Tattoo Appointments

All our artists run by a tattoo appointment system

We advise arranging tattoo appointments some time in advance due to the popularity of the tattooists and high quality of their work. Naturally, if you were to come to the studio and there were appointments available on the day, we would always endeavour to fit you in.

Use the form to book your free online consultation with our artists.

Please include size (cm/in) and placement of tattoo and send any references or ideas and we will be able to help you.

We welcome and advise consultation appointments, and of course, these are free of charge. Consultations are an invaluable opportunity to get to meet your tattooist, to discuss and plan your designs in advance.


    BEFORE TATTOO APPOINTMENTS

    • We cannot under any circumstances Tattoo you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
    • Keep your skin moisturized and body well-hydrated for a few days prior to your appointment.
    • Eat a balanced dinner and get a good night’s sleep (at least 6-8 hours).
    • DO NOT take alcohol or drugs for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
    • DO NOT shave the area you’re getting tattooed. The artist will do this for you to avoid cuts and scratches.

    ON THE DAY

    • Wear something loose and comfortable. Your clothes may get dirty from ink.
    • Please remember to shower and apply deodorant prior to your appointment.
    • Eat a big breakfast/lunch before coming to the studio.
    • Bring some sweets or chocolate with you.
    • Bring a sports or energy drink
    • Feel free to bring things to keep you entertained (e.g. headphones, book, magazine).
    • The artists will NOT copy another person’s tattoo. They can use a basic idea and draw something similar.
    • Only small changes to the tattoo artist’s design can be made. We hope you have booked in with us because you are pleased with the artist’s style and quality of work.
    • It is illegal to tattoo someone under the age of 18. We will ask for photo identification so do not forget to bring VALID PHOTO ID! Please note we only accept original ID; photocopies/photographs of ID will not be accepted. You will lose your appointment and deposit if you fail to produce appropriate ID.
    • Only the person getting tattooed will be allowed in the booth, so please do not bring anyone with you to your appointment. Friends and family can distract the tattoo artist when they’re trying to concentrate.
    • PLEASE SHOW UP ON TIME. DATE AND TIME CHANGES ARE ALLOWED 72 HOURS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT (NOT INCLUDING SUNDAYS). IF YOU ARE RUNNING LATE PLEASE GIVE US A CALL. ALSO NOTE WE HAVE A THREE STRIKES RULE. IF THE APPOINTMENT IS MOVED FOR ANY REASON THREE TIMES, YOUR DEPOSIT IS FORFEIT.
