Can a stencil be changed once printed?

Your tattoo design will be agreed on a computer before the stencil is printed. After this point we won't be able to change it or any spellings.

Tattoo after-care

Your tattoo will be dressed. When you remove the dressing, rinse the tattoo under lukewarm water and wash with clean hands using a mild soap [such as Sanex 0%]. Rinse the area with cold water and pat dry.

Showering is fine, but do not soak your tattoo or rub with a towel. Apply cream 2-3 times a day until your tattoo is healed. Your tattoo will scab whilst healing, do not pick or itch as this can affect the colour.

It can take up to 6 weeks for a tattoo to heal, a good indicator of a healed tattoo is that it is no longer shiny. The healing of your tattoo will depend on the size and how well your skin is taking the ink.

Avoid sun/sea/swimming for at least 6 weeks. This is due to the risk of poor healing and infection.

Itching is a very normal part of healing a tattoo. Do not pick or itch your tattoo. 

Avoid shaving your tattoo until it is healed. 

Remember to moisturise. Tattoo's matify into your skin so its important to keep your skin hydrated. Always wear SPF50+ on your tattoos.
