What should I do before getting a tattoo?

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

Surface healing takes 1 to 2 weeks, but full healing beneath the skin can take up to 4 weeks. Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your artist, keep the area clean and moisturised, and avoid sun exposure, swimming and soaking during the healing period.

Yes, when performed by a licensed professional in a clean, sterile environment. At Jinked Tattoo Club we use single-use needles, sterile equipment, and high-quality inks. All clients complete a medical disclaimer form before tattooing. If you have certain medical conditions, we'll advise whether tattooing is safe for you.

Can I get a tattoo if I'm pregnant?

We do not tattoo anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding. This is a standard safety precaution across the tattoo industry. We're happy to welcome you back after your pregnancy and breastfeeding period is over.

How do I prepare for a cover up tattoo consultation?

Take a clear photo of your existing tattoo in natural light. Think about what you'd like to cover it with — darker, denser designs work best for cover-ups. Bring reference images of styles you like. Your artist at Jinked Tattoo Club will assess the old tattoo and suggest the best cover-up approach during your consultation.
