What type of tattoos do you like doing and specialise in? I specialise in photorealism, I like tattooing in either colour or black and grey. I enjoy new challenges and original ideas. The subjects I enjoy the most are portraits, nature, wildlife, pets, pinup girls, japanese style artwork and all large scale works. If you want something tattooed that I have not listed here, please feel free to email your design over, I am always happy to discuss your ideas. Why choose me? I am an established Tattoo Artist since 1994 and I am proud of the relationship I build between my clients & myself, which I base on trust & understanding. It is important to me that the client is fully involved in the design but they give me the freedom to be creative with my own style, this allows me to create something special. I provide custom tattoos of the highest quality. I am forward thinking & passionate about what I do and I feel blessed to be doing a job that I love and am still deeply fascinated by. Are you licensed? The studio is fully licensed with the local Environmental Health Department. I have a strict hygiene regime throughout the studio, after every customer, all equipment, chairs, work surfaces and floors are vigorously cleaned, sterilized or disposed of. Do you use the same needles for everyone? NO, I use brand new pre sterilized needles for everyjob, my local environmental health department disposes of these needles safely. My son/daughter is under 18, if I give consent, can you tattoo them? No professional tattoo studio will accept signed consent, by law you must be 18 years old to get a tattoo. Studios that tattoo minors run the risk of losing their license and gaining a bad reputation, not only for themselves but also for the industry. What do I need to do to prepare for my tattoo on the day? Good personal hygiene is a must! No one wants to tattoo someone with bad hygiene. Eat a light meal in the morning and drink plenty of water. What kind of payments do you except? Currently I can only except bank transfers or cash. Do I need to put a deposit down to book an appointment? Yes, I require a £100.00 deposit for you to secure an appointment date. All deposits paid are "NON REFUNDABLE" When do I need to pay my balance? Once you have paid your deposit and secured your appointment date you will be contacted around a week before your appointment to pay half of the remaining balance. You will then pay the final amount on the day of your tattoo. If I need to rearrange the date of my appointment, how much notice do I need to give and will I lose my deposit? If you wish to rearrange your appointment you need to give at least 48 hours notice; Saturday and Sunday's are not included as the studio is closed. Failure to do so will result in you "LOSING" your deposit. Do I need a Consultation? Once you have sent the email answering all the required questions, I will then let you no if a consultation is required. Nowadays we can set up a facetime call to discuss everything in detail. For custom pieces & designs that require a lot of changes, you may need a face-to-face consultation; there will be a charge for this service depending on how long is required. We can discuss this if required. If your question is not covered here please feel free to contact the studio
