Organic Joy Tattoo FAQ
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
Pain levels vary from person to person, and it depends on where you’re getting the tattoo. Most of my clients describe it as a mild to moderate discomfort. I’ll do my best to keep you comfortable throughout the process.
How much does a tattoo cost?
The cost really depends on the size, detail, and placement of your tattoo. Once you fill out the booking form, I’d be happy to give you a personalised quote during a consultation to ensure you get exactly what you want.
How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?
Make sure you’re well-rested, hydrated, and have eaten a good meal before your appointment. It’s also important to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications beforehand.
How should I care for my new tattoo?
I’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions, but generally, you’ll need to keep the area clean, apply a thin layer of ointment, and avoid direct sunlight and soaking in water. Proper care is crucial for your tattoo to heal beautifully.
What should I consider when choosing a tattoo design?
Think about what’s meaningful to you and consider the placement on your body. I’m here to help you refine your ideas and ensure the design complements your skin and body shape perfectly.
How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?
Typically, the initial healing process takes about 2-3 weeks, but full healing can take a few months. I’ll guide you through each stage of the healing process to make sure everything goes smoothly.
How long does a tattoo session typically last?
Sessions can vary from 1-2 hours for smaller pieces to multiple sessions of several hours for larger or more detailed designs. I’ll work with you to create a schedule that fits your needs.
Can you cover up an old tattoo?
Absolutely! I have done many cover-ups and would love to help you transform your old tattoo into something new and amazing. Let’s discuss your options and come up with a design that works.
Can I exercise or swim after getting a tattoo?
It’s best to avoid swimming and strenuous exercise that causes heavy sweating for at least 2 weeks. This helps prevent infection and ensures your tattoo heals properly. I’ll give you all the details to keep your new ink looking its best.
What should I do if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment?
Life happens, and I understand that plans can change. Just let me know as soon as possible if you need to reschedule or cancel.
