At Arcane Studios, we specialise in custom design and high quality tattoo services in Perth and Northbridge. With a range of artist skill levels, from ink veteran Gary Sampson’s decades in the industry, to talented juniors with a passion for high quality skin art, whatever the tattoo style you desire – we’ve got you covered.
Booking Your Tattoo Appointment
The first step in getting your dream ink is to contact the studio and let us know the design you are after.
We need to know the size, placement, and level of detail for the design, and if you want it in black and grey or colour. If you have a specific artist in mind, this is good to let us know as well, but we can connect you with an artist if you are unsure. Lastly, give us an idea of when you were looking at getting the tattoo done. We can organise a booking time that works for everyone.
A non-refundable deposit is required to lock in an appointment, which is a percentage of the price of the overall tattoo. This means that more expensive tattoos require a larger deposit. Once we have a deposit you’re locked in! We will see you on the day! Check out our full Pricing & Deposits Policy here.
Preparation: Before Your Tattoo Appointment
Please come in with a full stomach, and make sure you are drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated.
We cannot tattoo you if you are under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
The body needs to be in the best shape possible to heal the tattoo well, so make sure you are feeling healthy and energetic before your appointment!
You’ll also need to complete & sign our Tattoo Consent Form, which you can do at your appointment, or download here & complete in advance.
During Your Tattoo Appointment
We have water and lollipops available, and access to a private studio if required.
Clients can lay back and relax while the artist does their work! If you’re bringing a friend along, they can chill out in the comfy lounge area at the front of the studio.
Aftercare: Looking After Your New Tattoo
Looking after your new tattoo properly (known as ‘Aftercare’) is essential for ensuring your tattoo heals properly, without scabbing, and without losing pigment.
Taking care of it properly in the first 2 days and continuing for 4 weeks after the appointment will help make sure your tattoo looks great for years to come!
In the first 48 hours following your appointment, you’ll need to keep your tattoo covered with the Saniderm we apply at your appointment – it acts like a second skin and protects your tattoo from water, elemental exposure, and prevents scabbing.
