Please read and familiarise yourself with our Studio Policies before booking a Tattoo with us.
Age & Identification
Minimum age
By UK law, you must be 18 or over to be tattooed. Proof of age may be requested before your appointment.
Accepted ID
We accept valid photo ID only, such as:
- In-date passport
- UK driving licence
We do not accept b-lines, out-of-date passports, or birth certificates.
Booking with an Artist
To book with one of our artists, you can:
- Message us via our social media channels
- Submit an enquiry through the website booking form
- Email the studio with your ideas
- Call us, or pop into the studio in person
When getting in touch, please include as much detail as possible (for example: size, style, placement, and reference ideas). This helps us direct your enquiry to the most suitable artist.
Consultations
Once the right artist has been identified, you may be invited to the studio for a free consultation.
This is an opportunity to:
- Meet your artist
- Discuss your design in more detail
- Ask any questions you may have
If you are happy to proceed, your appointment can be booked at this stage.
Pricing
During your consultation, your artist will provide a rough cost estimate based on the size, style, and complexity discussed.
For larger projects (such as sleeves or multi-session work), prices may increase or decrease depending on the final level of detail and coverage.
Bookings & Deposits
- All artists manage their own diaries
- A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment
- Your deposit is deducted from the final cost of your tattoo
Leaving a deposit is mandatory. Without one, an appointment cannot be booked.
Deposit amounts are set by the individual artist and are non-transferable (they cannot be passed to another person).
Cancellations & Rescheduling
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 72 hours’ notice directly to your artist.
- Failure to attend your appointment will result in loss of your deposit
- Repeated cancellations may result in loss of deposit and a higher booking fee for future appointments
We understand that life happens and will always aim to be as reasonable as possible.
Bringing Guests
Due to limited space within the studio, we may not always be able to accommodate guests.
This is at the artist’s discretion. If you would like to bring someone with you, please discuss this with your artist in advance.
Private Tattooing Space
Most tattoos are carried out in a shared studio space. However, we do have a private room available for:
- More intimate placements
- Clients who require a quieter environment
Please request this when booking, as availability cannot be guaranteed on the day without prior notice.
Photography & Artistic Rights
We may photograph your tattoo (excluding your face) for portfolio and promotional use.
If you do not wish to be photographed, please let us know before your appointment.
Medical Conditions & Wellbeing
To ensure your safety and the best healing outcome:
- Any medical conditions or medications must be disclosed at the time of booking
- Please inform your artist of any allergies prior to your appointment
- Do not consume alcohol or recreational drugs 24 hours before your appointment
- Eat before your session and bring sugary snacks
- Contact us immediately if prescribed antibiotics or blood thinners before your appointment
- Avoid sun exposure prior to tattooing – we cannot tattoo over burnt or compromised skin
- We cannot tattoo over healing scar tissue, burns, eczema, psoriasis, or active skin conditions
- If you are unwell with cold or flu symptoms, please rebook when well
Aftercare
All artists may have slightly different aftercare advice depending on tattoo type, style, and size. Please always follow your artist’s specific guidance.
General Guidance
- Keep your tattoo clean at all times
- Do not pick, scratch, or itch while healing
- Avoid sun exposure, swimming, baths, and sunbeds until fully healed
- Use only recommended tattoo aftercare products
- Always wash your hands before applying aftercare
Cling Film Healing
- Keep the wrap on for at least 4 hours after leaving the studio
- Wash with warm water and antibacterial soap
- Air dry or pat dry with clean paper towel
- Apply a thin layer of aftercare
- Repeat 4–5 times daily until healed
Dry-Loc Pad Healing (Full Colour / Heavy Blackwork)
- Leave the first pad on overnight
- Remove the next morning, clean, and apply the second pad
- Do not apply cream before replacing the second pad
- Remove the second pad on day two and heal as normal
Your artist may adjust this process, particularly during summer months.
We recommend contacting us 4 weeks after your appointment so we can assess healing and discuss any potential touch-ups.
Refusal of Service
An artist reserves the right to refuse service at any stage if:
- They feel unsafe
- There is inappropriate, rude, aggressive, or violent behaviour
- It is not in the client’s best interest to proceed
- Agreement cannot be reached during the design or stencil process
- Numbing cream has been applied prior to arrival
- The client is unwell or on medication that may affect healing
Refund Policy
No refunds are given on tattoos.
Before tattooing begins, ample time is given to confirm design and placement. Please ensure you are fully satisfied before proceeding.
Refunds will not be issued for:
- Changing your mind after tattooing
- Allergic reactions or healing issues not disclosed beforehand
- Dissatisfaction due to skin texture or body response
- Negligence or failure to follow aftercare instructions
In rare circumstances where the expected standard of care has not been met, matters will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
