Booking Policy
Please read before you book. Sending a deposit means you have read and accepted these terms.
Deposits
- A deposit is required to secure every appointment. It comes off the total price of your tattoo on the day.
- Deposits are non-refundable. They cover the artist’s design time and hold a slot that could have gone to another client.
- Deposit amount depends on the size of the piece. Your artist will confirm when the booking is agreed.
Rescheduling
- You may reschedule once with at least 48 hours’ notice and your deposit rolls over to the new date.
- Second reschedules, changes made under 48 hours, no-shows and cancellations forfeit the deposit. A fresh deposit is required to rebook.
- If we have to reschedule from our side (illness, equipment issue, unforeseen), your deposit is always honoured.
Design changes
- Small tweaks on the day (sizing, placement adjustments) are part of the process and included.
- Full redesigns requested on the day are not, and may result in a rescheduled appointment plus additional deposit.
- If you want to change the concept entirely, tell your artist as early as possible so we can prepare properly.
On the day
- Please arrive on time. If you are more than 15 minutes late without notice, the session may be shortened or cancelled and the deposit lost.
- Bring valid photo ID (passport or driving licence) to every appointment. UK law requires we verify age (18+).
- Eat a full meal within a few hours before, hydrate, and avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
- One guest is welcome. Under-18s are not permitted in the studio, even as guests.
- We reserve the right to refuse or stop a tattoo if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Deposit is not refunded.
Payment
- Balance is due at the end of the session, in card or cash.
- Multi-session pieces are priced session-by-session; a fresh deposit may be requested for future sessions.
- All prices are agreed with your artist in advance. No surprise fees.
Health & consent
- You will complete a consent form on your first visit covering health, medications and allergies. Answer honestly, it protects you.
- We will not tattoo if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Some skin conditions (psoriasis, eczema flare-ups, keloid scarring) and medications (blood thinners, isotretinoin/Roaccutane, immunosuppressants) may require a GP letter or a delay to your booking.
Touch-ups
- One free touch-up is offered within 3 months of your original session, provided you have followed the aftercare instructions.
- Book it via the contact form the same way as any other appointment.
- Touch-ups outside 3 months, or on tattoos not done by us, are charged as normal.
