Question 3

Accepted Answer

Our private professional studio is located at Eden Terrace, Auckland, New Zealand.

Question 4

Each design is priced based on size, overall complexity and body placement.

If your project is chosen, you'll receive a quote prior to committing to the tattoo.

Question 5

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a deposit is required to secure your booking. Deposit is not an additional cost, it goes towards the full price of your tattoo.

If your project is chosen, you'll be provided a quote with details to pay a deposit.

Please note deposits are non-refundable.

Question 6

Can I book multiple tattoos for one session?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can.

Multiple tattoos for one sitting will be cheaper than booking individual appointments as it saves set-up materials.

You only need to submit one booking request but  make sure to clearly specify the tattoo ideas and relevant details.

Make sure to submit as many reference photos as possible with at least one picture for each idea. I may ask for more references later during email consultation.

Question 7

Do I need to come for in-person consultation?

Accepted Answer

In-person consultation is not necessary as we will do our consultation online by emails. You'll have the chance to express your ideas, provide feedbacks and ask questions.

However, if you would like to meet in person to discuss any details, please let us know and we can sort it out for you.

Question 8

What if I change my mind?

Accepted Answer

Once we agree on the details of the tattoo, changes to the design may not be possible or incur additional charge. Please be specific when submitting your request.

You'll receive a written summary of your request, and this will be the  guide when designing for you. Please review the tattoo summary and the quote thoroughly before putting down the deposit.

Always only go ahead with booking if you're 100% sure and happy.

Question 9

Can I reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you may change once by giving notice by email, at least 7 days prior to your appointment.

Shorter notice or further rescheduling will result in losing your deposit. 
​
Before booking, please check your work and holiday arrangements as you will need to avoid some activities for 2-3 weeks after the appointment(such as swimming, sun exposure).

Question 10

What kind of reference photos do I send?

Accepted Answer

Reference photos is a great tool to communicate your ideas visually.

You'll need to upload reference photos for:

(1) Your body placement
A picture showing where you'd like the tattoo on your body. Please circle the area you'd like the tattoo to be. This helps me design and give you an accurate quote.

(2) Concept/subject 
3-5 references photos of  your tattoo concept/subject.
If it is a flash design you want to book, you can just send me the screenshot of the flash design here.

(3) Style reference
At least 2 photos my previous work as style reference. See my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/yolie.light/)for inspiration.

Question 11

When will I hear back?

Accepted Answer

It might take up to 2 weeks to hear back from us.

You'll be contacted by email. Please check your inbox + junk/spam folder as sometimes it ends up there.

Please note that submitting a request is your expression of interest and doesn't guarantee an appointment with me.  In either case, you'll get be notified by email.
