FAQ
To avoid disappointment, please read the following before booking.
-
How do I book an appointment?Simply fill in the form below to submit your request. Make sure to read through this page beforehand to avoid disappointment.
-
Where are you based?7th Day Studio, Auckland, New Zealand 1052 We're a private studio in Parnell. Full address will be provided when booking's confirmed.
-
How much does it cost?I charge a set price which guarantees my full attention and freedom of time for application. 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.
-
Do I need to pay a deposit?Yes, a deposit is required to secure your booking. The deposit is 50% of the full cost of the tattoo. If your project is chosen, you'll be provided a quote with details to pay a deposit. Deposits pay towards the full price of your tattoo and are non-refundable.
-
What body placements do you tattoo?I tattoo most body parts and I prefer to work with arms and legs. I am also taking on small amounts of requests for hand tattoos - on the back of hand, no fingers. You can see placement example below. Please note frequent touchups might be needed for hand tattoos. I DO NOT tattoo ribcage/sternum/stomach area, face, neck, fingers, feet or private areas.
-
What reference photos do I upload?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 for inspiration.
-
What designs do you tattoo?I work in two ways: flash(pre-drawn) designs and custom designs. Flash designs can be viewed here. Custom designs are based on your concept. When submitting a custom request, please keep in mind that I'll only take on projects that are within my style. You can check out my instagram for my previous work. I do not replicate an existing tattoo or design.
-
When can I see the design?For flash/pre-drawn designs, you'll be able to view before submitting your request. They are available here on my flashback page . Simply attach a screenshot of the design you want as your reference. ​ For custom request, a written summary will be delivered prior to deposit. A design preview will be shown closer to your actual appointment time, usually the day before through email.
-
What if I change my mind?Once we agree on the details of the tattoo, changes to the design may not be possible or incur additional charge. 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.
-
What's your tattoo care advice?Prior to your appointment, I'll provide you information on how to prepare for your appointment, as well as how to care for your tattoo(s).
-
What is your availability?I work in studio on weekdays and Saturdays. Please note my Saturdays get booked very quickly so please be flexible - this will increase your chance of securing an appointment with me. When submitting the form, please state all suitable days of the week that work for you and I'll find the earliest time for us. If you have specific dates you prefer, please let me know and I'll try my best to accommodate.
-
Do you tattoo colours?No, sorry. I only work with black and grey inks. To avoid confusion, any requests for "black and white tattoos" will not be accepted.
-
Do you do cover-ups or rework existing tattoos?No, I do not do cover-ups or rework existing tattoos done by other artists.
-
Can I reschedule?Yes, you may change your appointment time once by giving 72-hour notice by email. Shorter notice will result in losing your deposit. ​ Before booking, please check your work and holiday arrangements as you cannot swim or bath for at least 3 weeks after the tattoo.
-
Can I book multiple tattoos for one session?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.
-
When will I hear back from you?It might take up to 2 weeks for me to get back to you. I will be in contact by email. Please check your inbox + junk/spam folder for a reply. Please note that submitting the form is your expression of interest and doesn't guarantee an appointment with me. Tattooing is a creative process and I want to deliver my 100% to you. I also need to limit the amount of projects I take on in order to guarantee the quality of my work. For the above reasons, I may not be able to accept your requests. Thank you for your understanding!
