"CROUCHY" CROUCH

Pick your rough session length, lock a slot, drop the deposit. You'll get a Booking ID — DM @crouchytattoos with the ID, your reference photos and a short brief. We'll talk through the design before your session.

$180 AUD per hour, or $1,200 for a full-day session (about 8 hours). Custom pieces — final price depends on size, placement and detail. Crouchy will sort the quote in the DM once he's seen your reference.

Deposits are tiered by session length, lock your slot, and come off the final price on the day. Non-refundable — but transferable once if you reschedule with at least 72 hours notice. 1-2 hour pieces = $50. 2-4 hour pieces = $100. 5+ hour or full-day pieces = $200.

72 hours notice minimum, and you can reschedule once. Deposits are non-refundable but roll over to the new slot if you reschedule within the time frame. No-shows forfeit the deposit.

Crouchy finalises your design before your appointment, but no send-outs prior — you'll see it on the day, and changes you want can happen then. If you've got concerns leading up to the appointment, message him as early as possible.

Yes. Sometimes it's a walk in the park — small piece, easy to hide inside a new tattoo. Bigger jobs (full sleeves, etc.) take more planning and often multiple sessions. Crouchy will check whether your existing piece has been lasered or how light it is — both make life easier.

Yes — we stock numbing cream at the studio for $30 a tube. Worth it for longer or more sensitive pieces. Full directions for using it are on the aftercare page.

Honest answer: yes, but less than you think and you forget within minutes of finishing. Some spots sting more than others — ribs are spicy, forearms are pretty chill.

18+ — it's NSW law. If you're under 18, you'll need a signed consent form, written permission from a parent or legal guardian, copies of both your IDs, and a description of the style and placement, all on one piece of paper, handed in before or on the day. Done properly or your appointment gets knocked back.

Two weeks for the surface to heal, 2-3 months to fully settle in. Full aftercare instructions, healing timeline, and the products Crouchy recommends are on the aftercare page.
