YOUR CONSULTATION

All our artists offer a free consultation service with no pressure to book, so that you can discuss your ideas. we will discuss the style, size and placement of your tattoo and can give advice on skin type and how you can expect your tattoo to develop over time. we might sketch up your tattoo directly onto your skin so that she can design something guaranteed to fit and flatter your body. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have concerning the tattoo process including preparation, aftercare and hygiene.

How do I go about designing my tattoo?

There best thing to do is gather reference images or list the things you want in your tattoo then contact us and we will determine who is best for the job.

All designs are drawn up for your tattoo date (changes can be made on the day if needed). If you wish to see the design prior this needs to be arranged with the artist & a fee may be charged. This is to avoid plagiarism.

Do you allow children in the studio?

Nope. Even if your child is exceptionally well-behaved, children do have weaker immune systems and it's not a good idea to have them in a tattoo studio.

Your artist can advise you on the total price depending on how long they think it will take them but unfortunately they can’t give exact prices in advance. This is because there are many variables when working with the skin. Work is usually charged by the hour or the day. Each artist has set rates and you will pay for the tattoo time you use. You will be required to pay a deposit when you book to cover drawing time and protect from late cancellation. This will be deducted from the final cost of the tattoo on the day or, if you have several full day bookings scheduled, we will roll it on to the next appointment to hold that date and it will be deducted from the final session.

Deposits, Vouchers, No shows and Cancellation are completely NON-REFUNDABLE
NO EXCEPTIONS.
