Take care of it

Aftercare

Your tattoo is basically an open wound for two weeks. Siobhan will walk you through specifics at your appointment, but here is the information written down for your convenience.

01

First few hours

Leave the wrap on as long as Siobhan tells you at the appointment. Up to 1 hour for standard film and up to 3-4 days for second-skin style bandages. When it comes off, wash gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap, then pat dry with a clean towel or paper towel.

02

Days 1–14

Wash twice a day and apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer, thin is the keyword. Itching and light flaking are normal, do not scratch or pick. Let any flakes fall off on their own.

03

Things to avoid

No soaking while healing, so no baths, pools, hot tubs, ocean etc. for about 2 weeks (showers are fine). Keep fresh tattoos out of direct sun, and avoid tight clothing rubbing on the area.

04

Long-term

Once healed, sunscreen is the single best thing you can do for your tattoo. If anything about the healing looks off, please reach out. A touch up appointment can be scheduled after the 2 week healing period if needed.

Questions

FAQ

›How do I book an appointment?

Pick an open date on the booking calendar and send a request with a short description of the piece. Siobhan reviews every request personally and you'll get an email or direct message when the request has been reviewed. Appointments are not confirmed without a deposit.

›How much will my tattoo cost?

It depends on size, detail, and placement. Flash designs have set prices listed with each design. For custom work, Siobhan bases pricing at an hourly rate of $200/hr.

›Do you do cover-ups?

Yes, however they are done on a case by case basis, and not every coverup will be accepted. This also applies to reworks.

›What should I do before my appointment?

Sleep well, eat a real meal beforehand, and hydrate. Skip alcohol the night before because it thins your blood. Wear comfortable clothes that leave the placement easy to reach, and bring snacks for longer sessions.

›Can I bring a friend?

Yes, guests 16 and older are welcome to join you at your appointment.

›What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Please provide as much notice as possible when canceling or rescheduling an appointment. Deposits are non refundable, but can be transferred to a new date one time as long as the change is done with at least 24 hours notice.
