Questions we get
Before you come up.
The things we answer every week — including the one we get most, which is how much a full back costs.
Still wondering
Ask us directly.
Usually within an hour — or come up and ask in person. You're not committing to anything by walking in.
Do I need an appointment?
No. We take booked appointments and walk-ins, and if an artist is free we can often tattoo you the same day. If you have something specific in mind, message us first — it gives us time to draw.
How much does a tattoo cost?
We don't publish prices, because the honest answer depends on the tattoo. Size, placement, colour or black and grey, and how many sittings it needs all change the number. Send us the idea and we'll tell you properly.
Why can't you quote me for a full back?
It's the question we get most, and on its own it isn't answerable. A full back can be fine line or full colour realism, one session or ten. Tell us the subject, whether you want colour, and roughly how much of the back — then we can talk numbers.
What should I send with my enquiry?
What you want tattooed, any reference images, a rough size, whether you want colour or black and grey, and — if it's a cover-up — a clear photo of the existing tattoo.
Do you do custom designs?
That's most of what we do. The artist draws your piece for you rather than copying someone else's tattoo, and will tell you honestly if something would sit better at a different size or placement. How soon you see the design depends on how busy the artist is — often the same day. If you would rather pick something already drawn, we have flash too.
Can you cover an old tattoo?
Yes. Cover-ups and rework are available. Send a clear photo of the existing tattoo and we'll tell you what is realistic.
How long will it take?
It depends on the size, the placement and how much detail the piece has. Some are finished in a single sitting; larger work runs over several.
Is there a deposit?
Yes, a deposit is required to hold your appointment. It is non-refundable if you cancel.
How old do I have to be?
Eighteen. No exceptions.
I've never been tattooed before. Can I just come and talk?
Please do. Come up, look at the work on the walls, ask whatever you want, and leave again if you're not ready. Nobody here will push you.
Do you do Sak Yant?
Yes — by machine and by traditional bamboo. It isn't the studio's main focus, so ask us and we'll tell you what's possible.
Is it clean?
Mostly single-use materials, a steriliser in the studio, the whole station wrapped before every session, strict glove discipline, and a fresh single-use cover on the bed. Come up and look before you decide.
