​
Do tattoos hurt?
​
This question is asked more than any other when it comes to tattoos. Yes, even more than "How much?"
The answer is, "Yes." Quite literally we are stabbing you thousands of times a minute with multiple needles. Of course, it hurts
Now before you go getting all freaked out, keep in mind that thousands of people every day get tattoos, and they all survive. If done correctly, a tattoo should feel more like a burning sensation or discomfort. Different areas of the body can hurt more than others and sensitivity can even vary in small areas.
​
​
How do I care for my new tattoo?
​
We wrap your new tattoo in either tattoo repairing film or standard cling wrap.
For repairing film: keep this on for 24 hours
For cling wrap: keep the plastic wrap on for at least an hour.
Take a normal shower and let the tattoo rinse for a minimum of 30 seconds. Wash with a mild liquid soap, no more than twice a day. Pat dry with a clean towel/tissues, use Bepanthen or similar tattoo aftercare product and apply two to five times a day, keeping it from drying out and cracking-. Stay away from any pools, jacuzzis, lakes, ponds and ocean water for the first two weeks. Keep it clean, do not touch it with dirty hands. Keep your tattoo out of the sun while it is healing, and apply sunscreen to it once it has healed to keep the colour crisp. If you have any questions regarding how your tattoo is healing, please contact us.

​
​
Do I get to choose my artist?
​
Of course. It simply depends on that particular artist's availability. The artists are not all here every day, nor can we promise to fit in everyone wanting a tattoo on a particular day. We endeavour to match you with the best artist for your particular design style.
​
​
Can I fix an old or bad tattoo?
​
What would you do if you came home to find your girlfriend in bed with your brother and now you just can't handle the thought of having "Maria - Till Death Do Us Part" on your arm for everyone (including your new girlfriend) to see.
How about if you got a tattoo at a less than reputable place and realize that your 'NO REGRETS' tattoo is spelled 'NO RAGRETS', or that your fierce tiger looks more like a sketchy tabby cat?
What if your tribal tattoo looks like it was put on with a sponge? Do the scales on the dragon tattoo you got twenty years ago need a bit of touch-up?
For all these problems and more, we can help. Our artists have years of experience in cover-ups, restorations, and touch-ups because of the abundance of low-quality cheap tattoo studios.
If you've gotten a tattoo from us and you've taken care of it to the best of your ability but it's still lost some ink. Our artists guarantee their work and will be happy to touch it up for you, free of charge.
We've heard it all, and regardless of who broke up with whom, we'll be happy to work with you and offer options on how to get that bitch's name off your arm. Come in and see us, we'll be happy to do anything we can to help.
​
​
Can you help me design my tattoo?
​
Of course, we can! Our artists use a variety of methods to design your tattoo. Whether it is drawn freehand, drawn on paper or designed on a computer or tablet. Imagine you can bring in an image you like and have it transformed into an image you love. From good to great guaranteed.
Our artists work on their designs on the day of the tattoo, so you will get to talk to them directly regarding design, and placement and make any changes.
​
Are you wheelchair accessible?
​
Yes, our front entrance is a ramp that allows for easy access.

Tattoo Disclaimers
Disclaimer: Tattoo Fading on Feet, Hands, and Other Areas
Feet, hands, knees, fingers, toes, wrists & ankles are some areas where tattoos will not have great results.
Aging skin can be considered to hold a higher risk or poor results too. ​
Please be advised that tattoos placed on certain areas of the body, such as the feet, hands, fingers, and other high-friction or high-movement areas, are more prone to fading and may not heal as well as tattoos in other locations. The skin in these areas is often thinner, more exposed to the elements, and subjected to more wear and tear. This can result in faster fading, blurred lines, or incomplete healing of the tattoo.
Additionally, due to the constant movement and pressure on these areas, touch-ups may be necessary to maintain the appearance of the tattoo over time. We recommend considering these factors when choosing a tattoo placement and discussing them with your tattoo artist to ensure you have a clear understanding of the potential outcomes.
​
Disclaimer: Fine Line Tattoos
Please be aware that fine-line tattoos come with certain risks that differ from those of tattoos done with regular-sized needles. The tiny needles used in fine line work create smaller punctures in the skin, resulting in less ink being deposited. This can potentially affect the healing process and may lead to reduced colour depth or visibility in the final result compared to tattoos done with standard needles.
As a result, fine-line tattoos may fade more quickly, and touch-ups could be necessary to maintain the desired appearance. We recommend discussing these factors with your tattoo artist to ensure you are fully informed before proceeding.
​
​
Disclaimer: Importance of Proper Tattoo Aftercare
Please be aware that failing to follow proper aftercare instructions during the healing period of your tattoo can result in poor outcomes. Inadequate care can lead to issues such as fading, scarring, infection, or uneven healing, which can significantly affect the final appearance of your tattoo.
Proper aftercare, including keeping the tattoo clean, moisturized, and protected from direct sunlight and friction, is essential for ensuring the best possible healing and colour retention. Neglecting these guidelines may cause your tattoo to lose vibrancy, blur, or heal with unintended imperfections.
We highly recommend reading our TATTOO AFTERCARE GUIDE and following all instructions carefully to achieve the best results.

