-
Who can get tattooed?We welcome anyone who is over the age of 18, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and not under the influence of any drug or alcohol to be tattooed.
-
Do you do walk ins?We do offer walk ins subject to availability. We always ask that you contact us beforehand so that we can confirm and get you booked in with whichever artist is available on the day. If you don’t confirm it with us, we can’t guarantee that we will have space for you!
-
How can I prepare for my appointment?We recommended getting a good night’s sleep the day before your tattoo and to not drink any alcohol. On the day of your appointment make sure to eat a good meal and stay hydrated. You don’t have to but are more than welcome to bring snacks along with you, something sugary is a good idea!
-
How do I book a tattoo?Get in contact with us or the artist you want to book in with directly! We just need a few details from you; what you’re looking to get done, whereabouts on your body and roughly what kind of size you want the tattoo done. Once we know this then we can decide which of our London tattoo artists we think is best suited for your idea, give you a rough price quote and time estimate, then help you to get booked in with your chosen artist.
-
Will I see my design before my appointment?Our artists don’t send out designs prior to the appointment as we prepare all of the designs on the day. However, if you would like to have a design drawn up for you prior to booking in for a tattoo appointment, we do offer this as a separate service. If you choose to do this, we will get you in for a free consultation to discuss your ideas in depth and then our artists will draw you up a design based on this at a charge of £50p/h.
-
Do I need to leave a deposit to secure an appointment?Yes. We will always require a deposit to secure your appointment. Deposits are non refundable but moveable, however 72 hours notice is required to retain your deposit.
-
Can I book in to have a consultation before getting booked in for a tattoo?Of course! If you get in contact with us and let us know which artist you’d like to have a consultation with we can help you to get one booked in.
-
What should I expect in a consultation?During a consultation your chosen artist will sit down and have a chat with you about your ideas, what you’re thinking of getting done and answer any questions you may have about the process. Your artist may also take a photo of the area you’re looking to get tattooed so that they can design your tattoo specifically to your body. All you need to do is bring yourself, your ideas, and any reference photos along!
-
Should I shave before my tattoo?We prefer if you don’t shave before your appointment as this allows our artists to get a cleaner shave on the day and makes it easier for us to prepare your skin for the tattoo. It also prevents you from accidentally damaging your skin before your appointment!
-
How do I look after my tattoo?At the end of each session our artists will run through the aftercare routine and you will also get sent an email of the aftercare routine once your appointment has ended.
-
Can I bring friends to my appointment?You’re welcome to bring a friend or family member with you to your appointment, however we cannot accommodate them in tattooing areas, so they will have to wait in the reception area. This is because in a studio of working artists we can’t have other people walking around posing risks such as knocking tattoo beds or jogging other customers. We want you to receive the best service possible and keeping the studio to customers and artists only is how we ensure this!
-
What is your shop minimum charge?Our minimum charge in the studio is £80. This accounts for all expenses that we occur during the tattoo process (needles/inks/towelling etc.)
-
Why is there a minimum size for tattoos?Simply put this is due to the aging process of tattoos. As tattoos age and often thicken if details are too small and close together they can end up blurring together. We want you to receive the best tattoo possible and one that will last you a lifetime this is why our artists will always recommend a minimum size for tattoos.
-
Can I reschedule my appointment?We are aware that sometimes circumstances arise that mean you may have to reschedule your appointment. We are more than happy to do this for you but you must let us know with at least 72 hours notice or else the London tattoo studio will retain your deposit.
-
How much does it cost?Prices depend on the size starting from £95 to £200 for a single treatment. For tattoos larger than 21x21cm we will tailor your quote during your consultation. See the pricing structure below for more details. Tiny tattoos up to 3cm x 3cm Single session = £95 Laser Package = £300 for four sessions (discounted rate of £75 per session) Small tattoos up to 8cm x 8cm Single session = £110 Laser Package = £350 for four sessions (discounted rate of £87.50 per session) Medium tattoos up to 15cm x 15cm Single session = £150 Laser Package = £450 for four sessions (discounted rate of £112.50 per session) Large tattoos up to 21cm x 21cm Single session = £200 Laser Package = £600 for four sessions (discounted rate of £150 per session) Extra large tattoos over 21cm x 21cm This cost will be tailored to your needs at your free consultation including a laser package option.
