How it works

Idea to healed in four steps.

  1. 01

    Consult

    Tell us the idea, placement and size. Bring references, scars and questions. Twenty minutes, free.

  2. 02

    Design

    Your artist draws it from scratch. One round of tweaks at the stencil stage is always included.

  3. 03

    Session

    Sterile setup, single-use needles, a playlist you like. We break whenever you need to.

  4. 04

    Heal

    Second-skin film, a printed aftercare card and a free touch-up check at six weeks.

Aftercare

Heal it right.

Scrub to the day you are on. Every client leaves with this on a printed card.

Day 5
Day 4–7

Flaking starts

Light flaking and a slightly cloudy look are normal. The ink is fine underneath, it just looks dull for now.

  • Moisturise lightly
  • Wear loose clothes
  • Keep it out of the sun
  • Pick or peel flakes
  • Scratch, even gently

“Mara redrew my idea three times until it sat perfectly on my forearm. Healed like a dream, the linework is still razor sharp two years on.”
