Sessions, pricing, aftercare, and what to expect when working with me.
Sessions and pricing
I have a minimum rate of $1800 regardless of size. Every project and person is unique, so the final price may vary depending on the complexity and coverage of the design.
Sessions are typically full-day. The length of your session will depend on the size and complexity of the moko.
Payment and deposit
A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance is due on the day of your appointment. I do not take payments in instalments.
Appointment and location
I work exclusively from home in Tauranga, Aotearoa. The space is small and intimate. I only allow one or two support people to be present during your session.
I only book tattoos 2 months in advance. Please arrive on time. Late arrivals may incur a fee.
Health concerns and conditions
Please let me know of any health conditions, allergies, or medications before your appointment. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a compromised immune system, we may need to reschedule.
Before your appointment
Make sure you have something to eat and wear comfortable clothing. Get a good night's sleep and stay hydrated.
Aftercare
Have a warm shower once you get home. Let running water wash over your tattoo to clean it. Avoid using any soap or loofahs and pat dry.
Your body knows how to heal itself. It will form a crust that flakes off within 1-2 weeks. Wear loose clothing, avoid direct sun, and do not submerge your tattoo in water until fully healed.
If you are unsure or concerned with the healing of your tattoo please send me a message.
