  • The cost of your tattoo will depend on the size, placement and style. This information will determine how long the tattoo will take.

    Zoazy will always provide you with a quote as long as you can provide the above.

    Some pre-drawn flash designs are pre-priced but if you want changes to these designs (such as a larger size) this can effect the price.

  • Zoazy can tattoo styles such as:

    • Cute traditional

    • Blackwork

    • Colourwork

    • Ornamental

    • Fineline

    • Geometric

    She’s capable of all the above, but to see what she enjoys most, check out the available designs button below.

    • Get a good night’s sleep, stay hydrated, and eat a proper meal beforehand

    • Avoid heavy drinking the day before, and no alcohol or drugs on the day (otherwise I won’t tattoo you)

    • Wear clean, comfortable clothing that suits the tattoo placement

    • Bring snacks and a drink, especially for longer sessions

    • Try to arrive relaxed and on time, and avoid intense workouts right before your appointment

  • Right After Your Appointment

    • Your tattoo will be covered with cling film or wrap

    • Leave it on for the time I recommend

    • This protects the tattoo during the first few hours

    First Clean (Same Day)

    • Wash your hands before touching the tattoo

    • Remove the cling or wrap gently

    • Clean with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap

    • Use clean hands only and pat with dry paper towels — don’t rub

    If Using Second Skin

    • Some tattoos are covered with a medical-grade adhesive film called second skin

    • If applied, it can be left on for up to 5 days unless advised otherwise

    • Fluid build-up underneath is normal

    • Keep it clean and dry; avoid soaking and heavy sweating

    • If it lifts, leaks, or irritates the skin, remove it and start normal aftercare

    First Few Days (Days 1–4)

    • Wash gently 1–2 times daily once uncovered

    • Apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare product

    • Mild redness, warmth, and tenderness are normal

    • Wear loose, clean clothing

    Peeling & Itching (Days 4–14)

    • Flaking or peeling is normal

    • Don’t scratch, pick, or peel

    • Continue gentle washing and moisturising as advised

    What to Avoid

    • No swimming, baths, hot tubs, or soaking

    • Avoid direct sun and tanning beds

    • Skip heavy sweating, friction, and tight clothing

    • Don’t use scented or unapproved products

    Healing From the Inside

    • Stay hydrated and eat well

    • Get plenty of rest

    • Avoid excessive alcohol

    • Healing takes time — be patient

    Long-Term Care

    • Keep healed tattoos moisturised

    • Always use sunscreen to prevent fading

    When to Check In

    • Contact me if anything feels off

    • Speak with your doctor if you have excessive redness, swelling, heat, or pus, or feel unwell

  • Zoazy will get back to you within 24 hours about your tattoo booking UNLESS shes on a holiday.

  • I personally don’t advise using numbing cream before you get tattooed. I have never used one so I’m unable to suggest a reputable brand.

    Numbing cream can effect the texture of your skin and the outcome of the tattoo. So, for your safety and tattoo results, I don’t recommend using it before your tattoo with me.

    If you cannot be tattooed without the use of the numbing cream you must state this in your booking form to ensure we discuss this prior to an appointment.

  • Though the treatment room is small zoazy can accommodate one guest if you need support on the day.

    Please don’t come with lots of people as they will not all fit in the room whilst you are being tattooed.
