-SCARS Project
- This project is for those struggling with mental health, bearing scars from self-harm and women with scars resulting from domestic violence.
- I will select 1-2 individuals each month to receive a free scar cover-up tattoo.
- Each case will be carefully evaluated, considering the artist’s availability and the specific challenges of scar cover-ups.
- Covering scars can be a difficult task with some limitations, keep in mind that the artist will need creative freedom to be able to work with you.
-How do I prepare for my upcoming appointment?
- Maintain your hygiene! That means taking a shower and wearing deodorant. Getting a tattoo means being up close and personal with our artists, so make sure you are smelling great and feeling clean.
- Dress appropriately. Make sure to wear comfy and old clothes that can easily reveal the area being tattooed.
- Eat and hydrate prior to the appointment.
- Do not drink alcohol the night before your appointment.
- Bring a water bottle just in case, hydration is important!
-Do I need to prepare my skin for the tattoo?
Yes, your skin needs to be moisturized for the procedure. If it's dry it will directly affect the final result of the tattoo! Dry skin can compromise the result of your tattoo!
To prepare your skin for the appointment you will need to use body moisturizer for extra dry skin in the region of the body you intend to tattoo! You should start using it at least 10 days before your appointment and apply the moisturizer at least 4x a day! Please, I would also like to ask you to drink at least 2L of water a day 10 days before the appointment, this will also help hydrate your skin. If you're travelling to the beach before tattooing, use sunscreen.
If your skin is sunburned or extremely dry, your appointment will be rescheduled and a new deposit will be charged. **Don't shave the hair in the area you're going to tattoo! I will do this at the tattoo shop on the day of your appointment! **
-How old do I have to be?
You must be 18 years of age or older to be tattooed at our shop, whether or not you have parental consent. Be prepared with photo ID on the day of your appointment.
-I have an allergic reaction, what now?
It is possible to have allergic reactions to certain types of inks, razors and plastic. There is no way for the artists to predict reactions of individual clients to these things. If you suspect your tattoo is inflamed, contact the artist immediately. Any reactions or complications any clients may have during their healing process it is also very important to contact a licensed medical professional if any symptoms seem concerning.
