Tattoo & Piercing Services

From precise fine-line scripts to saturated blackwork, layered color realism, and curated ear projects, our studio plans every piece for readability, longevity, and a smooth heal.

Service overview

Every appointment begins with a short consultation to align on placement, scale, and style. We calibrate needle groupings, voltage, and stroke for your skin type, and we open single-use cartridges in front of you. For piercings, we use implant-grade titanium, mark upright, and provide a clear aftercare plan.

Fine-line tattoo

Scripts, micro symbols, and geometric minimalism with stable line weight. We plan x-height, kerning, and stroke length for clarity at reading distance. Typical needles: 3RL–5RL. Ideal for wrists, ribs, and ankles with careful placement.

  • From £90 • 30–60 minutes
  • Includes stencil and aftercare sheet

Blackwork & shading

Bold saturation, dot gradients, and structured shadow plans that keep contrast as the skin heals and ages. We map negative space and flow lines so the piece sits naturally over muscle groups.

  • From £160 • 1.5–3 hours
  • Half-day projects quoted on consult

Color realism

Layered builds with high-stability pigments and methodical packing for depth without overworking. We set palette with long-term contrast in mind and work in sections to manage trauma and dwell time.

  • From £220 • 2–4 hours
  • Day sessions on request

Piercing

Lobe, helix, conch, tragus, and curated ear projects with ASTM F‑136 titanium jewellery. Upright marking ensures symmetry in natural posture. We provide a simple saline routine to minimise irritation.

  • Lobe from £35 • Cartilage from £45
  • 10–25 minutes per piercing

Temporary ink

Skin-safe temporary pigments for placement trials, symmetry checks, and events. Helpful when testing scale on curved areas like forearms or collarbones before committing.

  • From £35 • 15–30 minutes
  • Fades over 5–10 days

Cover-ups

Design-led strategies to disguise previous work using flow, contrast, and texture. We are candid about feasibility—if laser lightening first will yield a better result, we will recommend it.

  • Consultation £40 (credited if booked)
  • Project pricing after assessment

Pricing guide

Transparent pricing with deposits to secure your slot. Final quotes depend on size, placement, complexity, and whether we work from a stencil or freehand map. We’ll confirm before needles touch skin.

How appointments work

  • Consult & sizing

    Share reference images, placement, and size in centimetres. We advise on readability, line weight, and healing windows, then confirm a quote and deposit.

  • Design & placement

    We prepare a clean stencil or freehand map and test placement upright. Micro-rotations align with anatomy for a natural flow that ages well.

  • Procedure & aftercare

    Sterile, single-use setup; premium inks; measured application. We wrap, brief aftercare, and check in within 48 hours to keep healing predictable.

Hygiene, safety, and aftercare

We operate to a strict sterile protocol. Needles and cartridges are single-use and opened in front of you. Surfaces are wrapped in barrier film and disinfected with hospital-grade solutions between clients. Machines and power supplies are bagged; artists wear new gloves for each stage of setup. For colour work, we patch-test pigments where appropriate. Our aftercare balances occlusion and breathability to prevent maceration and reduce irritation.

  • Single-use needles and cartridge systems
  • Hospital-grade disinfectants and barrier film
  • Premium, high-stability, often vegan pigments
  • Clear aftercare sheet and 48-hour check-in

Studio policy: services for adults 18+ with valid ID. We do not perform procedures under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Clients choose design and placement; we advise honestly, but final decisions are the client’s responsibility.
