HOW DO I BOOK IN FOR A TATTOO ? 
You can fill out this form with a description of what you’d like to get, along with any reference images, body placement, and a photo of the area (especially if it’s a cover-up or you're looking to fill a gap).
A deposit (based on the tattoo quote) is required to secure your booking.
Once the deposit is paid, we can proceed with scheduling your appointment.
(All details will be sent to you via email once you're ready to book.)

HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?
Prices vary depending on the final design, placement, colour palette, details, size, and more.
I have a minimum charge that varies based on the location of the tattoo on your body.

DO YOU DO (STUDENT) DISCOUNTS?
I don't, unfortunately. But if you have a budget we can work something out. 

HOW OLD DO I NEED TO BE TO GET A TATTOO? 
18 years of age and older. 

DO YOU TATTOO EVERY PART OF THE BODY?
I don't tattoo fingers, the sides of hands, or the sides of feet (check healed photos on Google).
Female genitals are also an area I don't tattoo.
Additionally, I don’t tattoo hands, necks, or faces unless you’re already heavily tattooed or have visible tattoos in those areas.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I WANT MY GENITALS TATTOOED AND HOW'S THE PROCESS?

Simply drop me an email at rottenrageuk@gmail.com to discuss your ideas.
Reference pictures are always welcome as they help a lot.
Depending on the design, we can go over your ideas and arrange a booking via email.
For more intricate projects, an in-person consultation is recommended!

Please note, my minimum charge for genital tattoos is higher than for other body areas.
These tend to take longer than tattoos in more common areas, and it's a specialized type of tattooing that not everyone offers or knows how to do.
Get in touch to discuss pricing!

CAN I HAVE A NAME TATTOOED ON ME? 
I don't really feel comfortable tattooing a partner's name.
However, names of your kids, parents, pets, etc., are more than welcome!

DO YOU TATTOO EVERY STYLE?
I specialize in watercolour, (brutal) blackwork, blackouts, sketchy, and abstract tattoos.
I also love incorporating a bit of traditional style here and there.
I’m open to other styles as well, except for realism, tribal tattoos, and micro tattoos that may not hold up over time.
Take a look at my gallery for some inspiration! :)

DO YOU OFFER TOUCH-UPS? 

I offer free touch-ups for tattoos I've done, provided the appointment is booked within 3 months
of your original tattoo date.
After 3 months, touch-up appointments will be quoted and charged at the studio’s standard rate.

Body areas that don't include free touch-ups:

• Fingers

• Hands

• Toes

• Feet

• Armpit

• Elbow

• Head (including face, inner lip, and ears)

• Genitals (including penis head, underside of the shaft, scrotum, and bum hole)
   

WILL I BE ABLE TO SEE THE DESIGN?

I don’t send designs beforehand because it would mean preparing everything too far in advance,

which could take priority away from my next day's appointments.
The design will be ready on the day of your appointment,
and we can go through all the details and any small adjustments then.
This also helps avoid excessive back-and-forth emails.
If I need anything from you before the appointment, I’ll reach out in advance.

DOES IT HURT?
Of course it does :) you'll be fine though! 

DO YOU USE ANY NUMBING CREAM?
I personally prefer not to use numbing creams.
Some numbing creams can be harsh on the skin, both during and after the tattoo,

making it harder for me to work and more difficult to heal.
Please be honest with me

if you’ve applied numbing cream, let me know before your appointment

(especially if you're a first-time client and I don’t know your skin yet).
If you show up wearing numbing cream without telling me,

I will refuse to tattoo you, and your deposit will be forfeited.

CAN YOU PUT THE STENCIL ON AND LEAVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS SO I'LL GET USED TO IT? 
Oh hell to the no :) 

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE THE TATTOO? 
Make sure you're well-rested and have a good meal before your tattoo.
Avoid alcohol and other drugs.
(I’m not a fan of the smell of weed, so please avoid smoking it— I won’t tattoo you if you're high.)
Please refrain from using fake tan on the area, and avoid waxing or shaving it right before the session.
Trimming with clippers is fine, and I’d actually appreciate that!
Bring some water, sugary drinks, and snacks because you’ll likely get hungry.
A book or some music will help keep you entertained during the session.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER THE TATTOO?
I will explain you everything on the day and will give you an aftercare form with all the instructions. 

DO YOU TATTOO FROM HOME OR DO HOME VISITS? 
I'm highly against home tattooing so please let's keep it professional. 

SHOULD I BUY ANY NAPPY RUSH CREAM BEFORE THE TATTOO?
PLEASE DON'T use nappy rash creams like Bepanthen or Sudocrem.
Stay away from antiseptic creams and any non-tattoo-specific ointments.

WHAT AFTERCARE DO YOU RECCOMEND?

It depends on the tattoo and body area.
I’ll explain everything on the day, and you’ll be given an aftercare form at the end of the session!

P.S. There’s no need to buy aftercare products in advance, unless you already have a favourite that works for you.
You can get tattoo cream and soap at the studio!

WHAT'S ECO-FRIENDLY IN YOUR TATTOOING?
Pretty much everything I use during each tattoo session is eco-friendly, recyclable,
and biodegradable (whenever possible).
From start to finish, you won’t find any single-use plastic used in your session.
Stencil paper, cling film, paper towels, razors, ink caps, rinse cups,
bed/arm rest/workstation covers, bottle covers— and more!
This is how I like to work, and doing our little bit for a better world is always a win!

 
WHAT'S A VEGAN TATTOO? 
please read this paragraph from The Vegan Society website:

" Although many good quality tattoo inks are now vegan-friendly, some inks still contain ingredients that are animal derived. Glycerine derived from animal fats is often used as a stabiliser, sometimes alongside gelatine, and bone char can be found in black inks to provide an increased pigment. The main issue, however, stems from the equipment and aftercare products used within the tattoo process, with stencil papers often made with lanolin, the substance derived from a sheep’s wool. Many recommended aftercare products, and even disposable razors provided by the tattoo studio also aren’t vegan, as animal derived glycerine can be found in razor strips and aftercare soaps. Meanwhile, balms often contain lanolin or beeswax. The good news, however, is that there are plenty of vegan-friendly alternatives, that are affordable and easily accessible. " 




Thanks for reading!
Hopefully, I didn’t come across as too strict
but I’d rather be strict and professional
than appear disinterested in what I do or not care about my work.
