Tattoo FAQ
How do I see your flash and one-off tattoo designs?!
Sign up to my newsletter! I always post them there first.
Where your studio is located?
In Corktown! At 90 Sumach Street, Toronto, M5A4R4,
Is there parking?
Yes we have free visitor parking here!
What should I bring to my tattoo appointment?
Absolutely anything that will help make you more comfortable. I have plenty of space at the studio, so feel free to bring anything you like. I recommend cosy socks or slippers - we have concrete floors.
I have a blog post about what to expect during your tattoo appointment here.
Should I use numbing cream for my tattoo?
I recommend not using numbing cream, Firstly it can change the surface of the skin to a 'rubbery' texture, which is harder to tattoo. It also stops my freehand markers sticking to your skin very well. And finally it doesn't last very long (less time than they say), so by the time we've freehanded your design it's basically pointless. Your body is capable of getting though a tattoo session without numbing cream, trust it.
Can I get tattooed while pregnant // breast feeding?
No, due to the risk of infection and blood borne disease it's always better to just wait.
Can I get tattooed while fasting?
It's best not to. Getting tattooed takes a toll on the body and if you're fasting you're far more likely to go into shock. I always recommend eating well prior to getting tattooed and also eating snacks throughout a tattoo to keep your blood sugar levels up
