If you have allergy concerns that are not mentioned above, please let me know prior to the booking.

ANXIETIES

Here’s a list of answers to common things people get anxious about

I’m happy to answer any questions prior to the booking, or during the booking
You can ask about price, you’re paying for a service, it is totally okay to ask how much that service will cost
You can ask for design changes
You can ask to move a stencil as many times as you want
You can ask me to slow down and explain any aspect of the process
You can have extra time for decisions if needed, there’s never any reason to rush a tattoo
You can have a moment to sit and relax once you arrive at the studio
You can bring a friend
You can reach out the weeks after the booking with any questions about the tattoo or aftercare
You can also not get the tattoo, you’re allowed to change your mind

I am always happy to accomodate any accessibility requirements where possible, if there’s missing information above or you have a request, please get in touch via DM/Email.

If the studio space I work in is inaccessible to you, and we have previously tattooed at Crucible Tattoo Co, I am very happy to arrange a guest spot booking for us at Crucible Tattoo Co. This needs to be organised in advance, please reach out via Email to discuss.
