I aim to reply to enquiries within up to four weeks during busy periods.

Tattoo Aftercare
So the uncomfortable, albeit painful, tattoo artwork is now complete and you have a beautiful new tattoo - but, the tattoo process doesn't stop there! Aftercare for your tattoo is a VERY IMPORTANT stage of the tattooing process and is necessary for optimum healing. Once you leave the studio it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to care for your tattoo.
Here are some recommended guidelines on how to care for your new tattoo..... TATTOO AFTERCARE
HOW I WORK BEST...
The best tattoo work I ever get to create are the ones where I am given the most creative freedom for your request. A degree of 'letting go' and trusting your tattooist ensures the best possible work. I am very happy to work with you to create the perfect design and I am never offended if you suggest alterations to your design, however, if your vision is not combining with mine, it's not the end of the world, it just means your ideas will be better suited to another artist. This is all discussed during the booking of your tattoo, but the more free reign I have with the design the better the work will be.
FREESTYLING...
I provide a sketch of your tattoo the morning of your appointment (and not any time before)... I appreciate this may sound risky, but I do provide a comprehensive consultation process to understand your full tattoo requirements. The sketches I provide are just that - sketches! I work best with a lose design, and more often than not, I freestyle most of the drawing directly onto the skin with pen, this enables the design to flow elegantly with the body shape and personality of each client. I only begin tattooing when we are both 100% happy with the design and placement.
Tattoo Removal
I can highly recommend a local salon who provide exemplary tattoo laser removal. LA Perfection based in Witney, Oxfordshire, have the most advanced tattoo removal system for removing all tattoo colours and are the only clinic within a 70 mile radius with a laser that can remove all tattoo colours.
