Services
Custom Tattoos
Our artists create bespoke tattoos based on your ideas, from sketches to final design. We specialise in portraits, realism, and intricate styles, ensuring unique, meaningful art. Clients receive unlimited revisions until fully satisfied, with no charge for design work.
Cover-Up Tattoos
We transform unwanted tattoos into fresh designs using advanced techniques. Artists assess existing ink to create complementary covers, ensuring seamless results. This service requires expert shading and colour blending to obscure previous work effectively.
Ear Piercing
We offer earlobe, helix, tragus, and conch piercings using surgical-grade titanium jewellery. Each procedure follows strict sterilisation protocols, with aftercare guidance provided. Walk-ins are welcome, and minors require parental consent for lobe piercings.
Microdermal Anchors
These single-point piercings use biocompatible titanium anchors for unique jewellery placement. Ideal for areas unsuitable for traditional piercings, they require 3-5 months healing. We provide detailed aftercare to prevent migration and ensure longevity.
Tattoo Aftercare
Clients receive printed aftercare sheets and verbal guidance on cleaning, moisturising, and sun protection. We advise against picking or using petroleum-based products. Follow-up consultations ensure proper healing, with emergency contact details provided for complications.
Questions
What tattoo styles do you specialise in?
We offer realism, portraits, traditional, biomechanical, dotwork, tribal, and cover-up tattoos. Artists adapt to client preferences, ensuring custom designs match individual visions.
Can I walk in for a tattoo?
Yes, walk-ins are accommodated most days for small/medium tattoos. Call ahead to check availability, though larger pieces require appointments due to design complexity.
What are your piercing age requirements?
Earlobe piercings are available from age 10+ with parental consent. Other piercings require clients to be 14+ (with consent) or 18+ for intimate placements like nipples and septum.
How do you ensure hygiene?
All studios follow Chartered Institute of Environmental Health protocols, using single-use needles, sterilised equipment, and disposable materials. Workspaces are disinfected between clients to prevent contamination.
Do you charge for tattoo designs?
No, design consultations and artwork are free. A deposit is required for appointments to secure artist time, but sketches are provided without obligation if no booking is made.
What aftercare support do you provide?
We supply printed aftercare guides and verbal instructions for tattoos and piercings. Follow-up visits are free for healing checks, with advice on avoiding infection and maintaining vibrant results.
