Does it Hurt?
The short answer is yes a bit. I always say it doesn't hurt enough to stop you getting it done if you really want it! So you have got to want it. You will hear all sorts of descriptions of how it feels, but every one of us takes to it differently. At best it's ok and at worst it's uncomfortable.

Will it Bleed?
There is a little bleeding but more like the weeping you get from a graze and it soon stops.

Does Anyone Ever Faint?
Occasionally, we call it Body shock and it is quite common. If you begin to feel nauseous or giddy just tell the artist immediately and we will give you a break to get your breath back. A good tip is to have something sweet with you if you are at all worried.

How Do I Look After My New Tattoo?
When you leave the studio your tattoo will have a plastic cover over it.  Leave the cover on for a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 24.  Remove the cover and wash the tattoo with soap and water.  Pat dry and apply Tattoo Goo (available at the studio) or Savlon Antiseptic Cream. This is the routine every day until it has healed. If you're not sure about any aspect of the healing process just ask your tattoo artist it's why we're here!

How Do I Choose My Tattoo?
Firstly if you don't have a clue at all, come to the studio. We have 1000's of designs to inspire you. Or you could do a sketch yourself, however poor it is it will give us an idea of what you want. It is easier to communicate with pictures than words. There isn't much that can't be done with a bit of input from both the client and artist. We call it 'Evolution of Design'. Then again you might see that perfect design on one of our Flash Sheets, in which case we'll tell you the cost and when we can do it and we'll take it from there.

How Old Do I Have To Be?
There is a law that governs this. Tattooing of Minors Act, this law says you MUST BE 18 TO GET A TATTOO. No ifs no buts we will not tattoo anyone under that age, and if we think you are under 18 we always ask for I.D.

Piercing is another matter as it is not covered in law. Our shop rule is NO UNDER 13's. Under 16’s with parental consent.

What Should I Do Before I Come
Make sure you are in good health. Ensure you have eaten. Don't have a hangover. Don't be under the influence of drugs or alcohol (If we suspect you are you will not be tattooed) and a good tip to keep your tattoo artist happy is to have had a wash!
