Question 1

How to find us

Accepted Answer

We are located within linslade mews. Big black wooden gates will be open (if a Sunday it may be closed please message when here and I’ll come and collect you). We are at the lower end of the one way road opposite the pub the entrance to the shop is not the house labelled 10A we are within the courtyard and it’s to your left a white stable door. We always ask to plan in advance when finding us Google maps can sometimes ping you to the top of the road we are not located by a blue door- walk down the road untill you see elite cosmetics and the black wooden gates.

Question 2

Where do I park?

Accepted Answer

we are not responsible for finding parking/ lateness when trying to find parking please plan your journey in advance if it is your first time coming to the shop as the area is limited for spaces.

On the road you can find 2hr parking (Fridays are usually very busy and hard to find a space so always have a back up option)

Tescos is 5 minute walk away and is 2hrs free parking however you can extend and pay for longer via their online service and I believe it can be up to 8hrs (do always check for yourselves and read signs)

There’s a few other parking / free parking 2hr spots around the area within walking distance please again plan in advance especially around school rush/ rush hour.

Question 3

What is fine line? Is it for Me?

Accepted Answer

What is fine line tattooing?
Fine line tattoos are created using ultra-delicate needle groupings to produce soft, minimal, and refined designs. This style prioritises precision, subtlety, and elegance over bold saturation.

Is fine line right for everyone?
Fine line tattoos are beautiful but require realistic expectations. Because the lines are lighter and more delicate, they may not be suitable for every placement, skin type, or design idea. I’ll always guide you toward the best option for longevity while maintaining a fine, elevated aesthetic.

Question 4

Do fine line tattoos hurt less?

Accepted Answer

Do fine line tattoos hurt less?
Fine line tattoos are often more tolerable than heavily saturated styles, as they involve less trauma to the skin. However, pain is subjective and still depends on placement and individual sensitivity.

Question 5

How does placement affect fine line tattoos?

Accepted Answer

How does placement affect fine line tattoos?
Placement is especially important with fine line work. Areas with frequent movement, friction, or thinner skin (such as hands, fingers, feet, ribs, and inner arms) may experience faster fading or softening. During your consultation, placement will be carefully considered to ensure the best possible result.

Question 6

Hand and finger tattoo placement

Accepted Answer

Do you offer fine line tattoos on hands and fingers?
Yes, selectively. Hand and finger tattoos require extra consideration due to constant movement, exposure, and rapid skin regeneration.

How do fine line hand and finger tattoos age?
Fading, softening, and patchiness are common in these areas—especially with fine line designs. Even with perfect technique and aftercare, results cannot be guaranteed long-term.

Are touch-ups required for hand or finger tattoos?
Touch-ups are very common for these placements and may be necessary to maintain clarity. Due to the unpredictable nature of healing in these areas, touch-ups are not always guaranteed and may incur a fee. (£30*)

Question 7

Healing, ageing & longevity

Accepted Answer

How long do fine line tattoos last?
All tattoos age, but fine line tattoos naturally soften more quickly than bold styles. Over time, lines may lighten, blur slightly, or lose sharpness as the skin regenerates.

Will my tattoo look exactly the same forever?
No tattoo remains unchanged forever. Skin texture, lifestyle, sun exposure, and natural aging all affect how a tattoo evolves. Fine line tattoos are designed to age softly and subtly, not remain razor-sharp indefinitely.

Question 8

Touch ups.

Accepted Answer

Why might a fine line tattoo need a touch-up?
Touch-ups may be required due to skin type, placement, healing response, aftercare, or the delicacy of the design itself. This is normal and expected with any tattoo especially fine line work.

Are touch-ups included?
We include a touch up for free from 4-8 weeks after initial appointment. Touch-ups requested outside the specified timeframe, or due to natural fading over time, will be charged accordingly.
