You must be at least 18 years old to receive a cosmetic tattoo. This is a legal requirement and ensures that clients are mature enough to make an informed decision about the procedure.

The longevity of your cosmetic tattoo depends on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Typically, results last 1-3 years, with a refresh recommended every 12-18 months to maintain the best appearance.

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort. You’ll need to provide your own numbing cream (from a compound chemist) to ensure your comfort during the procedure. You can order some from here: https://www.compoundingpharmacy.com.au/pages/patient-care-checklist

Healing typically takes 7-10 days, during which the area may feel tender, and you might experience some flaking or scabbing. Following the aftercare instructions I provide is essential for the best results.

No, I cannot perform cosmetic tattooing on clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. This is for your safety and to ensure the best outcomes.

Avoid blood thinners (like aspirin or alcohol) for at least a week before your appointment. You’ll also need to complete mandatory consultation documents 48 hours prior and bring your own numbing cream. This can be ordered from a compound chemist

I require at least 48 hours' notice for appointment changes. Please note that your deposit is non-refundable, but it can be transferred to a rescheduled appointment if proper notice is given.

I have two clinic locations:  

• Townsville: 260 Charters Towers Road, Refresh Clinic  

• Brisbane: 411 Main Road, Wellington Point

If you have existing cosmetic tattoos, please book in for a consultation as I’ll need to assess whether I can work over the previous tattoo.
