Does getting a tattoo hurt?
The level of pain can vary depending on factors such as the placement of the tattoo, individual pain tolerance, and technique. Generally, tattoos involve some level of discomfort, often described as a sensation similar to scratching or stinging.
Where are you based?
I am a Sydney based tattoo artist, I am currently based at Omolu Creative Studio in Surry Hills NSW.
Are you licensed?
Yes, in order to tattoo, it is a legal requirement to obtain a tattoo license in New South Wales. License No: 102784
With over 6 years of tattooing in the industry, safety of my clients is my biggest priority. I am licensed to tattoo in New South Wales and carry tattoo show permits when I work interstate.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Tattoo prices vary based on factors such as the size, complexity, and location of the tattoo. A small tattoo completed in half a day can be in the hundreds of dollars and the range can head up to thousands of dollars and multiple bookings when large pieces such as full sleeves and back/leg pieces are designed and tattooed. It’s best to consult with me directly for an accurate price estimate which you can in my Contact form page.
How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?
Tattoo healing times vary, but it usually takes about 2-4 weeks for the outer layers of the skin to heal. However, complete healing and settling of the tattoo may take several months. Please check out my aftercare page for further information.
Can I get a tattoo if I have allergies or sensitive skin?
If you have allergies or sensitive skin, it’s important to inform me before getting a tattoo. We can discuss any potential risks or recommend alternative ink options to minimise adverse reactions.
Can I remove or modify a tattoo in the future?
Tattoo removal or modification is possible through various methods, such as laser tattoo removal or cover-up tattoos.
However, the effectiveness of these techniques can vary, and it’s important to consult with me to discuss the best options for your specific tattoo. While I do not offer lazer tattoo removal, I can recommend some preferred businesses.
While it is possible to remove or cover up a tattoo to an extent they should be treated as a long term/forever commitment.
Are there any health risks associated with getting a tattoo?
Allowing proper hygiene and safety protocols, the risk of health complications is minimal. However, it’s essential that aftercare instructions are followed diligently to prevent infections or other complications. You can see more information about aftercare instructions here.
Can I get a tattoo if I have certain medical conditions?
Some medical conditions and medications may affect the suitability of getting a tattoo. It’s advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before getting a tattoo if you have any specific medical concerns.
Can I bring my own design?
Absolutely, I welcome custom designs and collaborations with clients.
Bringing reference images or your own design ideas can help me convey your vision and enable me to create a personalized tattoo for you.
Depending on the design, size and area of body, I will have to redraw it to ensure compatibility which is all part of the tattoo estimate.
