FAQ’s & LOCATION
HOW DO I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
Once you’ve checked out your preferred artist, you can either stop by the shop, call us at 02477 752870, or send a detailed email with a description of the design, some photo references, and your preferred dates to schedule. This will enable us to process your request quickly and efficiently. We schedule appointments a maximum of eighteen months in advance. We are always available to answer your questions via phone - and we actually like talking to people!
HOW MUCH DOES A TATTOO COST?
It depends on the artist, but all tattoos start at £60. Final price is dependent on size, detail of the design, location on the body where it will be placed, and finally, which artist you’ve chosen. Some artists have a minimum hourly billing, which varies and maximum of up to £500 per day.
HOW CAN I GET A PRICE QUOTE?
The best way to get an accurate price range is by booking a (free!) consultation with the artist of your choosing or management. If not in person, then through a brief detailed email. We also offer virtual consultations via FaceTime or Google Meet. In order for us to quote your idea, we need to consider the subject, size, placement on the body, detail, etc.
You are also welcome to come into the shop and talk to one of our manager or artists! We’re always more than happy to help get you the information you need.
DO I NEED TO LEAVE A DEPOSIT IF I DECIDE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?
Yes. A deposit is required to make an appointment. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable and will be applied to the final price or last session of your tattoo.
CAN I USE NUMBING CREAM?
Yes, you absolutely can, however we only recommend using one of our sponsors over at https://www.extreme-numbing.com/product-page/extreme-numb-black-edition-30g
The reason for this is we have tried and tested every numbing cream under the sun and found that this is the only cream that doesn’t affect your skin, saturation of the ink and actually lasts longer than 4 hours. Many of our clients report that this works for 6-8 hours. Note use code “ZUZA15” for 15% off your order.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY TATTOO?
We recommend that you eat well before you come in, and remember to stay hydrated. If you start to feel woozy, we are all first aid trained and sugar is your friend in this situation.
It’s best not to party the night before because alcohol can increase bleeding for up to 24 hours. Blood also dilutes our pigments, affecting both the appearance of your tattoo as well as the healing process. Remember to stay calm and cool, you’re in good hands. There’s nothing to stress over—it’s just a tattoo!
DO YOU OFFER PRIVATE OFF-SITE AND TRAVEL APPOINTMENTS?
Yes , we do, but under very particular circumstances. We appreciate that sometimes camera’s showed in your face and a giant glass window isn’t the best option for some customers.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED?
Remember… Cash is king and we don’t want to put our trust in an electronic system that could fail at any moment… However we do accept credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express).
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY NEW TATTOO?
Every shop has their own recommended care methods. You will be given an instruction card after you’ve been tattooed. You can also check out our aftercare walkthrough in the aftercare tab at the top of the page.
