We Are a Cash Business

Please remember we only accept cash payments.

• If you’re unsure of the final price, there are ATMs close by. Please remember to bring your card.

• In rare circumstances, we can take a bank transfer, but this is not preferred.

Bring Only One Friend (If You Must)

We keep our space focused and relaxed.

• Our waiting area is limited.

• Our artists need concentration, and you need to sit still so we can guarantee the best result.

Stick With Your Booked Design

Please don’t come in with a brand-new idea on the day.

• Your artist has set aside time and prepared your design in advance.

• Small changes can usually be accommodated.

• Completely new ideas or too many revisions may mean you’ll need to rebook.

We value your time and ours—that’s why we prepare everything ahead of your appointment.

Wear the Right Clothing

Dress for the tattoo you’re getting:

• Leg tattoos → Wear shorts

• Back tattoos → Open-back tops or a button-up shirt worn backwards

• Avoid light colours if you don’t want clothes stained with ink or ointment.

Don’t Get Sunburnt

If you show up with sunburn in the area being tattooed, you’ll be turned away and may lose your deposit.

• Sunburn slows healing and makes tattooing unsafe.

• Keep your skin in good condition before your session.

Eat Before Your Appointment

A good meal is essential.

• Low blood sugar can cause fainting.

• A full stomach gives you the energy to handle the tattoo process much better.

Be Clean

This should go without saying: arrive clean and fresh.

• Good hygiene is essential for both you and your artist.

• It helps create the safest possible tattoo environment.

Final Word

We’re stoked to have you booked in at Stella Tattoo, Long Jetty. Following these steps will make sure your appointment runs smoothly, your artist can focus, and you walk out with a tattoo you’ll love for life.
