Pricing
All our artists manage their own pricing. Minimum charge, hourly and day rates may differ and are subject to change over time
Once an agreement is met between you and your artist, A deposit is required before any design work can be carried out or appointment dates secured. A larger deposit may be required when design charges apply.
Although we may be able to offer quotes on some smaller pieces and projects, most sessions are charged at our hourly rates. For larger pieces, such as full sleeves / back pieces and so on, we cannot always offer an accurate quote on overall costs or time required as there are far too many unknown factors to consider such as detail and session length etc. A clearer picture of costs and time required will be covered by consultation and develop as your tattoo does.
Deposits
A paid deposit is your confirmation and acceptance of the appointment on the agreed date and time, allowing the artist to put their time beforehand into prepping your design and any research or other work required to commence your tattoo on the agreed date and time you are booked in for. You may lose your deposit if you do not show up, bring a valid proof of age, or cancel your tattoo appointment
- Deposits are transferable but non-refundable
- Cancellations within 72 hours of appointment will require a new deposit
- If you do not bring ID for proof of age, a new deposit will be required to rebook
- Cancelling your booked tattoo altogether with notice may still lose your deposit
- If you have paid a deposit and been offered dates, but do not confirm a date with your artist within 1 month, you may need to pay a new deposit when booking back in
Touch ups
- All tattoos come with 1 free touch up if booked within 6 months, anything after this time may be chargeable*
- Touch ups may be chargeable if we suspect healing issued were caused by bad after care, such as swimming, picking, sun exposure or general neglect of the aftercare advice given

Other charges
- Changes to the design on the day of tattooing will be charged at the standard session rate, or if on a price, may incur additional charges for any extra time required to get started on the day of your tattoo
Minimum Charge
The absolute minimum charge to be tattooed by any of our artists in the studio is £80, although some artists may have a higher minimum charge.
Ending your session early
Most larger tattoos will be charged hourly or on a day rate, which is usually for appointment time and not specifically physical tattooing time.
If your artist has given you a set price for the tattoo, that is all you will pay for the completed piece, with your deposit taken off the cost when complete, with the following exceptions.
- If you tap out during a set price tattoo and need to come back another day to complete the tattoo when the skin has healed, you will need to pay for the extra session at the artists standard rates
Seeing your design before the day of your tattoo
Our artists reserve the right not to send your design to you before the day of your tattoo. Bigger projects may require design confirmation beforehand, but smaller designs will often be confirmed with you on the day, with time to make adjustments before tattooing starts.
