How old do I need to be to get a tattoo?

You must be 18 or older to get a tattoo.

I’m 14 and my mum said I’m allowed to get a tattoo with her permission, so can I book in?

No. You must be 18 or older. It is against the law to tattoo anyone under the age of 18.

Can I drink alcohol before a tattoo?

No, alcohol thins the blood. Avoid any alcohol at least 24-48hrs before a tattoo session.

Can I bring my friend with me?

Sure, but only one friend due to limited space.

Yes, they hurt. Everyone has a different pain threshold. Overall it is all bearable.

I can’t make my appointment, can my friend take my slot?

Unfortunately not as there are current clients with ongoing work that would be offered the slot first. If your friend wants to book in for a tattoo they need to message me for a different booking.

Can I make changes to my design?

Yes, of course. You need to be happy!

Can you draw my tattoo up and if I like it I will get it tattooed?

No. Designs are only drawn if you are booked in and it is secured with a deposit.
