Rae
/ TATTOO ARTIST
Rae is a tattoo artist that specialises in a unique style. This style is a mix between micro realism, fine line & illustrative tattoos. Her style is light, dainty and great for patchwork style sleeves!
During tattoo sessions she loves listening to house music & soft indie rock and is always up for a chat!
Studio Etiquette
You can bring a maximum of one friend/family member along with you into the studio (unless it's a group tattoo booking). Other accompanying guests must wait in the reception area and cannot sit with you during the tattoo process. All friends & family must be over the age of 18, absolutely no minors in the studio.
Make sure that if you plan on bringing a friend/family member that it's someone supportive of your decision and someone that you trust to make you feel good/help you during the process : )
You must be over 18 and be able to present a valid ID.
Strictly no children allowed in the studio.
You can pay on the day with card, cash or Afterpay (afterpay incurs a 6% surcharge of the remaining cost of the service).
Bookings & Policies
Click the Pricing button below to find out an estimate for pricing and how long you'll need to book. Then click "Book Now" on the menu bar.
If you'd like a quote before booking or would like to book in multiple pieces/day session, please request a quote below.
Prices are determined per piece, not hourly.
All deposits are non-refundable. Please review the terms below carefully.
RESCHEDULING
To transfer your existing deposit to a new date, rescheduling must be requested at least 48 hours* before the appointment.
Rescheduling with less than 48 hours* notice is treated as a cancellation, resulting in forfeiture of the original deposit. The new date must be rebooked online.
The deposit can only be transferred once to a new date.
By rescheduling, you agree that canceling the new (rescheduled) appointment will result in complete forfeiture of the deposit, regardless of notice provided.
CANCELLATION
With more than 48 hours notice*, a portion of the deposit (minus a $50 fee) may be applied as credit for future bookings.
Cancellations within 48 hours* result in complete forfeiture of the deposit.
If a rescheduled appointment is cancelled, the entire deposit is forfeited without credit.
*Note: Full-day sessions require 72 hours notice.
My customs minimum is $130 (45 min appointment)
Depending on the session you book there will be a different deposit. The deposit comes out of your final tattoo cost, however it is non-refundable.
45 min - 1.5 hour sessions: $50 deposit
2 - 3.5 hour sessions: $100 deposit
4+ hour sessions: $200 deposit
48 hours notice must be provided if you need to leave your session earlier than agreed/have a change of mind/want less than you booked for, otherwise a session minimum of $180 per hour applies.
If the session goes overtime due to a late arrival, late fees may apply.
If we are unable to accommodate your appointment due to a late arrival, an additional 10% of the initial tattoo cost will be applied to the rescheduled date.
Prep & Aftercare
Before your appointment, please remember to...
- Ensure the area is clean and free of fake tan
- Wear something comfortable that allows me to access the area you wish to get tattooed
- Eat and stay hydrated beforehand
- Avoid caffeine, energy drinks & any blood thinning medication ahead of time
- Please let me know If you’re prone to fainting or if it's your first tattoo
- Please let me know in advance if you will be using numbing cream (highly advise against using numbing cream)
If you have an existing tan on, your fake tan must be a few days old (no fresh fake tan) and it will be removed from the tattoo area prior to the tattoo (I recommend skipping the tattoo area when doing your tan). If you plan to put on fake tan within 48 hours prior to your appointment, please avoid tanning the area you wish to get your tattoo.
You can fake tan again 2 weeks after your appointment!
I highly advise against using numbing cream for your appointment. I use very fine needles and as numbing cream swells the area it can be difficult to work in the ink and you may need touch ups. If you're nervous about your first tattoo, I promise you it won't be as bad as you may think it is, don't let your friends and family scare you : )
Designs & Customs
I don't generally send designs in advance unless I have questions about your design or it's quite complex. There's a few reasons why I don't:
- It's hard to communicate changes through messages, I allow time on the day for minor changes.
- I create customs based on chronological order of appointment and sometimes do up to 80 designs in a month! I unfortunately cannot push your design ahead of other people's designs.
- Sometimes sharing with friends & family can do more harm than good! Everyone has different tastes and whilst you may really love the concept/design and it may be personal to you, your friend/family member may not quite understand it or have a different taste in tattoos. Remember, it's your body and your tattoo <3
There is a redesigning fee of $50 per redesign (only if the entire tattoo concept is changed or requires a full redraw, this fee is not applicable to minor changes)
If you check out the 'pricing' tab in the menu bar you can read about customs pricing and request a quote for your custom tattoo : )
The cost of designing your tattoo is built into your appointment cost. I'll design it based on the inspiration photos that you send through as well as any extra information you send me!
- Foot tattoos - Inside of fingers or palms - Face or lip tattoos - Anything hateful
- Heavy black fill/heavy shading
- Traditional tattoos
- I also won't tattoo anything outside of my style or experience (check out my gallery or Instagram if you're unsure of what my style is like!)
*I do hand & finger tattoos (aside from the locations mentioned above), but please be aware that their healing is unpredictable and will require maintenance in the future.
