If you feel unwell with a cold/Covid/flu/gastric flu please tell us it’s not advisable to have a tattoo in this condition and it will affect healing tattoos, plus we don’t reaaally want to share ;)

• Tell us if you are on any medication, this is important, some medications can affect healing, the tattoo process itself and some we simply cannot tattoo while you’re on. Please be transparent with us.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding. I’m sorry we cannot tattoo you. Our insurance does not cover us. And our local authority advises against it. (I have this in writing from our lovely health and safety officer) This is in case of any reaction or infection which could occur affecting your system. https://www.healthline.com/health/parenting/breastfeeding-tattoo#getting-a-tattoo https://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/what-to-know-about-the-risks-of-getting-a-tattoo-while-breastfeeding

• Ask your artist questions, it’s important to communicate at all points. If you’re worried about healing and you don’t know the answer it’s never going to be a silly question and we’ll always try to help where we can
