Horseshoe Tiny Tattoo, Fine Line Tattoo, Perth

fill the tank

Drink a substantial amount of water and ensure you have eaten a nutritious meal at least 4 hours prior to your appointment. This can reduce the possibility of light headedness and fainting. We also recommend bringing snacks to your appointment to replenish your blood sugar levels.

Please ensure you are drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment as well as proper hydration is an important factor to healthy skin.

Avoid alcohol and caffeine

Please avoid alcohol or caffeine consumption at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. Alcohol and caffeine has the ability to thin the blood, which can potentially increase the amount of bleeding during the tattooing process (Tiny Tattoos / Fineline Tattoos are not prone to bleeding like traditional tattoos due to the needle sizes and techniques used). Bleeding can affect the outcome of the tattoo and its healing.

Wear comfy, accessible Clothing

Comfortable and accessible clothing will ensure your appointment runs smoothly. When attending your appointment, please choose loose-fitting, comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the proposed tattooed area. The correct clothing will allow your artist to work more efficiently and can help you relax during the appointment as it will minimise discomfort.

Moisturise the area(s)

Moisturise the area regularly in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure that your skin is hydrated as it can contribute to better results and faster healing. On the day of your appointment please refrain from applying moisturiser or lotion to the proposed tattoo area(s).

Shave the area(s)

Please remove any body hair from the proposed tattooed area(s). We recommend shaving (DO NOT WAX) 24 hours prior to your appointment.

Bring entertainment

You are more than welcome to read a book, listen to a podcast, scroll through Instagram or Tik Tok etc during your appointment if this helps to redirect your attention and relax your body. We want you to be as comfortable as possible, however it must not affect the tattoo process, so please ensure your entertainment does not increase bodily movement.

EXTRA ADVICE

We will not tattoo you if you are pregnant. If you are breastfeeding, a medical note from your doctor providing consent must be provided.
Avoid using harsh exfoliants or scrubs a few days prior to your appointment.
Avoid tanning or excessive sun exposure, and use sunscreen for at least four weeks before the appointment - The tattooed areas must not be damaged in any way (sunburn, cuts or abrasions, bruises, acne or ingrown hairs etc).

AFTER CARE

Congratulations on your new tattoo! With all of the love & excitement comes a little bit of care. To help your tattoo live a long, happy life and heal as best as possible, please follow these instructions. If a question ever arises, please do not hesitate to reach out to us!

DO NOT pick or scratch your tattoo
Do not use a washcloth or anything abrasive on your tattoo (disposable items only)
Avoid hot tubs, steam rooms, public pools, oceans and lakes during healing for 14 days
Avoid direct sunlight, FAKE TAN and tanning beds for 14 days
Avoid sweaty exercise for 7 days

FIRST 24 HOURS

Leave the second skin cover on for a minimum of 24 hours. It is best to remove the second skin in the shower, pull gently and slowly along the skin. Let the tattoo air dry, or pat dry with a paper towel. Please note: it is normal for there to be plasma residue, blood or ink build up when you remove the bandage.

DAY 2 - 14

It is important to wash your tattoo daily with a fragrance free or dermatology friendly body wash. Pat dry and apply DR PICKLES aftercare balm 2 - 4 times a day (wash your hands prior to applying the aftercare balm)

WEEK 2 - 8

At this stage, you can reduce the DR PICKLES aftercare balm to once a day. Tiny Tattoos use a finer needle, which deposits less ink into the skin. As a result your tattoo MAY require a touch up. Please send a healed photo to 22 TATTOO and your artist will advise if a touch up is required (8 weeks - 6 months).

FAQS

Can I bring someone to my appointment?

Unfortunately we do not allow you to bring additional people to your appointment. You must attend alone as we need to ensure our high standards of OH&S. We will take great care of you in our 1 on 1 service!
Can I be added to a waitlist?

Unfortunately 22 TATTOO does not have a waitlist.. Cancellations and last minute availability will be advertised via our instagram story.
Do you sell gift vouchers?

Yes! Digital gift vouchers are available to purchase:
What happens if I’m unable to attend my appointment?

If you’re unable to attend your appointment or need to reschedule / cancel the booking, you must contact us in writing at least 72 hours prior to your appointment. If the required notice is provided, we will happily adjust the booking accordingly. Failure to provide adequate notice of cancellation or reschedule requirements automatically results in the forfeit of non-refundable booking fee and the remaining cost of the appointment will be charged. No exceptions will be made. If a customer wishes to cancel the booking, the non-refundable booking fee will NOT be reimbursed.
How many times can I reschedule my booking?

If the required amount of notice is provided (72 hours prior), clients can transfer their booking over to a new date, within 12 months of initial appointment. Clients are permitted up to 3 reschedules of the initial appointment. If the rescheduling exceeds the limit, a new non-refundable booking fee is required for the booking?
Do I need a touch up?

