Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does it hurt?
A. Simply put, yes it does and anyone who tells you it doesn’t is lying to you. Depending on how much it hurts depends on you and how much pain you can handle, also take into account your skintone and the area and type of work you are having done.
Q. I've seen something I would like done, but I'm not 100% sure, shall I have it done anyway?
A. No. Photocopy it/Print it out and put it next to your bed. Look at it every day before you go to sleep and when you wake up for a few weeks. If you're sure after that, then go for it.
 Q. How long does it take to heal, what do I have to do?
A. A tattoo normally takes 7-14 days to heal, depending on your health and the type/location of the tattoo. We give a full aftercare guide with every tattoo which will explain the best way to look after it and the Do's and Don'ts.
Q. How do you ensure your equipment is clean?
A. We do everything possible to make sure our equipment is clean. New Needles are autclaved and stored in sterile bags until use, then they are only used Once before being disposed of in a 'sharps' bin and taken away by Local Health authority services for incineration. Machines are stripped, soaked, scrubbed and soniced between sittings. Ink is taken from small, disposable cups and disposable latex gloves are worn during the whole process. A fresh disposable cover is put on our chair for each sitting.
Q. Do you have to be licenced to carry out tattooing?
A. Yes. We are registered with our Local Authority who have inspected, and passed our studio and hygiene procedures.
Q. How old do I have to be to have a Tattoo?
A. You must be at least 18 years old. We will not tattoo anyone under this age, or who we think may be under this age. Bring ID if you think you may need it.
