Design process
I will draw up your design in advance. I will require all information for the design beforehand to ensure I get the design as accurate as possible. On the day of the tattoo we will have time for minor changes. I can send a sketch prior to the appointment to make sure you're happy with it. This will be closer to the appointment date.
Travelling to the studio
Make sure you've planned on travel ahead of time. There's a free car-park opposite the barbershop (Morrisons.) If the car-park is full, there is a pay-and-display near Iceland. There's also a train-station in the town which is a 9 minute walk away. If you're 30 minutes late or more and haven't contacted me I may have to cancel the appointment if I have customers booked in after your slot. Your deposit will be forfeited if the appointment has to be cancelled so it's vital you make your way to me with time to spare just in case!
Fake tan
Please don't apply fake tan for at least a week before your tattoo. Once the tattoo is complete please dont apply fake tan for at least 4 weeks or until the tattoo is fully healed. Applying it around the tattoo is fine but avoid the tattoo at all costs!
Payments on the day
Matching tattoos
I offer matching tattoos. If you and a friend/family member/partner want to come in for this service together, thats absolutely possible.
Clothing
Please wear comfortable clothing which is stretchy or with a little give. For tattoos on the sternum/ribs/back i recommend wearing an oversized shirt or zip-up jumper so you can still be comfortable whilst i tattoo you. Bring a jumper, this can come in handy if you get cold or want an extra pillow support. I need access to the area when tattooing so bare this in mind, especially if you change the placement on the day! My room is totally private!
Food & Drink
Please bring food and drink with you. Have something to eat before you come in. There are various shops nearby in case you need to pop in to get something during a break. Sugar is great when getting tattooed. I always stop for lunch if you're here all day. We have a microwave, kettle and fridge if you need to keep anything fresh and cool, just ask and i'll show you where to pop your things!
I accept cash or debit/credit cards on the day.
