How Do I Care for My Tattoo / Healing Time?

Healing takes about a month, with the first two weeks being critical. Avoid sun exposure, swimming, saunas, and high-intensity workouts during this period. 1. After your tattoo is completed, Zealand Tattoo will apply a second-skin covering that stays on for 2-3 days. Its waterproof but must be removed immediately if plasma or ink leaks. 2. Clean the tattoo gently with warm soapy water, pat dry, and apply an aftercare cream like Bepanthen twice daily. 3. Do not pick or scratch the tattoo if it feels itchy; apply lotion instead. Avoid over-moisturising.

How Much Will a Tattoo Design Cost?

Pricing depends on the size, detail, and placement of your tattoo. Large, intricate designs cost more than smaller tattoos. Remember, your tattoo is a lifelong investment, so quality matters - you do get what you pay for in tattoos. You are more than welcome to come in with your ideas or send example images via email so we can discuss pricing with you.

What is the Cancellation & Refund Policy?

If you cancel, reschedule, or fail to show up for a booked tattoo appointment (secured with a deposit or pre-payment), the deposit is non-refundable. However, you can retain an in-store credit to use at Zealand Tattoo at a future date that suits you. Alternatively, the credit can be transferred to a friend or family member as a gift voucher, tattoo credit, or applied toward an online design. For more details, please get in touch.

Will It Hurt When I Get a Tattoo?

Tattooing involves some discomfort, but most people describe the sensation as a mild scratching or irritation. The pain varies depending on your personal pain threshold and the tattoos placement. If you need a break during your session, just let us know.
