General Questions
Here are my tips for a successful and easy tattoo session.
1. Don’t drink alcohol the night before2. Stay hydrated — drink a lot of water
3. Shave and moisturise the area you’ll be getting your tattoo
(if you’re able to reach! If you can’t, I’ll do it for you when you arrive)
4. Have a good night’s sleep the night before
5. Have something to eat at least 4 hours before your appointment
6. Keep the caffeine intake on the day to a minimum
7. Avoid getting sunburnt and steer clear of fake tans
8. Do not take any blood thinners (ibuprofen, aspirin) before your appointment or the day before
9. Wear clothes that you’re not worried about getting ink on (just in case)
10. Don’t plan anything importatnt after your tattoo (the appointment duration might vary and you might also feel little tired)
Pregnant: You strongly should NOT get a tattoo when you are pregnant.
Breastfeeding:
According to Australian Breastfeeding Associcion no negative impacts to babies have been reported after a mother has received a tattoo when breastfeeding. Please double check with your GP as every case is different. If you like to read more about it here is the link:

Excitement is good, but nervousness is unnecessary. The way I work, it really isn’t a painful experience. Women, in particular, have a higher pain tolerance than men (and if you’ve given birth, even more so!)
If you’re a first-timer, I want you to know that it’s completely ok to speak up if something doesn’t feel right for you. In fact, I want you to. Don’t be afraid to communicate, I want you to be completely comfortable and excited!
If you’re concerned about permanence you need to feel confident in your choice. That being said, these days tattoos can be lasered off at any time! But don’t worry, I design with your wants and ideas in mind and there will be time on the day to make any adjustments together — I absolutely want you to leave the studio in love with your new tattoo!
Designs
I don’t do: behind the ear tattoos, male intimate areas, tattoos over scars, symetrical butterflies and moths, realistic wolfs and big cats.
I also don’t do: realistic portraits of family members (Including pets)
I usually work on the designs with the client on the day to ensure they are getting something they really love.
Sometimes, I may have them ready beforehand, but if there's anything you don't like, please let me know, and we'll change it together.
I’m ok with that. I never push anyone to do something they are not sure about.
It’s best to not get something you’re unsure of than to get it and regret it! I’ll absolutely support your desire to make a change. But if you do have a change in mind regarding a design you’ve been booked in for, reach out to me asap to see if we can make that happen or if we have to rebook.
Please keep in mind if you want to add to the design, increase its size or add an additional tattoo, more often than not these changes cannot be made at the same appointment and we will have to rebook.
I know planning a tattoo can be difficult, but it's a decision for your whole life. Unfortunately, I can't make this decision for you. Please contact me when you will be sure of what you like to get.
I’m happy to replicate another artist’s work, but on one condition. You have to purchase a consent from the original artist that gives you permission to have the design replicated by me. Otherwise, the design will have to change to ensure we’re not stealing another artist’s intellectual property.
That’s absolutely doable — you can buy it in my shop (custom design digital file).
I will send you 2 or 3 versions of the artwork in couple of days

There won’t be a waitlist as it's non effective for me. However on the occasion, cancellations do pop up, so please keep an eye on my Instagram channel and stories for any updates (@roza.fineline)
Cancellations and refunds
Yes you can, but due to the large number of cancellations tattoo artists receive (cold feet can be normal!), I have a 48-hours notice policy which I'll send to you when you make your initial booking.
All deposits are non-refundable. The deposit is the cost of administrative work needed to book the appointment. Please make responsible choices!
If you'd like to see the design before your appointment, just let me know! I'll send you a discount code so you can buy it at a lower price, try it out, and let me know if you'd like any changes before we go ahead with the tattoo.
