CAN I BRING MY OWN DESIGN?
Yes! We would be happy to see your design and are always looking to challenge ourselves to create art in ways that we may not have considered previously.
However, if you are bringing your own design, we would strongly advise you work with your tattoo artist as well. Working with skin and the shape of your body is very different to a flat piece of paper and if the artist expresses concerns about translating your design, they are saying it for a reason!
WILL YOU SEND ME A DESIGN IN ADVANCE?
No! We are happy to discuss your ideas for a tattoo and find it very helpful to have an idea in advance of the session as to what we will be doing. However, we will not create a paper design in advance. The reason for this is that we believe that the key to a great tattoo is that it has been designed specifically for the individual and a part of that design is planning it around the contours of your body!
WHERE SHOULD I GET TATTOOED?
This is totally up to you! We are happy to discuss ideas and make suggestions but at the end of the day this art will be on your body forever and needs to be considered carefully before you begin. If you haven’t got any tattoos to begin with, we would not be willing to tattoo your head or hands as such tattoos require a lot of thought and are life changing.
CAN YOU GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE?
Yes. By completing our contact form, we can give you a rough estimate of how long the tattoo is likely to take to complete. However, the total time will always depend on the intricacy of the final design and other physical factors such as how well your skin holds the ink. We believe that time should not be a factor when it comes to a tattoo. Whilst we will always try to work with our clients to complete work within the estimated time, we cannot guarantee this and do not want to sacrifice quality by rushing the work.
DO I NEED TO PAY A DEPOSIT?
We will take a deposit from you when we confirm a date for your booking. The deposit amount will be deducted from the overall cost of your tattoo but if your project requires multiple days, the deposit will be held until the final session and deducted from the final balance.
The deposit is non refundable. If you need to reschedule due to some unexpected circumstances you'll need to contact us with at least 2 weeks in advance and we will honor the existing deposit for a new date. The appointment can be rescheduled a total of 2 times and if needed to be rescheduled again another deposit will be required.
HOW DO I PAY?
We can accept payment via Cash, PayPal or Bank Transfer. Please be aware that international bank transactions or PayPal transfers may also incur fees, for which, you will be responsible. For this reason, we would recommend payment by cash.
Payment must be made before leaving the studio so make sure you have planned your payment in advance (for example, by adding us to your banking app prior to your visit). If you are here for several days, payment must be made at the end of each session.