-
What happens in the consultation?We’ll invite you to a free consultation to discuss your expectations and vision of the tattoo removal. We’ll assess your tattoo and ask you questions including how long you’ve had it and what you’d like to achieve from your laser sessions – some of our clients want a complete removal whilst others want to fade their tattoo so it can be easily covered up by a new one. Once we’ve discussed your tattoo and given you a price quote for your laser sessions, you will be offered a free patch test to see how your tattoo and skin reacts to the laser.
-
Will I get a patch test first?Yes and it’s free! This is a very quick laser treatment only lasting a few seconds on your tattoo to test your body’s reaction to the laser. This is to satisfy us that it is safe to offer you full laser sessions. You’ll need to wait at least five days before you return to begin your treatments.
-
How many laser sessions will I need?That will depend on a few things. It’s impossible to predict exactly how many treatments it will take to remove your tattoo, but several factors do come into play. Such as how easily you heal; how deep the ink is; how large the tattoo is; if it’s professional or amateur; and the types of ink that were used. It’s important to remember we are all different so every client can expect different results. Considering the above, a professional tattoo for example can take an average of 10 sessions to remove although some Indian ink and amateur tattoos can be removed within 6 treatments and sometimes it can only take 1 or 2 …but this is very rare. You may notice the tattoo fades more and more with every treatment you have, but this isn’t always the case because some tattoos can be very stubborn to remove.
-
Will it hurt?The laser tattoo removal is easily tolerated by most people, it feels similar to a small elastic band being snapped on the skin.
-
How long will each session take?Treatments can take between 10 seconds to 30 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo.
-
Are there any side effects?It’s not uncommon for bleeding or blistering to occur, there are varying reasons as to why this happens, but it’s short lived and in our experience, never cause for concern.
-
How does the skin look after my treatment?An instant whitening of the skin is usually seen after treatment, but this generally fades quickly. The area is likely to feel tender for a few hours and can be red and swollen for up to 48 hours.
-
Will the laser scar my skin?No. If bleeding or blistering does occur it is very important not to pick any scabs that may result when the skin is healing – this could cause scarring, and should be avoided as scar tissue can make further treatments more difficult.
-
Why does the ink stay in the skin when you have a tattoo?When you have a tattoo the particles of ink are too large for the body to destroy, so instead, it encapsulates the particles of ink with a network of collagen fibres as the skin heals, and there the tattoo remains.
-
How does the laser actually remove the tattoo?The Laser we use generates a high-powered beam of laser light in an extremely short pulse. The very short pulse of high powered laser light is absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, this shatters them into smaller pieces which in turn kicks in your natural immune defence system to absorb and disperse the ink. As the body’s immune system gets rid of these shattered ink fragments you will notice a gradual fading of the tattoo over a series of sessions.
-
Why does it take longer to treat colours over black tattoos?The lasers infrared wavelength is easily absorbed into black and dark blue inks, whereas the lasers green light is absorbed by red ink. The laser can treat other colours although white, yellow and bright colours are difficult (and may require more laser sessions). This is not usually a problem, as lighter colours cover very easily.
-
Is there any aftercare required after each session?We’ll advise you on the consultation day so you are fully prepped to ensure you look after the area.
-
How much will my piercing cost?£20 per piercing and includes a high quality titanium jewellery stud for the initial piercing.
-
Talk to me about piercing aftercareThe aftercare process is your responsibility, check out our vital top tips for smooth aftercare and to prevent infections: • Clean the piercing twice a day until it is fully healed. Use a salt and water solution or a saline solution and spray onto both sides. If you don’t have this use a mild soap but make sure to rinse thoroughly. • Keep your piercing dry. After cleaning, always pat dry thoroughly. • Wash your hands before touching your piercing. • Don’t change your jewellery too soon before it’s fully healed. • Avoid swimming in public pools and the sea for 4 weeks.
-
What can I get pierced?The lobes are the least painful and also have the quickest healing time (usually about eight weeks). We offer a selection of lobe piercings, including standard and upper lobe piercings. We provide a wide range of cartilage piercings, including helix, tragus and conch piercings. Plus most common body areas above the waist such as belly button piercing.
-
How quickly will my piercing heal?To make sure your piercings heal properly, you’ll need to give them some TLC, including the above aftercare. The healing time will depend on where your piercing is, your age and overall health. Generally, 2-3 months for lobes and around 6 months for cartilage.
-
What metal jewellery do you use?We use titanium for everything as it is hypoallergenic and is the best quality product.
