How Do I Book An Appointment?

You can book by filling out our Getink online enquiry form, messaging us on Instagram, or contacting the studio directly. A deposit is required to secure all appointments.

Do I Need To Pay A Deposit?

Yes — all bookings require a non-refundable deposit, which secures your appointment date and comes off the final tattoo price.

How Much Do Tattoos Cost?

Pricing depends on size, detail, placement, and design complexity. We offer custom quotes after discussing your idea. Minimum charge applies.

Do You Offer Custom Designs?

Absolutely. We specialise in custom tattoos tailored to your ideas, style, and placement.

Can I Bring My Own Design?

Yes — reference images are welcome. We can work from your ideas and adapt them into a tattoo that works best for your body.

How Old Do I Need To Be To Get Tattooed?

You must be 18 or older with valid photo ID. This is a legal requirement in the UK.

Does Getting Tattooed Hurt?

Pain levels vary depending on placement and personal tolerance, but most clients find it manageable. We’ll guide you through the process.

How Should I Prepare For My Appointment?

Get a good night’s sleep, eat beforehand, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol or drugs for at least 24 hours before your session.

What Is Your Cancellation Policy?

We require at least 48 hours notice for rescheduling. Deposits may be lost for late cancellations or no-shows.

How Do I Care For My New Tattoo?

We provide full aftercare instructions after your appointment. Proper aftercare is essential for healing and long-term quality.
