Loved loved loved doing this tattoo ☺️ When I came in for the consultation Dorcas was absolutely lovely: first helping me find the place after I got a bit lost, was very easy to talk to and she understood exactly the vibe I wanted! Dorcas freestyled a few rough ideas first on the area I wanted, explaining clearly her approach/ideas and was understanding with any changes I wanted. Then when she sent me the finalised design few days before the appointment, It was perfect! Exactly as we discussed. It was my first handpoked tattoo and honestly I was a bit nervous thinking it would hurt more then with a machine, that it would require a proper ‘wack’ to be tattooed in ? It ended up better then I expected, Felt about the same pressure just less consistent/fast as a machine since its done by hand, so keep in mind it may take a bit longer then youd think ?↕️ And now Im over the moon with how it looks! Will be going back to finish it off and get a matching one for my other arm ??
it was really lovely! really great experience

Questions
How much is the deposit and when do I pay it?
To hold your spot, I usually require a £100 non refundable deposit. This deposit will be applied to the final cost of your tattoo and is paid by card through Tattoodo when you book the appointment. I offer financing options through Klarna, allowing you to spread out the deposit cost if needed.
What affects how long a tattoo takes?
Several factors influence the time needed: • Placement on the body • Color vs. black and grey work • Level of detail • Size of the piece • How your skin takes ink
When will I see the design? Can I request changes?
Custom Design: Quick sketch sent after deposit is received (usually within 1-2 weeks, depending on your appointment date) Refined draft sent 2 days before your session Final design sent 1 day before your session Please note: Additional changes beyond the original brief may incur extra charges Significant design changes may require a new appointment booking
What happens if I need to reschedule or cancel?
Minimum 7 days’ notice period First reschedule: free of charge Second reschedule: £50 fee Less than 7 days’ notice: deposit forfeited
What payment methods do you accept?
Mainly Cash. For the remaining balance after the deposit, you can pay securely through Tattoodo with all major credit and debit cards. I also offer financing options through Klarna, so that you can spread out your payment over time.
Do you offer consultations?
Yes, I offer In-person consultations.
Can I get any design I want?
I’ll work with your ideas but add my own style to create something unique. If I think a design won’t work well as a tattoo, I’ll let you know and suggest better options.
