How much will my tattoo cost?
The price of a tattoo depends on several factors, including size, placement, detail, and the time required to complete the piece.
Once we’ve reviewed your enquiry and discussed the design, we’ll provide a clear price estimate before booking.
Larger or more detailed tattoos may require multiple sessions, which will be explained during the consultation process.
⸻
Do I see the design before my appointment?
Your artist will prepare the design in advance of your appointment.
Designs are typically shown on the day of your session, where we can make small adjustments if needed to ensure the piece fits the placement and works perfectly with your body.
This allows the design process to remain focused and ensures each piece is created specifically for the client and placement.
⸻
Do I need to leave a deposit?
Yes. All tattoo appointments require a non-refundable deposit to secure the booking.
The deposit is deducted from the final cost of the tattoo and confirms your appointment in our schedule.
Full details can be found on our Deposits & Booking Policy page.
⸻
What should I do before my appointment?
To ensure the best possible experience, we recommend:
- Getting a good night’s sleep before your appointment
- Eating beforehand so your blood sugar is stable
- Staying well hydrated
- Wearing comfortable clothing that allows access to the tattoo area
Avoid alcohol the night before your appointment, as it can affect the tattooing process.
⸻
Can I bring someone with me?
Our studio space is designed to be calm and comfortable for both clients and artists.
For this reason, we ask that clients attend their appointment alone wherever possible.
If you require support or assistance, please let us know in advance.
⸻
How long will my tattoo take?
The length of your session depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
Some pieces can be completed in a single session, while larger work may require multiple sittings.
Your artist will discuss the expected time frame when confirming your booking.
⸻
Do you offer consultations?
Most tattoo enquiries can be discussed online when submitting your request.
If needed, we may arrange a consultation appointment to discuss the design, placement, and scale in more detail before booking the tattoo session.
⸻
How do I care for my tattoo afterwards?
Your artist will explain the aftercare process at the end of your appointment and provide clear instructions to follow while the tattoo heals.
Following proper aftercare is essential to ensure the tattoo heals correctly and maintains the best possible appearance.
⸻
How do I book a tattoo?
Tattoo appointments begin with an enquiry.
Use the Tattoo Enquiry form on our website to send through your idea, placement, size, and reference images if you have them.
Once we’ve reviewed the details, we’ll guide you through the next steps for booking your appointment.
Can you copy a tattoo I’ve seen online?
We’re happy to use reference images as inspiration, but we do not directly copy another artist’s work.
If you have a design you like, you’re welcome to include it with your enquiry. Your artist will then create a custom design inspired by the idea, adapted to suit your placement and personal style.
This ensures every piece is unique and designed specifically for you.
⸻
Can I use numbing cream?
Some clients choose to use numbing cream for longer sessions.
If you’re considering this, please speak with your artist before your appointment. Certain products can affect how the skin behaves during the tattoo process, so it’s important to ensure the correct type is used.
We can advise on whether it’s suitable for your session.
⸻
Can I bring my own design?
Yes — if you already have a design idea or concept, you’re welcome to include it with your enquiry.
Your artist may make adjustments to improve the design, placement, or longevity of the tattoo, ensuring the final result works well with your body and will age properly over time.
Our aim is always to create a piece that both looks strong on the day and continues to look good for years to come.
