FAQ

Answers to common questions about booking, pricing, safety and aftercare.

What is the legal age to get a tattoo at your studio?

18+. We require valid photo ID. We do not tattoo minors under any circumstances.

Are walk-ins accepted or do I need an appointment?

We mainly work by appointment. Walk‑ins may be possible if a slot opens up, but they are not guaranteed.

How do I book a tattoo session / how do I make an appointment?

Use the Pay / Book section to choose an artist and session length. After payment we will contact you within three working days to arrange a date and confirm the details.

How much does a tattoo cost and what affects the pricing?

Price depends on size, detail, placement and chosen artist. We offer half‑day and full‑day sessions; the final quote is agreed with your artist.

How long will my tattoo session take?

Small pieces can take under an hour; larger or complex work may require a half‑day, full‑day, or multiple sessions. Your artist will advise during booking.

What styles of tattoo do you specialise in (fine line, black-and-grey, colour, realism)?

Our team covers fine line, black & grey, colour and realism. Browse the portfolio and choose the artist whose work matches your idea.

Can I bring my own design or reference image for the tattoo?

Yes. Bring clear references; your artist will adapt them to fit the placement and your skin.

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment (what to eat, what to wear, what not to do)?

Sleep well, eat a solid meal, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol for 24 hours, and wear clothing that gives easy access to the area.

Can I get tattooed if I’m sick, pregnant, nursing, or on medication?

No if pregnant or nursing. If unwell or on medication, contact us first; we may need to reschedule or request medical clearance.

What should I expect during the tattoo healing process and how long will it take?

Initial healing is usually 1–2 weeks with full surface healing in 2–4 weeks. Mild redness, tightness and itching are normal.

What aftercare instructions do you provide for my new tattoo?

We provide written aftercare. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid soaking and sun exposure, and moisturise as directed.

How soon can I shower, swim, sunbathe or go to the gym after getting tattooed?

Short showers are fine once the first dressing is removed. Avoid swimming, saunas, sunbathing and heavy gym work for around two weeks.

Do you offer cover-up tattoos or laser removal referrals if I want to change an older tattoo?

Yes, we take on cover‑ups where suitable and can recommend reputable laser clinics if removal is the better option.

What does your deposit/cancellation/rescheduling policy look like?

Deposits are non‑refundable. Cancellations with under 48 hours’ notice or no‑shows forfeit the deposit. With notice we may transfer it to a new date.

How do I choose the right tattoo artist for my design and style?

Review the portfolio and pick the artist whose recent work aligns with your idea. We’re happy to advise.

Will my tattoo fade and will I need a touch-up later?

All tattoos fade over time. Protect from sun and follow aftercare; small touch‑ups may be needed later.

Is it safe to get a tattoo (hygiene, equipment, licence, infection risk)?

Yes. We use sterile, single‑use equipment and operate under licensed studio hygiene standards. Follow aftercare to minimise infection risk.

Can I pay by card, cash or do you accept online payments?

Yes. We accept cards in studio and online payments via Stripe. Klarna and Clearpay are available for eligible purchases.

What happens if I am under 18 or do not have ID?

We will refuse service. Bring valid photo ID to your appointment.

Do you provide consultations prior to booking the tattoo session?

Yes. Send your idea through the contact form; we can arrange a consultation with your chosen artist.

We aim to contact you within three working days after payment to arrange a date and confirm details.
