Got Questions?

Everything you need to know before your first (or next) tattoo.

Do I need to book in advance?

Walk-ins are always welcome when we have availability — just come in! For custom work, large pieces or specific artists, we recommend booking ahead to guarantee your slot.

How much does a tattoo cost?

Pricing depends on size, detail and placement. Small tattoos start from £40–£80. We charge a minimum shop rate per session. Consultations are free — come in and get a quote with no obligation.

Does it hurt?

Every person and placement is different. Most describe it as a scratching or stinging sensation. Our artists are experienced in keeping you comfortable throughout the process.

How do I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Eat a good meal beforehand, stay hydrated, wear comfortable clothing that gives access to the area, and avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior. Arrive with clean skin — no lotions or oils on the area.

What is your minimum age requirement?

You must be 18 years of age or older to receive a tattoo. Valid photo ID is required. No exceptions — this is the law.

Can you cover up or fix an existing tattoo?

Absolutely. Cover-ups and reworks are something our artists specialise in. Book a free consultation and we'll assess what's possible and show you options.

What styles do you specialise in?

We work across all major tattoo styles — traditional, neo-traditional, realism, black & grey, geometric, dotwork, illustrative, watercolour and more. If you have a style in mind, just ask.
