Tattoo
At DASHINKA we pride ourselves on creating one off, unique tattoos for our clients. No mass market tattoos here! When you get tattooed by us, rest assured we wont put the same design on anyone else. The only exception being if a group specifically ask for the same tattoo. When this happens, we wont tattoo the same design on any other group or individual.
We do colour tattoos on occasion but we specialise in black and grey realism, fine line, illustrative, geometric and dot-work tattoos. We take bookings for small tattoos such as names or symbols but priority will be given to portraits, animals and anime characters as these are some of our favourite tattoos to do.
We get a lot of requests for cover-ups, as a result, we have invested in a state of the art, medical grade laser tattoo removal machine and all the training that goes with it. If you want a cover-up, for the best possible results we recommend 2 - 3 sessions of laser tattoo removal first.

- Wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day, or as needed and apply a thin layer of your chosen aftercare product. Ask your artist if unsure on what aftercare product to use.