Tiny tattoos or Fineline tattoos are generally a two-step process and a touch up may be required if the artist deems necessary. Please note, not all tattoos will require a touch up. We offer 1 complementary touch up between 8 weeks to 6 months. Please contact us via instagram DM with a healed photo of your tattoo, no sooner than 7 weeks after your appointment. If a touch up is requested by the client 6+ months after your appointment, a service fee will incur.
How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?

22 TATTOO is strictly 18+ and will not tattoo any minors, regardless of parental consent. Valid photo ID in the form of a passport, drivers licence or proof of age card must be brought with you to the appointment.
What areas will you not tattoo?

We do not tattoo the head, ears and face or below the ankle bone.
Can I get multiple tattoos in one session?

Of course! We offer discounts for bundle bookings (multiple tattoos for one person in one session). Please notify us prior to your appointment with all of the desired designs, sizes and placements for your appointment as they must be approved and quoted. We may not have time for new additional tattoos on the day of your appointment if we are not notified before.
How much will it hurt?

Pain varies between each person! We promise to take great care of you, be as gentle as we can and make you as comfortable as possible.
Can I use numbing cream?

Tiny Tattoos or Fineline Tattoos are typically smaller, quicker and less painful than traditional body tattoos. Numbing cream may have the ability to affect the texture of the skin, ink implantation and retention. Due to these reasons, we request you do NOT use numbing cream for your tattoo appointment.
Can I get tattooed while I’m on Roaccutaine or acne medication?

Unfortunately we do not accept clients that are on Roaccutaine or acne medication. We recommend to wait at least 6 months after you have finished the medication, or the duration of your course of medication (i.e medicated for 1 year then wait 1 year).
Can I get tattooed if I keloid scar?

Unfortunately we will not tattoo anyone who keloid scars. A keloid scar is caused by an excess of protein (collagen) in the skin during healing. They are a thick, raised scar that are often lumpy or rigid. If you are unsure if you keloid scar, please contact your doctor for confirmation.
How long will my tattoo take to heal?

It generally takes up to 2 weeks for the tattoo to ‘heal’ externally on the skin, however can take 8+ weeks for a tattoo to be deemed completely healed.
Can you tattoo over a scar?

Yes we can, however it will depend on how the scar has healed. Please be advised that the scarred area must be completely healed with no redness or abrasions around the site. Please contact 22 TATTOO with photos of the proposed scarred area so we can advise if we are a suitable artist for your tattoo.
What are your piercing age requirements?

As a professional studio, we have a higher standard of care than the minimum legal requirement. Therefore, we will only pierce people who are 16yrs+ and have parental / legal guardian consent.
How much will it hurt?

Pain varies between each person! We promise to take great care of you, be as gentle as we can and make you as comfortable as possible.
How long will my piercing take to heal?

Different Piercings have different healing times, and different people may take longer to heal. Please see our healing time guide in the piercing aftercare section.
Are all piercings suitable for everyone?

Each person’s anatomy is different and therefore not everyone will be a suitable candidate for the requested areas. If we are unable to pierce the desired area, your piercer will be able to guide you to alternative options on the day or can credit the non-refundable booking fee for you to use in the future.
Do I have to downsize my piercing?

You will initially be pierced with a longer bar to allow room for swelling. Leaving long jewellery in after your piercing has finished healing will make it prone to catching or snagging on your hair and clothing, and pushing down on the skin when sleeping. This trauma may cause piercing bumps that can lead to migration of your piercing, causing it to move and look crooked. Please return to us at 6-8 weeks to downsize your piercing.
Can I downsize my piercing jewellery myself at 6-8 weeks?

We strongly advise against changing your own jewellery in a freshly pierced area. We always recommend booking in a downsize or change over appointment to ensure the piercing is ready to be changed and is healing correctly.
Can I get pierced if I keloid scar?

We will not pierce you if you keloid scar. Please note, it is common for people to confuse irritation bumps with keloid scarring and recommend you do your research between the two.
I think my piercing is irritated or infected?

Please contact your piercer straight away.
Can I have a ring / hoop in my piercing straight away?

We will never-ever pierce using a ring (unless it is a septum or daith) due to these reasons: INFECTION: rings are circular objects, therefore can pull dust, dirt and bacteria through. Studs will hold the nasty stuff on top of the stud, and won’t transfer through the fresh channel. MIGRATION: rings put a lot of strain and stress externally on the piercing, causing it to pull and move in the skin. HEALING: we pierce straight, and want it to heal straight. If you use a ring, it will curve and not allow the area to heal correctly.
Is jewellery included in the cost?

Yes, all piercing pricing includes our standard jewellery range.
Can I bring my own jewellery to my piercing appointment?

For safety and hygiene reasons, we do NOT allow you to bring your own jewellery to your piercing appointment.
Do you use a needle or a gun?

We exclusively use single-use needles for piercing as they provide more precise and less traumatic results compared to piercing guns.
