Tattoo
This is body tattooing: small pieces, agreed in advance, done in the same quiet room as everything else rather than a walk-in shop. It is not permanent makeup — I do not tattoo brows, lips or lash lines, and if that is what you are after I am not the right person. What I do take on is small work where placement and proportion matter more than scale, and where you want the time to get the design right before it goes on you permanently.

Design
We agree the design, the size and exactly where it sits before anything is opened. Nothing starts until you are happy.

02
Placement
Drawn on and checked in the mirror, in the position you will actually see it.

Tattoo
Single use, sterile, one client at a time.

Aftercare
You leave knowing exactly how to look after it for the next two weeks, which is most of how it heals.
Tattoo, honestly
- Is this permanent makeup?
- No. This is body tattooing. I do not do brows, lips or eyeliner — if that is what you want, you want a permanent makeup artist, and I would rather say so than take the booking.
- How big can it be?
- Small work only. Send a reference of what you have in mind before booking and I will tell you honestly whether it is something I should be doing.
- Does it hurt?
- It depends almost entirely on placement — over bone hurts more than over muscle. For a small piece, most people find the anticipation worse than the thing itself.
- How do I look after it?
- Keep it clean, keep it out of the sun, do not pick it, and use what I send you home with. The first two weeks decide how it looks for the next twenty years.
Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy that softens texture, scarring and fine lines by prompting the skin to rebuild itself.
Biostimulators
Regenerative actives driven deep into the skin by microneedling or electroporation — no injections — to rebuild where it has thinned.
High-Tech Treatments
Radiofrequency, cryotherapy, microcurrent and EMS — the treatments where the right device does something hands cannot.
