Design process
For custom work I send through designs ahead of your appointment so we can discuss and make any changes. This is generally a day or two before your appointment depending on my schedule.
I don’t want you to feel pressured into getting a design that you don’t love, if it’s still not right by the day of the appointment we can always reschedule. Please note in cases where a client changes their mind or hasn’t provide a clear enough description or references a new deposit may need to be paid to reschedule a date.
The majority of my abstract work is done freehand. The process for this starts with a quick chat to work out the specifics of the placement and design, we'll also go through some reference images to make sure we're on the same page for the kinds of shapes and details to include. I’ll then draw the design onto your skin with single use markers, starting with a light colour marker to map in the general shapes and flow, before refining it with darker colours. We’ll discuss and make adjustments throughout the drawing process.
Preparing for your appointment
Please don’t drink any alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment, and if possible avoid painkillers or any other medications that may increase bleeding. Excess bleeding can make a tattoo take longer, and affect the healed result.
It’s important to look after yourself before and after your appointment. Try to get a good nights sleep and have something to eat beforehand.
Moisturise and exfoliate your skin in the week leading up to your appointment and stay well hydrated.
Let me know if you would like to use numbing cream for our session and I can provide further information and recommendations. I also have a topical numbing spray that works on open skin that can be used during the session.
Getting to the studio
The studio street address is 754 Burke Rd, Camberwell.
We’re a short walk from Camberwell station.
There’s some free all day parking on Victoria Rd and Burwood Rd near the studio.
If you can only get a timed parking spot for your appointment you are welcome to take a break to move your car whenever you need to.
Safety and hygiene
Your health, safety, and comfort when getting tattooed is my first priority. I work at a licensed tattoo studio that is regularly cleaned and sanitised in line with industry standards.
My station and equipment is cleaned between clients with hospital grade disinfectant and/or UV light disinfection. All needles, inks, skin markers etc. are single use disposable and only used for one person and all precautions are taken to eliminate cross contamination risks.
If you have any questions or concerns about this topic please don’t hesitate to ask.
