Infomation
I work from my private studio in Hamamatsu - Japan.
I work only with original artwork, that means I don't make copies of other tattoo artists, the projects are custom and unique to each client.
Every project is unique and exclusive for each customer.
Since it is a private studio, I only work with previous appointments.
Below I explain how the process is.
ATTENDANCE FLOW
Appointment
Get in touch via the form on the website, via LINE or via DM on Instagram (@_maruxo) and inform:
What you want to tattoo and the location of the body will be tattooed.
We will schedule a first meeting to talk personally.
Counseling
On the date that we schedule the first appointment we will talk about the project and give you an estimated price for the tattoo.
If everything is in agreement, we will reserve a date to realize the custom project.
To guarantee this reservation, a copy of a photo ID (driver's license, passport, residence card), fill out a tattoo consent form, and a deposit in the amount of 5,000 yen for design development (this amount will not be deducted from the project) will be required.
*Provide as much information as possible (size, location, meaning, etc.) during the design meeting
If you have reference materials such as photos it will also help the process.
Tattoo day
On the scheduled day I will present you with the finished project, if there are minor changes we can make changes on the spot, and, if the project as a whole changes, we will need to reschedule for a future date.
If at this new appointment, you do not identify with the proposal, a new appointment fee will be charged.
We will only perform the tattoo if we are both satisfied with the design.
On the day of the tattoo
- Avoid drinking alcohol and eating very fatty foods the day before the tattoo.
- Avoid getting skin exposed to sunlight days before the tattoo.
- Come completely rested.
- Hydrate and apply moisturizer on the place that will be tattooed.
- Eat before the session.
- Consider the place that will be tattooed and come with comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
- Bring only 1 (ONE) person with you.
I will Refuse treatment if the skin is sunburned or peeling.
Aftercare
To obtain good healing follow these steps:
- Keep the patch for 3 or 5 days, remove in running water and sanitize the tattoo, Wash your hand first and then lather the tattoo, avoid very hot water directly on the tattoo.
- Keep yourself hydrated, drink plenty of water.
- Let the tattooed area rest, so, avoid exercises for at least a week
- Avoid exposure to the sun, swimming pool, sea, sauna for 30 days.
- Do not eat fatty and heavy foods such as (pork, sausages, seafood) and even chocolate, cheese, milk derivatives, if consumed, be careful with the excess.
- Do not scratch or pull the peels that appear during healing..
- After the healing process, to keep your tattoo looking good, always hydrate and protect it from the sun.
After one month, please contact us to analyze how the tattoo healed, if I think it is necessary we will do a retouching for free within this period of the first month after the tattoo.
*Special attention in the tattoo's aftercare! It guarantees the quality of the work, therefore, I am not responsible if you do not follow the instructions and the tattoo does not heal in the right way.
If the client wants a retouching due to poor healing, a fee of ¥10,000 will be charged.
