Payment can be made with cash or bank transfer. Deposits are preferred in cash so they can be kept separate and only used at the time of your appointment.

Question 5

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes life happens and you need to rearrange your appointment! I require 48 hours notice to rearrange an appointment and retain your deposit, any less will unfortunately result in you losing your deposit.

Question 6

CAN I BRING SOMEONE WITH ME FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately no as is a one-to-one private sessions only I’m afraid but if you’re insecure, nervous or you never had a tattoo in your life, yes,   absolutely you can bring a guest with to your appointment! However please don’t bring an entourage, the studio isn’t big enough for a crowd.

Young children are prohibited from attending the appointment with you. Older children who can sit quietly and entertain themselves may attend, but please remember tattoos require concentration and tattoo studios are boring places for children to sit for hours. In all cases it is preferable to arrange childcare.

Question 7

CAN I USE NUMBING CREAM?

Accepted Answer

Use of numbing cream is your decision but it is also at your own risk. Numbing cream can cause adverse reactions to the skin and affect the tattooing and healing process. it’s advisable to carry out a patch test first. Ideally you wouldn’t use it, there aren’t many parts of the body that are so painful it warrants its use so if you don’t really need it, don’t use it!

Question 8

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY APPOINTMENT?

Accepted Answer

Wear clothing that allow easy access to the area which is being tattooed and please don’t wear expensive or precious clothing or footwear! ink can splatter and ruin clothing, so it is your responsibility to dress accordingly.
