How much will my tattoo cost?

We charge £110 per hour for all tattooing time. The total cost depends on the size, complexity, and placement of the tattoo. Consulting with an artist is the best way to get an accurate quote.

Deposits:

• Deposit Requirement: All appointments require a deposit, calculated based on the time booked. This guarantees your slot.
• Deposit Policy: If you don’t pay the deposit within 7 days, your appointment will be canceled. Failure to give 48 hours’ notice of cancellation results in the loss of your deposit. Each artist may have their own cancellation policy, so please check with them before booking.
• Lateness: Arriving more than 15 minutes late may result in cancellation and loss of deposit. If you anticipate being late, call us to see if your appointment can still be accommodated.

Waiting List:

The waiting list varies by artist. Some artists can book you immediately, while others have a waiting list. Contact us for specific information.

Custom Designs:

• Creating a Design: Our artists can create custom designs based on your ideas. If you have a friend’s design, we may need to tweak it to ensure it works as a tattoo.
• Inspiration from Online Images: We won’t copy someone else’s tattoo but can use it as inspiration to create something unique for you.

Viewing Your Design Before Booking:

This is at the artist’s discretion. Our artists often finalize designs close to the appointment date. If seeing the design in advance is important, please let us know.

Cover-Ups:

For cover-ups, it’s best to visit the studio or send well-lit photos via email. This helps us assess the feasibility of the cover-up.

Bringing a Friend:

We prefer if you come alone due to limited space, but one friend can accompany you and wait in the reception area. If you need someone with you for anxiety reasons, let us know in advance.

Bringing Children:

Children are not allowed in the studio for safety reasons unless they are over 18.

What to Wear:

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting stained. For leg tattoos, wear shorts; for back or torso tattoos, bring a shirt, hoodie, or cardigan that can be worn backwards. We can provide a privacy screen if needed.

Piercing Services:

We do not offer piercing services.
