FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to Your Questions
DO YOU SELL ALL THE AFTERCARE PRODUCTS I’LL NEED?
Yes, we sell Butterluxe Butter and Ink Doctor Tattoo Butter in the studio, as well as Ink Doctor Cleanser and Care Sticks.
​
Your artist will go through the aftercare with you once your tattoo is finished, so pick your aftercare up before leaving. Prices start from just £5.
I WANT A TATTOO BUT I’M ON A LIMITED BUDGET. HOW DO YOU DETERMINE PRICING?
The price of a tattoo is determined by the complexity of the design, size, the position on your body and how long the tattoo is going to take to complete.
​
Check out the Pricing & Aftercare page for more information on our pricing.
​
If you have a specific budget that you are looking to stick to, let us know when enquiring so we can work with you on ideas to achieve the tattoo you want. We do offer free consultations (by appointment only) so we can also discuss in person.
DO I HAVE TO PAY A DEPOSIT TO CONFIRM MY APPOINTMENT?
Yes. A 50% deposit is required to secure your appointment for tattoos.
​
All deposits are non-refundable.
​
If you are unable to make it to your appointment, 48 hours notice is required for us to reschedule without loss of deposit.
DO YOU DO WALK INS OR DO I HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
We work on an appointment only basis, no walk ins. This is for all appointments, including consultations, voucher pick ups and tattoo appointments.
​
Get in touch via our Contact Us page to discuss and book an appointment.
HOW MUCH IS A SLEEVE AND CAN I DO IT IN SESSIONS?
We are not able to provide a price for a "sleeve" as there are a number of factors that would contribute to the cost. Such as whether it's a half sleeve on an arm or leg, full sleeve, colour or black and grey etc.
​
We can do sleeve work in sessions, to work to a budget but we would suggest booking at least a half day to get it started.
​
If you are looking to have a sleeve, get in touch to book a consultation.
DO TATTOOS HURT?
Yes. The amount of pain you will experience depends on your personal pain threshold and the part of your body you are having a tattoo on.
CAN I BRING SOMEONE WITH ME?
No. When attending your appointment you must come alone due to limited space in the studio.
​
Noone under the age of 18 is permitted in the studio.
CAN I USE NUMBING CREAM?
If you would like yo use numbing cream for your tattoo, please ensure you advise us of this in advance. We only recommend Extreme Numb for tattoos and cannot guarantee we would be able to proceed with your tattoo if you are to use an alternative product. We have a discount code for Extreme Numb and have a limited amount of stock in the studio available for purchase.
WHEN I BOOK MY APPOINTMENT, DO I GET TO CHOSE MY PREFERRED ARTIST?
Yes - let us know if you have a preference and we can send over their availability. If you do not have a preference, we will book you in with the artist we feel is right for the tattoo design you'd like.
I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING I LIKE BUT HAVE LOTS OF IDEAS FOR A TATTOO. CAN YOU DESIGN SOMETHING FOR ME?
Yes. We can design tattoos for you based on ideas you have but haven't found any reference images that are similar to what you are looking for.
​
We take a £50 drawing payment, to do this and will include one change of the design. If you go ahead with the design, the £50 payment is deducted from the final cost of your tattoo. If you don't, the payment covers the artists time.
DO YOU SELL GIFT VOUCHERS?
Yes. We have gift vouchers available to purchase in the studio or we can post out for an additional fee.
Do you have disabled access?
Our studio location is on the first floor with 14 stairs to the unit (split into two) and unfortunately, there is no lift access.
