Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you tattoo under 18s?

Our studio policy is that we do not tattoo under 18s, even with parental consent.

Do you pierce under 18s?

Yes we do ear and navel piercings if you are 16+ with parental consent. We pierce lobes from age 9, also with a parent present.

Do you do walk-ins?

Our studio is very busy so it is not always possible for us to do walk-ins. Rather call ahead or message to check how our schedule is looking.

How do I book for a tattoo

You can book via our Website, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs or email. Please stick to a platform and be sure to include reference photos, size in centimeters & placement.

How far in advance should I book?

If you are wanting a specific artist it is best to give a minimum of 2 weeks notice. In some cases up to a month, if you are wanting a larger design.

Do you do fineline tattoos?

Yes we do! Fineline tattoos tend to heal inconsistently. This will lead to the tattoo looking faded or having part of it fall out. We offer free touch ups for this reason.

Do you do white ink tattoos?

We always recommend black ink as white ink does not stay white as it heals. It either turns yellow/peach or disappears completely.

Do you do microrealism?

Yes we have realism artists. They will always try & recommend a certain size for small text or portrait type tattoos. Words and details can blob together as your skin grows over the tattoo.

Do you do coverup tattoos?

Yes we do! You will need to consult with an artist to see what is possible. It is important to be realistic because the artist cannot remove what is there, they can only add on or over it.

Do you tattoo darker skin?

Yes absolutely. We often recommend bolder, darker tattoos. We recommend staying away from colour / greywash if you have a darker skin type or tend to spend a lot of time in the sun.

Can you tattoo over scars?

You will need to consult with an artist to see what is possible but we have done plenty of successful scar coverups.

Does your studio do handpoke?

We do offer this service, please enquire to see if your design idea is possible, and we’ll gladly quote you!

Do tattoos hurt, can I use numbing cream?

Getting a tattoo will hurt, but most people say it isn’t as bad as they expected. We do not recommend using numbing cream as it can negatively impact the healing process of your tattoo.

Can I have a friend with me for the appointment?

Unfortunately only the person getting tattooed or pierced can come through to the artist, but there is space upstairs or outside for them to wait and have a coffee.
