FAQs

  • Everyone can! Within reason and safety. I myself have chronic skin issues, and understand how frustrating they can be! I’m always ready to work with your skin, not against it, whether this means using specific or gentler products, a lighter touch, or doing spot and line tests for free beforehand to see how we heal first - let me know and we’ll find a way if possible! I appreciate you being open!

  • Honestly, the only place that can be a bit tricksy is the upper inner arm! This is the section of skin from your elbow to your armpit that rests against your body. Tattoos can age very differently and more unpredictably here than anywhere else on the body. All tattoos age, lines will naturally expand, move and change over time. In this specific area however, this process is often expedited. Even with everything done correctly by the Artist during the session, and the client during the healing process, the outcome of tattoos here, can be more varied. This process is also exacerbated with thinner, sketchier lines (which a lot of my tattoos are). Larger, bolder and or more simple designs work better here. It is absolutely possible to tattoo you in this area, however we want it to look as good as possible for as long as possible, and I like to make sure my clients have all the information before making a decision! 

  • While we love supportive friends and family, the studio isn’t HUGE! You’re welcome to bring someone, however if the studio gets too busy, we make ask you to wait elsewhere! We will always make it work if we can - We appreciate you!

  • Brick House Studio is My Private Studio that I share with another fabulous Artist! It is a safe space, welcoming to all, LGBTQ+ friendly, wheelchair accessible, and surrounded by other independent spaces.

    Set within a restored Victorian warehouse, hidden down a secret path from Whitburn Road and backing onto Firkin Brewery, within a community of like minded local and small business owners.

  • I want my tattoos walking around to look as fabulous as possible! Things happen all the time during the healing process - I once had my puppy pull out a scab and some tattoo with it! If your tattoo needs sone extra love, absolutely send me a message and we’ll get it booked in, free of charge.

    If you have a tattoo done by somebody else that you would like some attention from, this is very case by case basis and will end to be discussed more - send me an email and we’ll go from there!
