booking request I’ll quote a price—often I’ll give a price range and the final cost will depend on how long the tattoo takes on the day. Customs cost more to account for research and drawing time. Most of my simpler flash start at around $140NZD, and my minimum for customs is usually $200NZD.

Deposits are paid via bank transfer, and the remaining payment is made on the day with bank transfer or cash. If needed, we can arrange a PayPal transfer.

preparing for your tattoo
- Please don’t drink alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment
- Make sure you’ve had something to eat and drink beforehand
- Bring a drink and a snack with you if you’d like
- Wear something comfy that can easily expose the area you want to be tattooed
- You can ask for breaks whenever needed
- Feel free to bring a support person with you
aftercare
- Leave your tattoo wrapped for 2-3 hours, then gently wash with lukewarm water and carefully pat dry with a clean paper towel
- Don’t pick, scratch or scrub your tattoo at all during healing
- Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight for three weeks
- Don’t go swimming or have a bath/spa for three weeks (showering is fine but avoid soaking the tattoo)
- Once or twice a day give it a very light wash with warm water, you can use unscented soap if you like, but no scrubbing or regular soap/bodywash
- Apply a very thin layer of unscented, unmedicated lotion twice a day during healing (I recommend AfterArt or Bepanthen Cream)
- Some itching and dryness/crusting is all a normal part of the healing process
- Your tattoo will take around a month to heal
