Book tattoo

Tattoos start at £130, and a full day session is £750. Each tattoo is priced individually, by size, placement and detail.

If you’d like a quote, just ask. My quotes are usually rough, and the more you can tell me about the design, size and placement, the more precise I can be. Unless I’ve given you a fixed price, the final price is agreed on the day, based on the finished tattoo. If it’s heading well over a quote I’ve given you, I’ll tell you before any ink touches skin.

I also offer reduced rates for clients booking multiple tattoos, and for designs I’m especially keen to make.

Yes. It’s £60 to book most sessions (£90 for a full day, or a tattoo with your bestie), and it goes 100% towards your final tattoo cost.

The deposit holds your date, so it isn’t refundable if you cancel. Need to move your appointment? That’s fine, just give me a week’s notice and your deposit moves with you.

No, not at all. Many clients book based on availability first and decide later. You can email me once you’ve chosen, or we can even decide together in the studio on the day.

The only exception is custom designs. If you’d like something drawn specifically for you, I’ll need at least one week’s notice before your appointment.

Yes. I take on a limited number of custom tattoos and approach them with the same care and thought as my flash work.

If you’d like a custom piece, I’ll need at least a week’s notice before the appointment so I can draw it properly. Custom designs tend to cost a little more to account for drawing time.

Yes, I do, and I really enjoy them.

After booking, I’ll ask for a photo of your existing tattoo and send a few draft cover-up ideas. We’ll refine your chosen design route together on the day so it works cleanly with what’s already there.

Yes, and they’re some of my favourite work to make. Bigger pieces are tattooed in full day sessions, which you can book at the top of this page.

There’s more on how they work, how many days they take and what they cost on the large tattoos and day sessions page.

After completing your booking form you’ll receive a confirmation email with your appointment details, including the studio address, the date and time of the appointment.

A couple of days before your session, you’ll receive a follow-up email with further details that goes over everything you need to prepare for our session, such as good clothes to wear, bringing sugary snacks, etc.

Aftercare is generally pretty simple: keep your tattoo clean, don’t soak or irritate it, moisturise lightly when it needs it, and otherwise let your body heal naturally. I’ll talk you through it on the day and send written instructions afterwards, and you can message me any time while it heals.

Worth knowing when you pick a date: no swimming, soaking or strong sun for about three weeks, so it’s worth booking around a holiday or a festival.

I’ve written a whole page that goes properly into tattoo aftercare. Click here to have a look.

Absolutely, I love taking existing designs and working with clients to add a new twist. A lot of this can be done in person during the session itself, which is often the most efficient approach.

If you’re planning a larger change, please give me at least a week’s notice so I have time to redraw.

As much time as we need.

I allow plenty of time in each session for sizing and placement, and I’m very particular about getting it right. Small adjustments can make a big difference, so we’ll take the time we need and re-place the stencil until it feels right to both of us.

Absolutely. Many of my clients are first-timers.

I work calmly and at a steady pace, and I’m always happy to explain things, answer questions, or pause if needed. There’s no pressure, the priority is that you feel comfortable throughout.

Yes. For custom tattoos, I’ll usually email your design the day before your appointment. I find this timing keeps the design fresh and considered, while still giving you time to review it and share any feedback.

I don’t typically send designs earlier than this, but if you’re feeling nervous or would like to talk through specific details, just let me know and I’m always happy to accommodate where possible. For flash designs, there’s no need to send anything in advance.

That’s absolutely fine, I understand that plans sometimes change. If you need to reschedule, just let me know as soon as you can so the slot can be offered to someone else.

Full details are outlined in the booking terms, but in short I ask for a week’s notice. More than anything, clear communication is what matters.
