Booking In Tattoos
Time and Pricing
We have 8 Tattoo artists therefore appointments for small/medium sized Tattoos are not always necessary and we can normally accomodate these tattoos on a walkin basis, We do advise however that you call ahead to check availability. 0151 709 0479
We specialise in custom work, depending on the artist you choose waiting times will varry.
Fixed designs are given a fixed price, large work such as sleeves is priced by the hour this is currently £70 per hour, within the exception of Tribal and Polynesian which is priced at £80 per hour.
As a rule of thumb the cost and the amount of time it takes to complete a tattoo is dependant on the size and complexity of the tattoo, basic designs range from £30 upwards. Custom tattoos and larger designs are more expensive, and elaborate pieces can require multiple sessions.
Custom tattoos take time to design and draw up, we do not charge for this time or the design(as many studios do) however we do require a deposit to be left on all appointments.
For the reasons above appointments cannot be made via phone or email and must be made in person.
All design work is done with no obiligation, if you want it changing then we will work with you to get exactly what you want.
For a consultation about a design no booking is required, please feel free to drop in. The opening hours for each studio can be found under the address.
You must be 18 in order to get a tattoo, this is the law under the Tattooing of Minors Act 1968.
This is regardless of parental consent and we will not tattoo anyone under the age of 18.
If your are 18 or older but don’t look it we strongly recommended you bring photo I.D (Recent Passport or Driving License) to prove your age. ID will be inspected closely.
Piercings
No appointment is necessary for Piercings however please be aware of our policy on age given below
Whilst there are no legal guidelines for piercings other than ear piercing. We adopt the policy that you must be 16+ to consent to a piercing. Piercing of anyone under 16(in non intimate areas) can be performed with parental consent, but we still reserve the right to refuse if we think you are physically underdeveloped for a piercing, or that you aren’t mature or responsible enough for it, we will decline to pierce you even with parental consent.
Drink, Drugs and Contraindications both for Tattoos and Piercings
We will not tattoo or pierce anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs, we also reserve the right to refuse a tattoo or piercing without explanation.
Before each tattoo or piercing a consent form must be completed, the consent form contains a list of medical conditions, if you have one or more of these conditions then it is not advisable to have a tattoo or piercing without the written advice of your doctor.
