health & safety
Tattooing creates a wound, and certain conditions may increase risks.
Please let me know in advance if any of the following apply to you:
skin infections such as herpes, active skin conditions, or damaged skin
allergies (latex, metals, preservatives)
diabetes, autoimmune conditions, blood clotting disorders
pregnancy or breastfeeding
If you’re unsure whether it’s safe to proceed, it’s always best to consult a doctor first. Your safety comes first.
what to expect during the session
Tattooing may involve discomfort, redness, or swelling — this is normal.
We’ll take breaks when needed.
Some clients like to talk, others prefer silence, reading, or music. All are welcome.
I’ll check in with you throughout the session and adjust where needed.
My only request is trust.
Allowing space for creative freedom is essential to create work that truly fits you.
