Frequently asked questions

Make an enquiry

Include as much detail as possible and Sam Ding should be in touch shortly. What happens next?

Hi! Thanks for enquiring with me!

I’m currently booking up to and including January 2026.

-IMPORTANT INFORMATION-

  1. Please include a clear, straight photo of the area you wish to be tattooed, along with your reference photos.

If it is a cover up you’re enquiring about, please include the photo of the existing tattoo. Far enough away so I can see the position on the body and can make out the size correctly. I will need it to draw over so the cover up works. Do not skip this step please.

  1. You will need to provide valid photo ID when you come for your tattoo.

  2. Payment on the day of your tattoo can be made with Cash, Bank Transfer and if needed contactless, or payment link/QR code can be used. If possible cash and bank transfer is preferred to save on fees and delayed payment. I do not have a card/chip reader.

  3. Drawings are done the week of the appointment, any changes to your ideas will need to be discussed before the Monday of your appointment. Larger pieces can be sent if requested, a preliminary sketch sometime the week of the appointment to be given the okay or make changes, before the final drawing is done and ready for the day of. Smaller pieces will be ready for the day, with time allowed for minor changes.

  4. Deposits are non refundable, I can rearrange once on the same deposit with plenty of notice. But repeat rescheduling or canceling will result in loss of deposit, and potentially not booked in again.

  5. If you no longer want to go forward with the tattoo or the appointment, please decline the offer so I can offer the space to someone else.

I’ll get back to you as soon as possible, you should hear from me in less than a week. Thank you!
