§ 04 - The artist
Made with
curiosity.
I grew up in Cebu in the Philippines and began tattooing in 2015. Now based in Exeter, I'm known for ambitious portrait and realism work - and for the curiosity that keeps every new brief feeling fresh.
I work in colour and black and grey, from single portraits to full sleeves and leg projects, always building the artwork around the individual wearing it.

Keep it
beautiful.
Healing is part of the tattoo. These general answers support the personalised instructions you will receive after your session.
01How should I care for a fresh tattoo?
Follow the dressing and aftercare instructions I give you, as these may vary by placement and dressing type. When advised, wash gently with warm water and fragrance-free soap, pat dry with a clean towel and apply only the recommended aftercare product with clean hands.
02How long should I leave the dressing on?
It depends on the dressing used. A simple covering and an adhesive film have different timings, so use the specific instructions given at your appointment. If the dressing leaks, rolls up or causes a reaction, contact the studio for advice.
03Can I shower, exercise or go swimming?
A brief shower is normally fine once your dressing instructions allow it, but avoid soaking the tattoo. Keep it out of pools, hot tubs and saunas while it heals, and minimise heavy sweating, rubbing and tight clothing over the area.
04Is peeling or itching normal?
Some flaking, light scabbing and itching are a normal part of healing. Do not pick, scratch or pull at peeling skin - let it come away naturally so you do not disturb the ink or introduce bacteria.
05How do I protect the tattoo long term?
Once fully healed, moisturise the skin and protect the tattoo from strong sun with a high-SPF sunscreen. UV exposure can fade pigment over time, so consistent protection will help keep the work looking crisp.
06When should I get medical advice?
Seek medical advice if redness, swelling, heat or pain is getting worse rather than settling, or if you notice pus, spreading redness, fever or feel unwell. Contact your GP or NHS 111; severe symptoms need urgent care.
This is general aftercare information, not medical advice. If you are concerned, contact the studio and an appropriate healthcare professional.
