what are flash designs?

A portfolio of available designs that I really want to tattoo. I prioritise flash related bookings over customs and these are usually cheaper than custom designs.
Available designs are found on the 'Flash' highlights tab on my Instagram, or are available upon request.

Repeatable flash are designs that will be tattooed unlimited times - custom variations can also be requested.
Non-repeatable flash will only be tattooed once. Once sold out they will not be tattooed again. However custom variations of the design can be requested so it's made unique to you.

do you do custom tattoos?

Yes, I love designing unique, custom tattoos that fit my style; botanical, portraiture/figurative, abstract, glitchy, flowline.

Custom versions of flash designs can be requested if you'd like a more bespoke variation made.

To book a custom, fill in the form below and attach any reference and placement images that may help with designing.
Please note, I do not copy other designs without written consent from the original artist.

Custom designs will only be worked on once a deposit has been paid.
I show designs on the day of the appointment and we can make any changes you'd like then before tattooing. Rough sketches can be requested for review and these will be sent the day before the appointment.

I take on a limited amount of customs a month so not all customs will be accepted, please don't take this personally.

how much are your tattoos?

Tattoos are priced per project. The quote depends on design complexity, style, size, placement and number of coloured inks used.

Flash designs start from £200, final price depends on size, placement and the design.

Custom designs start from £250, and are priced per project depending on design, complexity, size and placement.

Multiple designs can be done in one session at a cheaper rate altogether (as this saves on materials and set up).

Book me for the day (11am - 6pm) and get a large design or multiple designs for a day rate of around £900 (final price dependant on design complexity).

Minimum is £180, e.g a small fineline heart design will be £180, so I’d recommend booking multiple small tattoos (1-4cm) in one session for £180.

Guest spot prices vary depending on the city.

do I have to pay a deposit?

Yes, to reserve your booking a £100 deposit will be required. For full day sessions deposits will be £200.

Deposits go toward the final price of the tattoo and are non-refundable, unless I have to reschedule/cancel. Bookings are not confirmed until a deposit is sent.

can I reschedule my tattoo?

Let me know at least 2-3 days in advance so I can fill the slot. I will reschedule you and keep the deposit valid. If you reschedule more than once a new deposit will be required.

how to prepare for a tattoo

On the day, come well rested, well fed, hydrated and moisturised.
Bring a bottle of water or a sugary-drink, some sugary snacks and wear loose fit, comfortable clothing.

Feel free to bring a book or listen to music/a podcast during the session.
I usually tattoo quietly when focusing but I am always happy to chat :)

During the session, don't be afraid to ask for breaks!

When booking, let me know if you'd prefer a silent appointment and I will only ask essential questions if needed.

⬩ tattoo aftercare ⬩

please follow these steps to help your tattoo heal optimally

Your tattoo will be wrapped with a cling film or second skin bandage.
Leave cling film on for minimum 3 hours, or leave second-skin on for 1-2 days.
No need to re-wrap unless told otherwise.

Remove bandage and wash with clean water and unfragranced soap.
Sanex Zero% shower gel is recommended.

Carefully pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Do not scrub or scratch the tattoo as this will damage the fine lines.

Apply a thin layer of aftercare cream/oil.
Palmers Cocoa butter, organic coconut oil or Hustle Butter are recommended.

Repeat cleaning and moisterising process 2-3 times a day.

Avoid these during the healing process:
Swimming pools, baths, submerging your tattoo in water for long periods, sunbathing, fake tan and scratching (softly slapping or blowing on the tattoo may ease itchiness.)

Tattoos take around 2 weeks to heal.
After it's healed, use SPF 50 sun cream to keep your tattoo looking it's best!

Please send me healed photos
Preferably taken by someone else in natural, bright lighting.
