CAN I WALK IN OR DO I NEED AN APPOINTMENT?

For same day appointments please email emmaudoestattoodos@gmail.com to book in - for anything else please send us an email or give us a call.
WHAT SHOULD I BE AWARE OF BEFORE BOOKING MY TATTOO?

You must be 18 or over to have a tattoo and ID will be required on the day of your appointment. We unfortunately cannot tattoo you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have any medical conditions such as a blood borne virus etc, please make your artist aware of this during your consultation or before making your booking. We recommend no swimming or heavy sun exposure (including sun beds) for the first few weeks of your healing.
HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST?

Tattoos are all based off of a $150/h rate. How many hours a tattoo design required before the appointment, and the speed of how quick the tattoo was done at may alter the rate to between $150-200/h at the studio. I try to be as fair as possible with my pricing and take a lot of things into account that clients outside of the industry may not see. Below are examples of my work and the cost associated with each design/size/location.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY TATTOO ON THE DAY?

A good breakfast is highly recommended, and too much alcohol the night before is not a good idea, as this can thin the blood. Certain over-the counter medications will also thin the blood. Please be aware we will not tattoo anyone under the influence of drink or drugs.
HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY NEW TATTOO?

If you were wrapped with taxidermy, leave that wrap on for between 3-5 days would be recommended. It can be left on up to a week but no longer, or it can be taken off after a few hours if you desire to do that. Wash your tattoo with clean hands, using warm water. Rinse the area with cold water and pat dry. Normal showering is fine just do not soak your tattoo or rub with a towel. Wash and moisturize your tattoo 2-3x per day for the next 2 weeks after you unwrap it. Your tattoo will scab whilst it is healing, do not pick at the flakes as this can cause the color to be pulled out. Avoid swimming, gym or suntanning for at least 2 weeks. After it is healed you may apply a high SPF sunblock for the life of your tattoo to prevent fading.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND TO MY TATTOO?

Yes you may, but there is no designated seating in the tattoo area. There is extra seating in the lobby.
