FAQs

Please fill out the booking form. You can select from 2 options: 

​

1. Flash – Pick any pre-drawn design(s) from my Instagram. Flash designs will be available for limited repeats, typically around 2-3 times maximum. I am always open to altering and editing current flash designs to create a one-off, unique piece for you :)

​​

2. Custom design – Customisations based on my flash or your idea. Please describe your idea as clearly as possible and attach reference images. Please note that I will create the custom artwork according to your idea, though the design itself will be executed in my own style. 

Just a heads-up: I don’t send out custom designs ahead of time. You’ll get to see your design on the day of your appointment, and we will have time to discuss the design at the start of the session. 

​

Minor modifications are welcome and I’m happy to make minor adjustments. If you’re after a big change or a whole new concept though, that would require a new deposit.

I'm tattooing from Milk Bar Studio, an appointment-only studio based in the heart of Melbourne/ Narrm CBD. 

My minimum charge is $150.

​

Pricing will vary depending on a few things—like the size of the piece, whether it’s a custom or flash design, where it’s going on the body, and how detailed it is.

​​

Please submit an enquiry through my booking form and ask for an estimate for your design. 

​​

Discounts are applied for multiple tattoos done in one single session! 

To secure your spot, a deposit of $100–$200 (depending on your tattoo) is required. This goes toward your final cost and helps lock in your appointment.​

​

While deposits are non-refundable, you’re welcome to reschedule—just give at least 48 hours’ notice so your deposit can be carried over.

​​

Once we’ve locked in a date and time, I’ll send you a payment link to finalise the booking.

​​

If you need to make any major changes to your idea, please let me know at least 3 days before your appointment. Late major changes or short-notice reschedules may require a new deposit.

Yes, you're welcome to bring a friend! Please let me know beforehand. There’s a comfy couch where they can hang out, and they’re welcome to bring music, headphones, or a book to pass the time.

If you’re considering using numbing cream for your session, please be sure to let me know ahead of time. Some numbing creams can actually make the skin harder to tattoo, but I’m happy to recommend options that work well and guide you on how to apply them before your appointment.

Yes! If you notice your tattoo has faded or dropped out after one month, please get in touch with me for a free touch-up. Please note that touch-ups should be done between 1 and 3 months after your original session. 

Please make sure you bring an ID that shows proof of your age (e.g. a driver’s license or a passport). You must be OVER 18 years of age to get tattooed.​​

​​

Get a good night’s sleep before your appointment, and avoid alcohol or drugs. Your body will respond best when well-rested and healthy.

​​Eat a good meal before and after your appointment to avoid dizziness or low blood sugar. Bringing a snack is also a good idea!

​​

Avoid alcohol, drugs, and anti-inflammatory painkillers (e.g., Nurofen, Advil, aspirin) for at least 48 hours before your session as there is a risk that these medicines may thin the blood and consequently affect the healing of your tattoo. Panadol is OK.

​​Wear loose, comfortable clothing to allow easy access to the area being tattooed. Tattoo ink isn’t removable, so it’s best to wear dark clothing.

​​Bring headphones if you want to listen to music, read, or watch something during your session.

​​Stay well hydrated in the week leading up to your appointment—it helps with healing.

​​It’s best to avoid sunbathing leading up to your session—if you’re sunburnt, I won’t be able to tattoo you.

​​Please allow plenty of time for your session and let me know if you have any time constraints.
