Not all of your treatments include a thorough consultation. However, if you would like to discuss the treatment more in-depth before booking, please get in touch with the salon.

During your appointment, we will perform an in-depth consultation in which we will discuss the designed design, outcome, shape and colour. Each treatment includes a full design, map and face measuring to ensure the treatment will match your face. This is a collaborative process and no tattooing happens until you are 100% happy.

Together during this time, we will choose a custom pigment colour to match. Topical anaesthetics are used during your procedure for pain management and you will walk away with your own aftercare balm & instructions.

Generally, the area tattooed will look darker as the pigment is on the surface of the skin. After the appointment, you must follow the aftercare given strictly to ensure to the best results after the healing process.
