Questions
What services do you offer?
We provide tattooing, piercing, laser removal, merchandise, and gift vouchers. All services are available at our Edinburgh and Glasgow studios.
Are walk-ins accepted for tattoos?
Small tattoos may be done as walk-ins, but bookings are recommended. Consultations are required for complex designs to ensure quality results.
Is laser tattoo removal painful?
Most clients describe it as tolerable, similar to a snapped elastic band. Anaesthetic is usually unnecessary, and free test patches assess pain thresholds.
Do you offer vegan-friendly tattooing?
Yes, we use vegan inks and avoid animal-tested products. Our studio prioritises ethical practices aligned with our animal sanctuary mission.
How to book a piercing?
Edinburgh clients can book online via Resurva. Glasgow clients should call the studio. Walk-ins are welcome but may face wait times.
What aftercare is needed for piercings?
Clean with saline solution twice daily. Avoid submerging new piercings in water and follow specific advice provided by our piercers to prevent infection.
