FAQs

Please fill out the booking form. You can select from 2 options: 

1. Flash – Pick any pre-drawn design(s) from my Instagram. Flash designs will be available for limited repeats, typically around 2-3 times maximum. I am always open to altering and editing current flash designs to create a one-off, unique piece for you :)

​

2. Custom design – Customisations based on my flash or your idea. Please describe your idea as clearly as possible and attach reference images. Please note that I will create the custom artwork according to your idea, though the design itself will be executed in my own style. 

Just a heads-up: I don’t send out custom designs ahead of time. You’ll get to see your design on the day of your appointment, and we will have time to discuss the design at the start of the session. 

Minor modifications are welcome and I’m happy to make minor adjustments. If you’re after a big change or a whole new concept though, that would require a new deposit.

I'm tattooing from Milk Bar Studio, an appointment-only studio based in the heart of Melbourne/ Narrm CBD. 

My minimum charge is $150.

Pricing can vary depending on a few things—like the size of the piece, whether it’s a custom or flash design, where it’s going on the body, and how detailed it is.

​

Please submit an enquiry through my booking form so I can provide an estimate for your design. 

​

Discounts are applied for multiple tattoos done in one single session! 

To secure your spot, a deposit of $100–$200 (depending on your tattoo) is required. This goes toward your final cost and helps lock in your appointment.​

While deposits are non-refundable, you’re welcome to reschedule—just give at least 48 hours’ notice so your deposit can be carried over.

​

Once we’ve locked in a date and time, I’ll send you a payment link to finalise the booking.

​

If you need to make any major changes to your idea, please let me know at least 3 days before your appointment. Late major changes or short-notice reschedules may require a new deposit.

Yes, you're welcome to bring a friend! Please let me know beforehand. There’s a comfy couch where they can hang out, and they’re welcome to bring music, headphones, or a book to pass the time.

If you’re considering using numbing cream for your session, please be sure to let me know ahead of time. Some numbing creams can actually make the skin harder to tattoo, but I’m happy to recommend options that work well and guide you on how to apply them before your appointment.

Yes! If you notice your tattoo has faded or dropped out after one month, please get in touch with me for a free touch-up. Please note that touch-ups should be done between 1 and 3 months after your original session. 

Please make sure you bring an ID that shows proof of your age (e.g. a driver’s license or a passport). You must be OVER 18 years of age to get tattooed.

Try and get a good night’s sleep before your appointment. Do not drink or take any drugs prior to your appointment. Your body will react best if you are well rested and healthy before getting tattooed.

Try to eat a good size meal prior to and after your appointment if possible. Low food intake can cause dizziness and low blood sugar levels, which can cause discomfort during the session.

Please avoid the consumption of any alcohol/drugs or any anti-inflammatory pain killers (e.g. Nurofen, Advil, aspirin, Ponstan, Naprogesic, etc) at least 48 hours prior to your tattoo session as there is a risk that these medicines may thing the blood and consequently affect healing of your tattoo. Panadol is okay.

If possible, try to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing to your appointment. Something that will make it easy to access the area being tattooed and also won’t be too tight over the area afterwards.

Feel free to bring your own headphones to listen to music, read, or watch during your session.

We have water and lollies available at the studio but please don’t hesitate to bring your own drinks and perhaps a light snack. During the tattoo process, your blood sugar levels are likely to drop, so it is always good to have something on hand to boost them up again.

It is recommended to drink enough water every day during a week prior to your tattoo appointment. Being well hydrated is always a good idea and it will promote your new tattoo healing afterwards.

Please allow sufficient time for your tattoo session.
