FAQ
Every skin tone, body shape, gender, sexuality – everybody is always welcome!
You must be over 18 to get tattooed, as required by UK law.
I’m currently based near Finsbury Park / Archway station:
465a Hornsey Road, Islington, London N19 4DR
I work Tuesday–Friday, and at the moment I’m unable to offer late afternoon, evening or weekend appointments.
I offer one free touch-up within the first year of getting your tattoo – you can book this at any time, no need to wait until my books are open. After 12 months, a small fee applies for touch-ups.
I do both custom designs and flash pieces.
Please note that I don’t replicate other artists' work or tattoos – I’m always happy to create something original and personal for you.
If you'd like to book, please use the booking form in the main menu when my books are open. I’m only able to respond to enquiries submitted during this time – thank you so much for understanding.
If you’re hoping to get a tattoo based on someone else’s artwork, I’ll need written permission from the original artist before we can proceed.
I work mainly in black and grey, though occasionally I can add a small touch of colour.
If you’re after something with colour, please mention this in your form – I’ll let you know if it’s doable.
Please bear with me if it takes a little while to hear back – I manage all the admin myself, and sending multiple emails can unintentionally slow things down. I truly appreciate your patience.
If you have a specific budget in mind, I’m more than happy to design something that fits – just let me know!
I don’t tattoo certain placements: side of the fingers, side of the hand, foot, behind the ear, ribs, collarbone or anywhere lower than the ankle bone.
This is usually because these spots don’t heal well, especially with fine delicate work, or I simply don’t feel comfortable tattooing them. Please keep this in mind when submitting your idea.
Once I have all the info from you, I can give you a rough idea of pricing and my availability.
To confirm your booking, I’ll ask for a deposit that goes toward the final price. This is non-refundable and valid for 6 months.
If you need to reschedule, please give me at least 48 hours’ notice – otherwise, the deposit will forfeit. If you’re unable to attend a rescheduled appointment, a new deposit will be required.
Deposits can be paid in person or via PayPal. (No bank transfers, sorry!)
Please try your best to arrive on time or a little before – I work to a tight schedule, and running late could mean I’m unable to tattoo you that day, in which case a new deposit would be needed.
My minimum price is £100 that covers the cost of materials. Pricing starts from that.
I give you a set price per design - I do not charge per hour.
I prepare one design for the day of your appointment. We’ll have a quick consultation when you arrive, and I’m always happy to make small changes to the design, as long as they translate well into a tattoo.If you decide on a completely different idea, I may not be able to make it work on the day – so please let me know in advance if you’re having second thoughts.
Unfortunately, I don’t send designs before the appointment – thank you for understanding!
First tattoo? No worries at all! Make sure you get a good night’s sleep the night before, and eat something beforehand. Most first-timers are surprised at how manageable it feels – bring a sugary drink or some sweets just in case.Loose, comfy clothes are best – preferably not white, as ink might stain them.
Please take a moment to read the aftercare instructions before your appointment – I’ll also go over the main points with you on the day.
Don’t forget to bring a photo ID with you.
Thanks so much for reading – I really look forward to meeting you! :)
