Question 7

Do you draw them on first?

Yes, at Taupe Studio, no design is tattooed without your consent. Your input is encouraged throughout the whole process. Our experienced tattoo artists will work closely with you to create a design that is tailored to your preferences and unique style. You will have the opportunity to review and approve the design before getting tattooed, ensuring that you are completely satisfied with the final result. Your satisfaction and comfort are our top priorities, and we are committed to making your tattoo experience at Taupe Studio as personalized and seamless as possible.

Question 8

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

At Taupe Studio, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of our clients during the tattooing process. We use a local anaesthetic on the treatment area prior to tattooing to minimize pain, and most clients feel quite comfortable throughout the appointment. It is important to note that the numbing cream needs to be purchased by the client due to current regulations. However, further information regarding anesthetics is available on booking to ensure that clients are well-informed and prepared for their tattooing experience with us.

Question 9

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

At Taupe Studio, most appointments are on average 2 hours. This time frame allows our talented tattoo artists to take the necessary care and precision to ensure your tattoo meets your expectations. We believe in quality over speed and want to ensure that your tattoo is a work of art that you can be proud of. This also allows for ample time for discussion, design adjustments, and breaks if needed during the appointment. Each appointment is tailored to the individual client and the complexity of the tattoo design, so the duration may vary, but 2 hours is a good average to keep in mind. If you have any specific questions about the duration of your appointment, feel free to reach out to us directly.

Question 10

Do I need a consultation?

Accepted Answer

At Taupe Studio, we prioritize understanding your vision and preferences for your tattoo. Consultations are included at the beginning of all tattoo appointments, during which we discuss your ideas and options in detail to tailor a unique design just for you. While pre-appointment consultations are not mandatory, we are always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet if you'd like to discuss your tattoo in person before your scheduled appointment. Just let us know if you'd like to set up a consultation or visit us before your tattoo session.

Question 11

Am I a suitable candidate?

Accepted Answer

For the most part, yes! Our tattooing techniques make it suitable for most clients. However, there are some restrictions to consider. Clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, under the age of 18, or have recently completed a course of chemotherapy or radiation are unfortunately not suitable candidates for our services. We advise consulting with your medical professional if you have any concerns regarding your eligibility for receiving a tattoo at our studio. Thank you for understanding our commitment to the safety and well-being of our clients.

Question 12

Will my hair be removed?

Accepted Answer

No, thankfully! The idea of cosmetic tattooing is to work with the body, including the hair, to get the most natural-looking tattoo possible. Stray hairs outside of the area may be removed so there is no maintenance during your healing process. Our approach at Taupe Studio is to embrace and enhance your natural features, so you don't need to worry about removing any hair before coming in for your appointment. Our skilled artists will work with you to ensure a seamless, low-maintenance and beautiful result that complements your unique features.

Question 13

Do you sell gift vouchers?

Accepted Answer

Our gift vouchers are available for purchase online and can be customized to fit any budget or tattoo idea. Whether it's for a friend, family member, or loved one, our gift vouchers make the perfect unique and personalized gift. Recipients can use the voucher towards any tattoo services offered at our studio, from custom designs to touch-ups or even cover-ups. We believe that tattoos are deeply personal and meaningful, and our gift vouchers reflect that ethos by allowing the recipient to choose the service or products that resonates with them.

Question 14

How long does it last?

Accepted Answer

At Taupe Studio, the frequency of color boost for your tattoo varies per person. Most clients will opt for a color boost around 18-24 months, while some may go longer before needing a touch-up. We understand the importance of keeping your tattoo looking fresh, which is why we offer colour boosts to ensure your tattoo maintains its vibrancy and clarity over time.
