For tattooing you must be 18 years old. Even with parental approval, we do not tattoo anyone under 18.
Piercing Age Limits
We require identification of everyone who is to be pierced, even accompanied by a guardian. The guardian must also show identification.
These are our age limits:
6 years (accompanied by parent) – earlobe
15 years (accompanied by parent) – ear, nose, eyebrows and navel
16 years – tongue and lip
18 years – cheek, bridge, surface, nipple, genital, microdermal
It all depends on the design, the size, the location of the body and if its color or black and grey. The more details a tattoo has the longer the tattoo will take to make. Location as on e.g. the ribs will take longer due to the skin being stretched a lot, and will therefore also cost more than other places on the body. A smaller tattoo is not automatically cheaper, a small but microdetailed realism work can be as expensive as a large tattoo with less details.
We are artists who take our time and focus a lot on little details in our work. When there is a lot going on around us we lose our concentration. You can bring only one friend/partner/family to keep you company.

We politely ask that friends/partners are limited to one only during your session.
We can make a design of your taste even if you havent seen a picture somewhere and you have it in your imagination only.
We will design only under an Booked Appointment and only when a deposit has been paid.
Send a picture to [email protected] with your name and date that you got tattooed.If we cannot advice your case correctly online we might ask you to pop in the shop so we have a better look.
If we cannot help further we will reccomend you to seek a pharmacy and follow their recommendations. If you have direct pain, always consult a doctor.
Take a picture and send it to [email protected] and we will advice you further on what to do.
If the fading is minimal and is Artist's fault it will be a free retouch (within a month from the day you got tattooed).

Tattoos are better than Love,
Hurts the same but stays for the whole life.
We do not recommend using numbing cream. This can make the skin more difficult to tattoo and can sometimes affect how it heals. There is often a greater level of pain experienced once it has worn off.
Getting a tattoo when your immune system is not 100% is not a good idea. You need all your strength to heal the tattoo, something your body will not be able to do if it is already fighting viruses and bacteria. Not to mention the fact that it is very stupid to take the disease into the studio and risk transmitting the bacteria to others, especially your tattoo artist.
Call and re-schedule your appointment.
We are not fans of finger tattoos as they dont heal how they should.
We do not tattoo racism / homophobic tattoos.
We mainly don't do cover up tattoos but don't hesitate to email us with your enquiry in the "Book Form" Anko might be intrested in your idea.
Your tattoo will only ever expand or reduce at the same rate as your skin, it will not distort in shape.
Exercise is fine, as long as the area is not knocked. Contact sports e.g Rugby are generally not advised until fully healed, due to the risk of knocking off scabs. swimming is not advised for at least 3 weeks.
After exercise make sure you wash the area with warm water and PH balance soap.
We recommend at least 3 weeks before exposing a fresh tattoo to sun/ sea/swimming. This is due to the risk of poor healing and infection.
It is always best to wait until after a holiday before having a new tattoo.
