FAQ
- How do all of these details heal and hold up over time in Jenna’s work?
- Well, here’s the secret. All of Jenna’s designs are highly intricate and, as such typically you will need a minimum of two sessions to complete your commissioned piece. For fully commissioned pieces, the amount of time your piece will take depends on the placement area, intricacies of the design and also how well you sit. Therefore some times it is very difficult to predict the exact amount of time required, as every piece that Jenna creates is unique to each client. Each unique design involves a lot of fine line work, which in turn will cause swelling. When the skin swells this has an impact on the ability to saturate colour pigment into the skin, especially on certain areas of the body that are sensitive or prone to swelling. In additional to this, during the healing process your body will naturally try to push out the pigment, this will be your body’s natural immune response to what it deems as a foreign object under the skin and no matter what healing methods we use to try to trick the body into accepting all the pigment you will inevitably still loose a little bit especially with tiny lines. These secondary sessions are a chance to refine these areas, think of it as a second layer in a painting, this ensures that the details in your new piece of art look crisp and sharp for many years to come.
- Does Jenna take on cover up projects or add to existing tattoos completed by other artists?
- Sadly, No cover up or re-works of existing tattoos can be taken on unless the existing tattoo has been treated with laser to disperse the existing pigment prior. Jenna’s delicate style does not cover existing tattoos very well, therefore Jenna will not undertake any work that she knows will not achieve your expectations.
- Are there any areas of the body that Jenna will not tattoo?
- Most placement area's on the body are always considered. Facial tattoos will be considered on an individual basis, this depends on the design idea and area of the face intended for the tattoo.
- How far in advance is Jenna accepting new clients?
- Appointments for new clients are currently being taken for 2025, however you can purchase a 'fast Pass deposit' via Cocreate, priority of an appointment is guaranteed within two months after date of purchase.
