Frequently Asked Questions From Our Clients
How old do you have to be to have a tattoo?
You MUST be at least 18 years old. If you have the fortune of looking under age we will ask for photographic ID of a passport or driving license (birth certificates are not valid identification and cannot be accepted). You MUST be 18, parental consent does not count and you will not be tattooed as a minor.
When is the studio open?
We are open:
Monday - Friday 10.30am - 5pm
Saturday 10.30am - 6pm
Sunday Closed
​
Bookings outside of these hours are by strict appointment only.
​
We close from:
Christmas Eve (23rd December) - New years Day (1st January) and will reopen on 4th January.
Why would I be refused a tattoo?
We reserve the right to refuse service if you are underage, drunk, on drugs, pregnant, sunburned or request offensive imagery.
Does it hurt?
Basically, yes!
However, after a few minutes or so, your body's endorphins kick in and lessen the pain to a more tolerable level. Do not panic or feel ashamed if you have to stop. Everyone has different levels of pain tolerance.
​
If it did hurt that much, we'd be out of a job.
How do I prepare for a tattoo?
Before your appointment make sure you eat well and drink enough water.
Do not drink alcohol or take any blood thinning medicine (unless on prescription). This will cause more bleeding than needed and make the tattoo process longer.
If you need to shave the area please do so as it will save time at your appointment.
Bare in mind the placement of your tattoo and try to wear suitable clothing that you don't mind if it gets a bit messy as ink can spread sometimes.
Feel free to bring any music or video devices to distract yourself while you are being tattooed.
