  • Each artist/technician has their own non-refundable deposit policy in place to ensure the booking is reserved so please contact them individually.

  • It is recommended to moisturise the area for at least 2 weeks before to prepare your skin to be tattooed.

    Please wear something comfortable according to the area you’re looking to get tattooed (We recommend black to avoid ink stains on your clothes).

    Please get a good nights sleep and make sure you have a substantial meal before your appointment.

    Please avoid drinking alcohol 12 hours before.

    You do not need to shave the area before your appointment, your artist will do this for you.

    If you have any other questions please contact your artist directly and they will be happy to advise you.

  • We would suggest eating prior to your appointment as you won’t be able to eat for a couple of hours after and brushing your teeth as normal the day of the appointment.

    If you wear a retainer, we suggest bringing it with you, though you may have a reduced availability for designs.

  • Each artist will have their own method of aftercare depending on the style of work and placement on the body. However we will always recommend you keep the area clean and applying a thin layer of tattoo specific aftercare, that can be purchased in the studio, with clean, dry hands only when the tattoo feels dry/tight or itchy.

    We also recommend clean bed sheets and keeping your tattoo covered if you sleep or work with pets.

    The tattoo healing process usually takes about one month, depending on the skin of the person and the tattoo aftercare. A fresh tattoo is an open wound with a risk of infection.

  • The studio entrance is at street level and step-free. We have a fully wheelchair accessible bathroom.
