We now have some covers in stock and production is underway on several designs.
I will be tattooing at The Great British Tattoo Show at the Olympia Exhibition Centre in London on the 21st and 22nd April.
Unfortunately we cannot tell you what to get, if you want to take a chance and give me the skin to do what I want then that is a different matter altogether. The best way to start is to research different types of tattoos and different tattoo styles on line, find a starting point and then decide if you want colour or black and grey, don’t worry about artwork that can be created for you, some reference material would be helpful but as long as you have an idea then in most cases that is enough information.
The best way to contact us is via the email contact page on the website. We will respond to emails within 24 hours, you will then be able to send us your reference material and any brief that you have written or rough sketches that you have done. We will be able to give you an estimate and booking information. Social media is possibly not the perfect route to contact us but it is an option. Phone calls are not great. Although you will believe you are doing a great job of describing your perfect tattoo: 9 out of 10 times we will not get it or be able to price it, 10 out of 10 times we will have had to put down a tattoo machine to pick up the phone.
You are welcome to walk in the studio but we do advise that you contact us via the website first to book a consultation, the artist may not always be able to stop to speak to you and if we can avoid disappointment then happy days.
Yes once you have decided to book you can pay a deposit here. The normal deposit is £50 and for an all day booking it is £200. ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. We have to state this as we would like you to be 100% sure you will proceed before you book with us, some people change their mind at the last minute or simply have not thought through their decision before placing a deposit, this usually creates confusion and paperwork, hence NO-REFUNDS, the few spoil it for the many. No problem should you need to re-schedule or postpone then we can move deposits around with your booking.
Yes, a group of needles ranging between 3 and anywhere up to 25 will be going up and down in your skin, it hurts. However it is bearable or people would not be able to do things like this . If you want it, you will get it done and overcome any fears that you may have, our artist is very experienced and will make sure your experience is as pleasant as possible, the studio is also designed to keep you entertained and comfortable.
No. Pain killers will thin the blood and make the ink harder to put into the skin, so in effect it is a false economy. Numbing creams are not designed to be injected into the skin and as we are not qualified anesthetists, we do not do it. For the best tattoo experience avoid caffeine for 48 hours prior to the tattoo (it stimulates nerve endings making them more sensitive), make sure you are fully hydrated, do not drink alcohol for 24 hours prior to your tattoo (it thins the blood), get a good nights sleep, get a hearty breakfast and take some vitamins for a week or so before your appointment, I recommend vitamin C and coenzyme Q10. Approach your tattoo as you would any test of endurance ( think 5 mile run) and you will be fine….. party like a rock star the night before and you will not enjoy the experience.
