Hygiene Information

Question 1

Why do I have to pay a deposit with the booking?

Answer

Asking for a deposit means that we have some kind of guarantee that you will show up, these deposits are non-refundable. If you have made an appointment but need to reschedule we can do that and allow you to move your deposit as long as you give us at least 48 hours’ notice. Please notify us by phone, or by coming into the studio, e-mail and Facebook messages can only be accepted if you receive a reply to confirm that we have got your message within the required 48 hour notice period. If you decide to cancel or reschedule and don’t give us a 48 hours’ notice we will keep your deposit and you will go on our ‘naughty list’ which means that if you want to book with us again you will be expected to pay 100% of your booking up-front.

Question 2

Will I need ID?

Answer

Yes, you will always need to bring photo ID with you. However we only accept passports and driving licences so please don’t come to your appointment with anything else.

Question 3

Can I bring my child in with me when I get tattooed?

Answer

I’m sure your child is really lovely, but if possible we prefer not to have children in the waiting area at all. Children are not permitted to go into the treatment area, under any circumstances. If you are getting tattooed and you have a friend/partner/family member sitting in the waiting area with the child then this might be OK as long as the child is quiet.

Question 4

How do I look after my tattoo once it’s done?

Answer

After you’ve been tattooed at the studio you will receive a sheet of after-care instructions on how to care for your tattoo properly. Following these instructions will ensure your tattoo remains perfect for years to come.

Question 5

How much does it cost?

Answer

All prices depend on the size, colour, detail and time. Please visit us at the studio if you have an idea in mind.

Question 6

Can I have a tattoo before I go on holiday?

Answer

We do not recommend having a tattoo before you go on holiday as the sun can cause your tattoo to blister, peel, swell and discolour leaving you with a very painful tattoo. It could also affect the quality of the tattoo.

Question 7

Can I go swimming after my tattoo?

Answer

No. Do Not go swimming till your tattoo is healed and the scab has come off, this should be within 2 weeks of getting your tattoo. In a swimming pool chlorine is present and this will not be kind to your tattoo.

Question 8

Does it hurt?

Answer

No two people are the same. What might hurt on one may not hurt on someone else, though there are several places that hurt more than others. The outline normally hurts more than the shading.

Question 9
