Book a free consultation

Pick a time with the artist you'd like. Thirty minutes, in the studio or by video, no obligation.

PreviewOnline booking appears here once the studio connects its Cal.com calendar. Until then, call or send a message and we'll find a time.

From an idea to a healed tattoo

Most custom pieces take two to six weeks from the first chat to the chair.

  1. Consultation

    Thirty minutes with your artist, in the studio or on a video call. Bring references, the placement and a rough size; we'll talk about what will age well.

  2. Deposit and design

    A £50 deposit books your date and pays for the drawing time. You see the design on the day, and we adjust it together before the stencil goes on.

  3. Session

    Eat well, sleep well, no alcohol the night before. We place the stencil, check it in the mirror with you, then start.

  4. Heal and touch up

    Follow the aftercare guide for two to four weeks. A touch-up in the first three months is free, if you followed it.

Deposits and gift vouchers

Pay a deposit for a booked session, or give someone a voucher for their first tattoo.

Questions before you book

How old do I need to be?

18, for every tattoo and every piercing, with no exceptions, even with a parent's consent. Bring photo ID (a passport, driving licence or PASS card) to every appointment: no ID, no tattoo.

What ID do you accept?

A passport, a photo driving licence or a PASS card, in date and in your name. Photos of ID on a phone aren't accepted.

How much will my tattoo cost?

It depends on size, detail and placement, not on the number of colours. Your artist quotes at the consultation; nothing is tattooed until you've agreed the price. The studio minimum is £80.

Do touch-ups cost extra?

One touch-up within three months is free, as long as you followed the aftercare. After that, or for older work, touch-ups are charged at the studio minimum.

Can I bring a friend?

One person, yes. The room is small and other people are being tattooed, so no children and no pets.

Can you tattoo over an old tattoo?

Often, yes. Cover-ups need a consultation in person so the artist can see the old ink; darker, larger designs cover best.

What if I need to cancel?

Move your date once with 48 hours' notice and the deposit moves with it. Later than that, or a second move, and the deposit is kept for the drawing time.
