Studio policies

Booking fee:

  • A booking fee is required to secure your tattoo appointment, this will be discussed with your artist.

  • The amount of booking fee depends on the size of the tattoo, but usually pays for the final hour of your appointment.

  • For longer projects, booking fees can be rolled over to cover future appointment bookings.

  • Booking fees and gift vouchers are only valid for 1 year, following the initial date of purchase.

Identification:
We require all our clients to bring photographic ID with them to their tattoo appointments. Driving licence and Passport or the equivalent are accepted. This is enforced by our environmental health officer.

Payment:

  • We accept cash or bank transfer only. We ask that you make sure you come prepared to your appointment, with the correct amount of monies, as the cash machines in Southwell can be unreliable. Please ensure if you are paying by bank transfer that your device is set up to do so beforehand.

  • PayPal booking fees and tattoo payments are required to pay a £5.00 surcharge for using this service. (goods and service charges)

  • Gift vouchers: Please bring the voucher with you to your tattoo appointment, they are needed to be redeemed.

Reference and design:

We will not copy an existing tattoo though they can be used as inspiration to create your unique tattoo. To make sure there is no confusion, reference is required to clarify design ideas.
Reference can cover:

  • Style

  • Colour scheme

  • Technical details

  • Content

  • Fit & Flow

Studio space:

We are usually open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 11am-5pm. 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.

Booking fees are NON REFUNDABLE. Exceptions may be made at the artist’s discretion due to the circumstance, but not guaranteed.

Please give at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment where possible.

If you are significantly late to an appointment with no notice, you may forfeit your booking fee and appointment.
