aftercare
& love notes
♡ what you'll need
unscented Dove soap or unscented antibacterial soap, and unscented white lotion. that's it!
✿ bandage removal
black bandage: keep on 2–3 hours. clear "second skin": leave on 4–6 days. remove and wash thoroughly with lukewarm water and unscented soap — no washcloths or loofahs. make sure all blood, plasma, and vaseline is gone. pat dry with a clean towel.
✦ daily care
wash 2–4 times a day until fully healed (usually 2–3 weeks). short showers only — 5 minutes max, no body wash or shampoo on the tattoo. around week one it may peel like a sunburn — a small amount of unscented lotion can be applied. keep clean bedding, keep pets away, wear loose clothing over the area.
♡ things to avoid
no sweaty activities, tanning beds, saunas, swimming, or baths during healing. do not pick or scratch your healing tattoo — it makes a big difference in how it turns out ♡
✿ forever after
once fully healed, SPF 50+ every time it sees the sun. this keeps the colours vibrant and the lines sharp for years to come ♡
the policy bit
♡ deposits
a $40 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. it's applied to the final cost of your tattoo. deposits are non-refundable if you cancel, no-show, or rebook with less than 48 hours notice.
✿ rescheduling
life happens! please give at least 48 hours notice and your deposit can be transferred to your new date. less than 48 hours notice may result in a lost deposit.
✦ design previews
to protect the integrity of custom work, designs are not shared in advance. you'll see your tattoo for the first time on the day of your appointment — trust the process, i put a lot of love into every piece ♡
♡ sunburned skin
i'm unable to tattoo over sunburned or heavily peeling skin. please avoid sun exposure on the area beforehand. if you arrive with a sunburn, your appointment will need to be rescheduled and the deposit will not be refunded.
✿ placement & sizing
final sizing and exact placement will be confirmed together on the day. come in with an idea of where you'd like it, but be open to small adjustments for the best result.
✦ shop minimum & age
shop minimum is $100. you must be 18 or older — valid government-issued ID is required at your appointment. i do not tattoo faces, necks, or fingers.
