If you have an existing tattoo done by another artist, please do not book any services without first getting prior approval from myself. Please submit clear, makeup free photos of your existing tattoo to hello@studiocalypso.au for approval.
A cosmetic tattoo is a two part process, and therefor a touch up is required 6-10 weeks after the initial appointment. You will be booked in for your touch up while at your initial appointment.
Yes! We use two numbing creams - one for before the procedure and one used during. Upon booking in your initial appointment you will be sent an email outlining the two different ways for you to obtain such - picking up from a local compounding pharmacy, or having it shipped through a pharmacy service.
Yes. If you have ever had a cold sore you are a lifelong carrier of the virus. We recommend that you take preventative antiviral cold sore medication in the lead up to your appointment as a lip tattoo will more than likely cause a cold sore outbreak.
No. Getting a cosmetic tattoo, or any form of tattoo is unsafe whilst pregnant or breastfeeding. Please wait until you have ceased breastfeeding before booking in.
Unfortunately not. Acne medications create changes in the skin texture and thickness, which render it unsuitable for a cosmetic tattoo. Please wait at least 6 months after final dosage of medication. Failing to do so will result in poor healed results.
Please allow 3 hours for an initial appointment, and 2 hours for a touch up session.
Unfortunately we do not allow anyone in the treatment room other than the person undergoing the service. We ask you to please leave babies and children at home.
