FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I book a tattoo?
To book in a tattoo with Rosa, you can submit a booking form via her website or email her at tamarillo.tattoo@gmail.com
What information do I need to include in my booking?
Your age (Rosa only tattoos individuals 18+ regardless of parental consent), description of flash or custom design, desired size and placement of the tattoo, reference photos, a budget if you have one, and any additional comments or questions.
Is the booking fee in addition to my quote?
No, this will be deducted from the total cost of your session on the day.
What are your hours?
Rosa is usually in the studio tattooing Sunday - Wednesday.
Where are you located?
Rosa tattoos at the Enchanted Realm studio in Wellington. Enchanted Realm is located at Shop 2, 189 Ohiro Road, Brooklyn, Wellington.
You can catch the number 7 Kingston Bus from the city if you’re taking public transport.
When will I see the tattoo design?
On the day of your booking. This way, you can talk directly with Rosa when you come to your appointment, which is why we gather all the information for the wanted design beforehand to do our best to get everything right. This collaboration allows you and Rosa to produce a design you are happy with before you start.
Please inform Rosa in advance if you have any major changes/adjustments to the concept you booked for. She will try to be as accommodating as possible; however, if you wait until the day of your appointment to let us know rather than in advance, we may need to rebook you, and/or additional fees may apply.
What is flash?
Flash is a one-off design that is predawn and only tattooed once. These flash designs are sold as is, with only minor alterations to sizing being made. However, if you do like a flash design but want tweaks, please feel free to get in touch about a custom piece that may have a similar concept.
What should I do to prepare?
Before your tattoo, drink plenty of water and keep your skin moisturised. Avoid excessive caffeine consumption, and avoid alcohol for 48 hours before your tattoo. Avoid painkillers or any other blood-thinning medication. To reduce plastic use, please shave the area where you’d like to get the tattoo the morning or the night before your appointment. Even baby hairs need to be shaved.
Please see the booking information Rosa sent after your appointment was confirmed for more information.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that makes the area where you are getting tattooed easily accessible. For example, wear a button-up shirt that can be worn backward for a back placement, loose shorts for a thigh tattoo, etc. Feel free to ask if you want advice for a specific placement!
What should I bring with me?
Water and snacks (readily available energy like carbs/sugar are excellent snack options! Muesli or protein bars, sandwiches, rice crackers, and sweets are also awesome options.) If you are booked for a full-day session, plan to pack a substantial lunch or have a look at takeaway options nearby.
How do I pay?
We accept cash and bank transfers as payment options on the day; eftpos is unavailable. If needed, there is an ATM near the studio.
Deposits must be made via bank transfer.
