International Visitors & Holiday Bookings | Tattoos By Charlene

Visiting Johannesburg?

Tattoos By Charlene welcomes enquiries from visitors travelling to Johannesburg for holidays, concerts, family visits, business trips and layovers. Our South Studio is at 79 Xavier Street, Crown Gardens, Johannesburg South, 2091. We generally schedule bookings at South Studio unless you request another location and it is agreed in advance.

Plan ahead

Send your preferred dates, design idea, size in centimetres, body placement and any reference images as early as possible. Appointments are subject to availability. Where available, bookings may be arranged up to six months in advance.

Travel and healing

Please allow enough time around your appointment for travel, airport check-in and any onward plans. We cannot guarantee that a new tattoo or piercing will be suitable immediately before a flight, swimming, sun exposure or other holiday activities. Fresh tattoos and piercings need appropriate aftercare and can be affected by friction, water exposure, sun, dirt and travel conditions. Discuss your itinerary with us before securing the appointment so you can make an informed decision.

Quotes, deposits and payment

Prices depend on the service, size, placement, design complexity, jewellery and suitability. A 50% non-refundable deposit secures the agreed date and time, and the booking is confirmed only once the deposit reflects. Any international transfer fees, exchange rates or payment-provider charges should be checked with the provider before sending payment. We will confirm the available payment method and amount due directly.

Before your visit

Required consent and health forms must be completed before treatment. Bring valid identification and any required guardian documentation. Please disclose relevant allergies or health concerns and contact us in advance if you need accessibility or language support.
