To initiate your tattoo process at Forever Art Tattoo,  submit an enquiry form here. Our team will review your submission and reach out to discuss your concept and next steps. We offer free consultations at our Palmerston North studio to ensure your tattoo's design is the best it can be. 

Consider the significance, size, placement, and how the design aligns with your personal style or the story you wish to tell. Think about longevity and how the design may age with your skin. Researching styles and reflecting on what resonates with you can also help clarify your vision.

We offer a free tattoo consultation to help bring your vision to life at our tattoo studio in Palmerston North.

You are encouraged to bring your own design or ideas as a starting point. While our artists can work with you to refine and adapt your design, choosing from an artist’s portfolio is also an option if their style aligns with your vision.

The design process begins with a consultation to discuss your ideas and preferences. Your artist will then create a draft based on your discussions. You'll have the opportunity to review and request adjustments until you're satisfied with the final design.

The cost of your tattoo at Forever Art Tattoo is influenced by several factors, including the complexity of the design, its size, and the time it takes to bring your vision to life. Following an initial consultation and once we've agreed on a design, we'll provide you with a personalised quote. Depending on the nature of your chosen artwork—whether it's a larger, detailed piece or something smaller—our pricing may be set per project or on an hourly basis for more elaborate designs.

Absolutely, our team at Forever Art Tattoo specialises in cover-up tattoos. We begin by evaluating your current tattoo and then work closely with you to explore design options for the cover-up. Our aim is to ensure that the new tattoo not only seamlessly covers the previous one but also aligns with your personal style and preferences.

Following your design consultation and after you've settled on a design and quote, we'll arrange your tattoo session. To confirm your booking, a deposit might be necessary, which will then be deducted from the total price of your tattoo.

Make sure you're well-rested, hydrated, and have had a substantial meal before coming in for your appointment. It's important to avoid alcohol and blood thinners for 24 hours beforehand. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the part of your body getting tattooed.

Adhere to the aftercare guidelines given by your artist. These instructions usually involve maintaining the cleanliness and moisture of your tattoo, steering clear of sun exposure, and refraining from immersing the tattoo in water for a certain duration. Different stages of the healing process may necessitate varied care methods.

Yes, clients must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo at Forever Art Tattoo. Valid photo identification will be required to verify age before any tattoo services are provided.

We offer free touch-ups within the first few months after your tattoo is completed, excluding those on hands, feet, and some other specific areas. This policy ensures your satisfaction with our work, though some conditions may apply.

The sensation of pain during tattooing differs widely among individuals and is also influenced by the tattoo's placement on the body. Typically, fleshier areas such as the thighs or upper arms are less sensitive, while locations closer to bones, such as the ankles or ribs, may be more uncomfortable.

Many find the process manageable, and some even consider it therapeutic. Our artists at Forever Art Tattoo are proficient in making the experience as comfortable as possible for you.
