Studio visits: we are a small studio space
If visiting the studio in person please bear in mind it can get over crowded if clients bring companions with them. We therefore ask that clients arrive alone or pre arrange with us if a companion is needed. Children under the age of 18 are not allowed in the tattoo studio, this is a requirement from our environmental health officer and is a condition of our license as well as our insurance.

Parking & Accessibility
No parking outside of the studio as it needs to be clear for disabled and residential access. There is plenty of free on street parking within a short walking distance.
Disabled access - please arrange with us on booking your appointment if vehicular access is required. Please note there is a steep step into the studio and several steps to access the toilet.
