If you provide less than 48 hours notice your deposit will be forfeited to cover the artists time.

We have the right to cancel your appointment (and deposit will be forfeited) if you arrive under the influence or otherwise unable to be tattooed. We may cancel your booking if you arrive more than 20 minutes late to your appointment, depending on the circumstances- please be on time!

If you're running late (we know these things happen) please let us know as soon as possible to be able to accommodate for this.

In most cases, a free touch up will be offered between 8-12 weeks after the last session, it is your responsibility to book this in during these time frames to qualify for the free touch up if needed. However some places such as fingers, palms, hands, feet and any other area stated prior will not qualify for a free touch up and will cost the minimum charge rate of £40

Before you book your appointment please check your medication to see if we are able to tattoo you. If any of the following are relevant to you this may effect if youre able to recieve treatment:

Heart disease

Diabetes

Skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis

A weak/compromised immune system

Blood disorders

Taking any regular medication (such as blood thinners)

Currently undergoing medical treatments

Any relevant allergies (latex, metals etc)

If any of the above are relevant to you please check with us before making an appointment, we may advise you to consult with your doctor- we need to be aware of these things as they can affect the quality of your tattoo both during the session and throughout the healing process. This may even mean your procedure cannot be done at this time for health and safety reasons.

After your initial inquiry, hopefully you have a date secured for your appointment! Here are some steps to take before your appointment:

1) Drink lots of water prior and remember to keep hydrated!

2) Prepare your skin by moisturizing the area daily at least a week before

3) Be careful not to have any sunburns or open wounds in the area you are wanting tattooed as we will not be able to tattoo over them.

4) Don't consume alcohol or drugs at least 24 hours before your appointment, this thins the blood and can effect the tattooing process.

5) Make sure to eat a healthy amount before your appointment, this will keep your sugar levels up and prevent any risk of feeling faint/dizzy.- We have snacks and drinks available on site but feel free to bring your own too.

6) Feel free to bring any home comforts! for suggestion, a blanket, headphones, tablet, a book anything you might need to make you comfortable and keep you entertained during your session.

Initially we will go over the design with you and make any small changes you were wanting and agreeing on a size, we will then produce a stencil- after cleaning down the skin this stencil will be applied. Please look thoroughly at your stencil and make sure you are 100% happy with the design, size, placement- we are happy to make any changes until you are so please don’t hesitate to ask!

Please let us know if you start to feel unwell or need a break, this is normal and expected during the tattoo process and we would rather know so we can prepare and assess the situation and change anything to make you feel more comfortable. We can take as many breaks as you need throughout and are happy to stop and continue at a later date if it gets too much to bare.

Each artist will have their own aftercare advice which will be thoroughly explained during your appointment. It is important to follow this advice as instructed to ensure a smooth healing experience for your tattoo.

Please contact us immediately if you have any concerns regarding the healing process, we're here to help!

Each body piercer may provide different aftercare advice, please listen to your piercer.

1) Always remember to wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap before touching the area. Avoid unnecessary touching, scratching or picking- this can cause irritation, infection and can slow down the healing process.

2) To clean your new piercing we recommend using a weak solution of sea salt water- to do this use freshly boiled water which has cooled to a luke warm temperature and add a small pinch of sea salt. After it has dissolved soak the area with a cotton pad for 2 minutes, repeat this twice a day for the next 2-3 weeks. After this time period you can slowly reduce how frequently you need to do this.

3) Refrain from swimming or submerging your piercing in water for at least 2 weeks, you can shower as normal - take care to avoid any shampoo, body wash etc to get into the piercing.

Please do not use cosmetics or any other non recommended products in or around the piercing site.

4)Do not change the jewelry it has been pierced with until the minimum recommended changing time (this varies depending on how long you take to heal personally and which type of piercing it is, please ask your body piercer for advice) Your piercing may not be fully healed after this time so if you are changing yourself ensure you replace the jewelry as efficient as possible - we do offer a service to do this for you if you're unsure.

5) Each piercing heals differently- any healing time given is only an estimate- your initial piercing may have been performed with a larger bar to accommodate for swelling, you can usually downsize this after 6-8 weeks for a better fit.

6) Remember the piercing is your responsibility once you leave the studio, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact us, we're happy to help!
