For tattoos we will take walk-in appointments when we are able to, although it is very unlikely that we will have the time for a walk-in so we highly recommend booking an appointment in advance.

For piercings you do not need an appointment, we are walk-in only.

You can make an appointment in the studio or via email, Facebook message or Instagram message. We'll need to know what you want to get done, size (preferably in inches) and body placement.

No appointment needed for piercings as for these we are walk-in only.

Yes, you do need to pay a deposit. I'm afraid we are not able to book you in until a deposit has been paid, there are no exceptions to this. We can take deposit in cash at the studio or via bank transfer.

For tattoos we can take the deposit payment by cash in the studio or by bank transfer. We ask for the remainder of the money to be paid in cash in the studio once your appointment is finished.

It is cash only for piercings.

You must be 18+ to get a tattoo. The age restriction is set out by the tattooing of minors act 1969 which states that it is illegal to tattoo a person under 18 years of age.

There are absolutely no exceptions to this.

We offer lobe piercings on age 10+. See piercing page for more info.

For all other piercing we pierce from age 16+ (18+ for certain piercings).

You will need to show photographic ID to prove that you are over the age of 18 (16 for piercings). We accept in date Driving Licence and Passport as forms of ID. We do not accept photographs of your ID.

For junior piercings see piercing page for more info.

We accept Drivers Licence and Passport. We will only accept valid in date ID. We do not accept photographs of ID.

We are a fully accessible studio. There is a 4 inch step to get into the studio, if this is an issue we can provide access without a step through the staff car pack to the rear of the studio.

We have a fully equiped disabled toilet.

We do sell gift vouchers. These can be bought in the studio by cash and they can be for any amount.

Short answer is no. We can not tattoo or pierce anybody that is pregnant or breastfeeding.

This can really vary depending on the tattoo you're getting although there are some things are recommended for all tattoos.

Make sure that you wear comfortable clothing, that you don't mind getting ink splatters on and that can easily move away from the area getting tattooed.

If you'd like more privicy whilst getting tattooed please let us know in advance.

Make sure you've eaten before your appointment and bring snacks and drinks with you. We can provide you with water although you might want a sugary drink.

For piercings personal hygiene covers all the preparation you need: make sure the area getting pierced/changed is clean. If you have long hair, and want your ears pierced, it's a good idea to bring a hair bobble or clips to keep your hair away from your ears.

Each tattoo is priced individually, there is no one price that covers all. Once we know what design you'd like, the size you're after and body placement we will be able to tell you a price. Some tattoos are ongoing work and will be priced per sitting, not a total price for the full piece.

We require at least 48 hours to cancel or move an appointment, otherwise I'm afraid you will lose your deposit.

If you're looking for a cover up we will book a consultation for you with one of our artists. They will be able to talk to you about what options are available. It really depends on the tattoo that you're looking to have covered, the artist may sometimes suggest some sessions of laser removal before a cover up would be possible.

Consultations are free of charge.

We offer free touch-ups on most tattoos done in our studio, only if one is needed. You must contact us regarding this within three months of getting the tattoo and you must show us the area of the tattoo that needs touched-up. We do not offer free touch-ups on hand or finger tattoos or if you contact us after three months.

Yes, we offer jewellery changing in piercings and we have a wide selection of jewellery you can choose from.

There is no on street parking directly outside the studio, however there is plenty of on street parking nearby. There is an NCP car park directly above the studio (accessed from Montrose Street) which can be quite pricey although is cheaper if booked in advance. We are also only a 5 - 10min walk from Ingram Street car park and King Street car park.