Terms and Conditions
​​
​
​
Price agreement
​
We will do our best to give you the most accurate quote possible based on the information we receive from you. In some cases we will give you an exact price, in other cases we will give you a price range.
​
We promise you the original price or price range we quoted online will remain exactly the same if we do the tattoo exactly as discussed. If the tattoo changes in size or design upon consultation we will adjust the price accordingly. If it becomes smaller or less complex we will make it cheaper for you, if the design is bigger or more complex the price may increase.
In the situation we have quoted for an 'average size person' and you are actually much smaller or larger than average we will also adjust the price accordingly once we can see you in person for consultation.
​
All tattoo designs and prices are assessed for changes to the original agreement and will be confirmed with you prior to starting the tattoo.
Deposit
​
In order to make a booking we require a deposit to lock in your booking slot:
Tattoos ranging from 1.2 - 1.8 million IDR require a 500k IDR deposit
Tattoos ranging from 1.9 - 3 million IDR require a 1 million IDR deposit
All tattoos above 3 million IDR require a 2 million IDR deposit per day booking
If you make a deposit via bank transfer please allow 2-5 working days for the payment to come through, if the payment has not been received before your tattoo has finished we will need to charge in full. We will refund the deposit amount after it has been received.
If you book multiple days we request 2 million IDR per day which will be held to lock each day's booking in separately.
For pre-design tattoos, we ask for a 50% deposit of the total tattoo price to create the design before in-person consultation. (see Pre-Design T&C for more details)
​
Pay as you go
For multi-day bookings, we require the payments to be ahead of the tattoo progress each day, so that at no stage have we done more work than you have paid for.
This is mitigated by full payment at the end of the first day or with daily progress payments.
Progress payments are calculated by dividing the total price by the number of days minus one day's deposit (2 million IDR), not the total deposit.
If you choose to pay your balance with a bank transfer you risk the payment being delayed in some cases. International transfers cannot be accepted for balance payments on the day of your tattoo as this comes with a multi-day delay. Some Australian bank transfers have a 24-hour hold delay, if you think this may happen we ask you to choose another payment option or pay your balance 24 hours before it is due. If the payment is delayed once you have completed the tattoo we will require you to pay through another payment method. We can refund you later once the funds have arrived.
​
Pre-design
​
A pre-design is a design requested by the client to be completed before the booking date.
We prefer not to create designs prior to an in-person artist-client consultation. There is very good reason for this, is that online communication is not ideal and can cause problems and delays in the design process. Also, we find that some clients change their minds about the design by the time they actually arrive for the booking date.
​
For pre-design tattoos, we ask for a 50% deposit to start the design process.
In order to successfully create a pre-design we require a clear description of all necessary details:
Location / Placement
Size
Black and grey or colour specifications
Design references
Design Description
Design style
And any other important information the artist will require
We are happy to make revisions to get it just right for you, however, we cannot change the design entirely if you change your mind, in this case, we would need to start again and charge you for the artist's time so far with the design.
So we ask that if you want to proceed with a pre-design please be sure about your concepts before making the commitment.
Cancellation policy
​
All bookings are final and deposits are not refundable.
We hope you can understand that cancellations or reschedules can be a hassle for our bookings, especially since some of them are made over a year in advance. However, if you do need to cancel, there's no need to worry about losing your deposit as we will hold it for a rescheduled date. It's worth noting that tattoo prices may change in the future, so we may have to reassess the price again.
Reschedule booking with adequate notice
We understand that sometimes plans change unexpectedly. If you need to reschedule your booking, we are able to hold your deposit for another date that works better for you in the future. Inform us more than 5 days in advance, and we'll try to help you reschedule your booking.
​
Reschedule booking without adequate notice
Please be advised that if you cancel your booking within 5 days of the scheduled date, we must charge a re-schedule fee of 50% of your daily deposit. This is because we need to make arrangements and may have turned down other potential guests to accommodate your booking. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Cannot finish your tattoo
​
It's important to note that if you start your tattoo but cannot finish it on time because you need too many breaks or ask to stop completely because you can't handle it anymore, we will still need to charge you for the full booking price. However, we will be happy to reschedule your session for another date at your convenience. Therefore, we advise you to carefully consider the amount of tattoos you book and make sure you can handle them to avoid any inconvenience. Please understand that at this stage, we have already completed your design and allocated the booking slot just for you. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Over Schedule & Delays
In some cases, a tattoo may take longer than anticipated due to design complexity or a multitude of other factors.
When the delay is our own, we will simply work the additional time required to complete the job. We will do our best to accommodate you if an additional day is required.
We urge you not to create any delays yourself or you can risk your tattoo not being completed within schedule. Common delays are: applying numbing cream throughout the active session and waiting for its effects, coming late, having a long lunch break and having too many breaks.
If you choose to use numbing cream, you must apply it one hour before your appointment, which we can assist you with. You can then reapply at lunchtime if necessary.
In case you cause too much of a delay the tattoo cannot be completed in time you may have to reschedule another appointment for an additional cost. This can be very difficult if our bookings are already full.
​
