I want the tattoo, but can’t afford the price you’ve quoted

I am happy to split the tattoo up into affordable sessions, just let me know when you make your enquiry. Alternatively, you can pay with Klarna.

Will I received a tattoo design?

I have a drawing list which you will go on once a deposit it paid. You will receive a design before your appointment if you have requested one. Please be patient, I have a busy life too!

What is your booking policy?

I work by appointment only. I don’t live near the studio and have to travel 2 hours there and back. If you cancel less than 48 hours before your appointment or don’t show up and don’t send me a message, you will lose your deposit. Any further bookings will need to be paid for in full. If the appointment offer is overdue and you have not responded, you will receive one reminder, if you do not respond to the reminder, your enquiry will be closed. You don’t have an appointment unless you have paid a deposit.

What days do you work?

I am flexible and can work around your schedule

How do I find the studio?

Follow the one way system, past Adidas, The Vintage Emporium and Awesome Walls round to the Riverside Suite entrance next to SwiftGo. Parking is free of charge. You can also get the lift by Price Savers. Use the call button and wait for the door to unlock, take the lift to the 6th floor, exit the lift and turn right. Walk down the corridor past Stockport Nerf Centre, we are the at unit G9.

There is plenty of free parking at Pear Mill.

There are two lifts from the ground floor, one at the Riverside Suite and one at Price Savers.

Additional Information

Bring some comfortable clothing making sure I can easily get to the body part being tattooed. Bring plenty of snacks, water or fizzy drinks and some lunch if you are sitting for a few hours. Hot drinks and limited snacks are available to buy.
