Question 11

What are your studios hygiene practises?

Accepted Answer

Safety is so incredibly important to me, for the sake of clients and myself.

The studio is completely disposable, which means that any tools including needles, cartridges, grips and tapers, which come into contact with clients are single use.

The studio is cleaned daily and treatment areas are cleaned and disinfected thoroughly between clients.

If you do have any specific questions about hygiene practises please feel welcome to get in touch.

Question 12

Do you offer both tattoos and piercings in the same appointment?

Accepted Answer

If you would like to get tattooed and pierced on the same day please let me know so that I can allow enough time for it. Bear in mind that the more you get done the more you're asking your body to heal, and getting pierced after a full day of getting tattooed won't be much fun for either of us, sometimes it is best to schedule two appointments so that it is more comfortable.

Question 13

How long have you been tattooing/piercing for?

Accepted Answer

I have been tattooing and piercing since 2010, however I am passionate about learning and improving in both tattooing and piercing so that I can give the best and safest experience that I can.

Question 14

Can I get tattooed/pierced if I am pregnant or breasfeeding?

Accepted Answer

For the health and safety of you and your baby I will not tattoo or pierce during pregnancy.
 
Breastfeeding is a tricky one! I would recommend avoiding getting tattooed or pierced for a good few months at least after having your baby; your body is doing plenty as it is and asking it to heal something new is a lot to ask of it.

As you are breaking the skin during tattooing and piercing there will always be the risk of infection, for this reason I would advise against getting tattooed or pierced whilst breastfeeding.

I understand that some mothers prefer to be led by their children in how long they breastfeed for, in some cases for many years. In that case I would recommend letting me know prior to booking in so we can discuss whether going ahead with your tattoo is piercing is right for you and your child.

I would absolutely recommend against wearing jewellery in pierced nipples if you are breastfeeding as it is a choking hazard.

Question 15

Can I get a tattoo or piercing if I'm on medication or have a medical condition?

Accepted Answer

Please get in touch to discuss if you think you may not be able to get tattooed or pierced due to a health condition that you have; each and every person and each and every health condition is unique. It may be safer to discuss with your doctor or consultant first, and your health and safety will always come first before getting tattooed.
