Can I bring a friend?

Unless medically necessary, we can’t facilitate friends and family unless they’re also booked in. Our studio is small, and when all artists are in it can get incredibly busy, and don’t have the spare room for friends/family to sit, including reception which can get incredibly busy with piercing clients, and the space is needed for them. There are plenty of cafes, shopping, museums, cinemas in Leeds City Center, so there is plenty of things to do if you have extra people.

What should I bring with me?

1. Photo ID! You need photo ID for the consent form you will have to fill out. This is for Insurance and can not be skipped. So please bring it with you. 2. Snacks and a Drink 3. If you would like to zone out and wear headphones that is absolutely fine.

You should wear loose comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting ink on. While I’ll Do my best to protect your clothes, I can’t guarantee that they’ll leave unstained! You should be able to comfortably have the area out without cutting off circulation to the area. So loose shirts, shorts and skirts are best! Zip up hoodies for backs and arms are great too. If you’re unsure still, just send a message and I can give you more advice!

What happens next?

I am booking to the end of 2026, due to being pregnant, I’ll be taking it easy after that until and after baby arrives. So best to get any difficult areas or if you’re wanting something finished, to lock it in before the end of December. I’ll be playing it by ear after that!
