Buderim Tattoo + Piercing Studio
Tattoo FAQ's
For your safety, we’re unable to tattoo you if:
- You are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding. We recommend waiting until you have finished breastfeeding and allowing your body time to recover before getting tattooed.
- You are unwell.
- You are currently taking Accutane or have completed a course within the last 6–12 months. We recommend waiting 6–12 months after finishing treatment to ensure your skin has fully recovered and to minimise healing risks.
- You are taking antibiotics for an active infection.
- You have sunburn, a rash, an infection, cuts, broken skin, or any other skin irritation in the area being tattooed (including irritation caused by numbing cream).
If any of these apply to you, please let us know before your appointment.
Do I Need to Pay a Booking Fee?
What is the Minimum Age to Get Tattooed?
You must be 18 years or older to get a tattoo.
It is against the law in Queensland to tattoo anyone under the age of 18, regardless of parental permission. No exceptions!
All clients must bring valid identification with them on the day of their appointment.
Do You Accept Walk-Ins?
How Do I Book an Appointment?
You can book an appointment in any of the following ways:
- Social Media – Send us a message with a description of your tattoo idea. Please include the size, placement, and any reference pictures.
- Email – Provide details of your design, along with the size, placement, and reference images.
- Enquiry Form – Fill out our tattoo or piercing enquiry form, available on our website.
We do our best to respond as quickly as possible, but please be patient as response times can vary.
How Much Will a Tattoo Cost?
Tattoo prices vary depending on the artist and the complexity of the design.
Our studio has a minimum charge of $165.
Half-day and full-day session rates depend on the artist — please contact us directly for more information.
Do You Tattoo Fingers and Palms?
Not all artists in our studio offer hand, finger, or palm tattoos. Please enquire to confirm.
Can I Use Numbing Cream?
If you’re considering using numbing cream for your tattoo, please speak with your artist first. Numbing creams can affect the skin and how it responds during the tattooing process.
If irritation or a reaction occurs, we may not be able to tattoo the area. Your appointment will need to be rescheduled until the skin has fully recovered, and a new deposit may be required.
Can I Get a Tattoo While Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
For your safety and the health of your baby, we do not tattoo clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
We recommend waiting until you have finished breastfeeding and allowing your body time to recover before booking your tattoo appointment.
Do You Offer Touch-Ups?
Once your tattoo has fully healed (usually around 4–6 weeks), you may notice small areas that need a little extra attention. Each artist has their own touch-up policy, so please contact your artist directly to discuss their process and any associated costs.
Please note: tattoos on areas such as fingers, hands, feet, and necks are more prone to fading due to everyday wear and movement. These placements may require additional touch-ups compared to other areas of the body.
What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?
We accept both cash and card payments.
Please check with your artist prior to your appointment, as some artists may have a preferred payment method.
