TATTOO AFTERCARE
It can never be stressed enough how vital it is to look after your tattoo throughout it's healing process.
Whilst we'll do all we can to arm you with aftercare advice, after you leave the shop the well-being of your tattoo is in your hands.
There's a lot of conflicting information on the internet about the right and wrong ways of looking after your tattoo, but ultimately it falls down to your body's way of healing that determines the best type of aftercare for yourself. Some aftercare methods work well for some, other's not...
The advice we offer in the studio is one of the most tried and tested methods in the industry, and is suited to most skin types.
For your ease and convenience (and probably because you left your sheet at the shop-naughty), we've included a downloadable copy of our aftercare instructions, so there's no more excuses....
If you would like more information on our aftercare advice, or just healing advice in general, please call or e-mail the shop where our team will be happy to assist you!
GENERAL Q'S
What is the Legal Age to get Tattooed?
Here in the UK, you must be aged 18 years or older to be legally tattooed.
We ask that you provide photographic identification (passport/drivers license) when making a booking or attending a tattoo appointment.
Minors, even in the accompaniment of a parent will not be permitted to get tattooed.
How Much For A Tattoo?
Tattoo pricing is determined by a many number of factors. Whilst we endeavour to give you an accurate quote as possible, prices are subject to change e.g if a tattoo takes longer/shorter than originally anticipated etc.
Our price guides are as follows:
Minimum Charge: £80.00
Daily Rate: £700*
Hourly Rate: £100
​
The hourly rate applies to tattoos that will require 10+ hours or multiple sessions to complete.
For designs that fall under the 10 hour mark, they will be independently priced on size, location, detail etc...
​
* Please keep in mind that these are guidelines, for larger scale work some artists will charge differently depending on the project. We always recommend a free in person consultation to get an accurate representation of cost for larger work. Book your consultation today!
We only accept cash as payment.
How Do I Get a Quote?
The best way to get an accurate price as possible is to come and have a consultation with one of our artists.
We understand that sometimes this is just not feasible, so if you send us an e-mail including the following points, we will get back to you with a estimated quote:
1. The idea/design- it's always good to send over reference images for us to look at!
2. The size - you don't have to get specific. "Half the size of an iPhone 4s" will do.
3. The location- prices vary depending on the location of the tattoo, as some spots are easier to tattoo than others...
4. Black & Grey/Colour - prices will vary depending on the level of complexity of the palette
It is virtually impossible to provide a quotation over the phone- if you need to discuss a tattoo idea with us, please drop by the studio or e-mail us through the contact page.
