What to Expect
We want booking with Tabula Rasa Tattoo Studio to be simple, relaxed and transparent. Below is an overview of how the process works from first contact to your appointment.
Step 1: Get in Touch
You can contact us in whichever way suits you best:
- Enquiry form on our website (recommended)
- Instagram or Facebook direct message
- Phone
- Or by popping into the studio
When getting in touch, please include as much detail as possible:
- Size of the tattoo
- Style or reference images
- Placement on the body
- Any deadlines or preferred dates
This helps us match you with the most suitable artist from the start.
Step 2: Artist Allocation & Consultation
Once we’ve reviewed your enquiry, we’ll direct you to the artist best suited to your idea.
In some cases, you may be asked to attend a free consultation at the studio. This allows you to:
- Meet your artist
- Discuss your design in more detail
- Ask questions about placement, sizing and style
- Receive a rough price estimate
If you’re happy to proceed, your appointment can then be booked.
Step 3: Booking & Deposit
All of our artists manage their own diaries.
To secure your appointment, your artist will request a non-refundable deposit. This:
- Confirms your booking
- Is deducted from the final price of your tattoo
- Is mandatory for all appointments
Deposit amounts are set by individual artists and are non-transferable.
Step 4: Before Your Appointment
To ensure the best possible experience:
- Do not drink alcohol or take recreational drugs 24 hours before your appointment
- Eat beforehand and bring sugary snacks if needed
- Avoid sunburn or broken skin on the tattoo area
- Inform your artist of any medical conditions, medications or allergies
If you are unwell, on antibiotics, or taking blood thinners, please contact us as soon as possible to reschedule.
Step 5: On the Day
Please arrive on time for your appointment.
As we are a relatively small studio, bringing additional guests is at the artist’s discretion. If you’d like to bring someone, discuss this with your artist in advance.
We also have a private room available for those who need a quieter space or additional privacy. This must be requested when booking.
Cancellations & Rescheduling
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please give your artist at least 72 hours’ notice.
- Late cancellations or no-shows will result in loss of deposit
- Multiple cancellations may require a higher booking fee for future appointments
We understand that life happens and will always aim to be as understanding as possible.
After Your Tattoo
Your artist will provide full aftercare instructions tailored to your tattoo.
We recommend getting in touch around 4 weeks after your appointment so we can check healing and advise on any touch-ups if needed.
If you have any questions during healing, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
If you cant find what information you need, or have any other questions, no matter how small, get in touch!
