Questions people ask
Does UV ink hurt more?
No. It goes in the same way as colour. It can take a touch longer because we work the layer twice, which is why we quote about 20% more time.
How long does colour take to heal?
The surface settles in about two weeks. The colour fully drops into place around week six. That's why the free touch-up is held for 7 weeks.
Can I bring a friend?
One friend, yes. The studio is small and it's a solo setup, so any more and it gets crowded fast.
How do deposits work?
₹2,500 holds your date and comes off the final price. Reschedule free up to 48 hours before. Inside 48 hours the deposit is forfeited.
Why does UV need a patch test?
UV pigment behaves differently on different skin. A 10-minute patch test at least 14 days ahead tells us how yours reacts before we commit to a full piece.
Aftercare
- 1Keep the wrap on for the first 4 hours, then wash with clean hands and plain soap.
- 2Pat dry. A thin layer of unscented moisturiser, twice a day.
- 3No pools, no river, no gym sweat sessions for two weeks.
- 4Keep it out of direct sun. Sun is the fastest way to dull colour.
- 5It will flake. Don't pick it, however satisfying that sounds.
- 6Anything red, hot or angry after day three, message us with a photo.
