If you have any issues with your tattoo or require a touch-up you are required to notify us within three (3) months of the date of your scheduled appointment. Should you get in touch any later than 6 months after the appointment, you may be required to pay a fee for any further services provided.

No. Our artists do not send through previews/drawings of your design prior to an appointment. Rest assured, your design will be ready for you on the day of the appointment. Any changes required can be made on the day. To minimise changes on the day, ensure that you are very clear and concise when describing your tattoo idea to your artist. You may be required to come to the studio for a consultation prior to the appointment to discuss in person necessary.

No. Although, the laws of NSW state otherwise, Aquatica Tattoo has a strict, independent policy against tattooing persons under the age of 18, regardless of whether or not parental consent/permission has been obtained. In our opinion, it is better to wait.

Depending on an artist’s preference they may choose to close their bookings as a means to manage their time efficiently. During these closed periods only emails from clients with existing bookings emails will be attended to. Please be sure to check your artists booking information regarding their booking policy and reach out to the studio if you have any further questions. 

Your tattooist will talk you through your aftercare at the end of your tattoo. We also have a page explaining our recommended after care for tattoos linked here, aswell as all the necessary aftercare products available at the studio or in our online store for purchase.

The short answer is no. The biggest concern about getting a tattoo while you’re still recovering from pregnancy and childbirth is infection, which postpartum bodies are more susceptible to in general—especially once you consider the many other factors that can zap your new mom immune system, including sleep-deprivation, normal hormonal changes and the physical and emotional toll around-the-clock newborn care involves. Your body has some serious healing to do, not just in the first few weeks after your baby is born, but in the months that follow. Adding the injury of a tattoo (which punctures your skin, causes some bleeding and considerable pain) could hold up your overall recovery.

Aquatica Tattoo is located in Brookvale on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
