I do not recommend using any form of numbing creams as non of them are regulated and can cause severe chemical burns and even sepsis. If you do really want to use numbing cream, I advise you do a patch test each time 72 hours and 24 hours before your booking. This is to ensure you do not have any allergic reactions to the cream. If redness does occur on the day, unfortunately the appointment will have to be cancelled and will still be charged the full payment.

Absolutely! I encourage you to browse through my portfolio. This will give you a better idea of my style of work and help you choose an artist whose style aligns with your vision.
