Does
it hurt?
Pain is really relative - everyone has a different tolerancy to pain.
Many people describe a tattoo as uncomfortable, but not too painful -
more of a 'scratching'. Many people are nervous getting their first tattoo,
and realise that their expectation of the pain is far worse than what
it actually feels like. Put it this way - millions of people return time
after time for more tattoos, so it can't be that bad!
Different people state different areas of the body as being 'the worst',
but typically bony surface areas like the feet, wrists and ribs are considered
more painful than muscular areas such as the arms or legs.
What should
I get, and where?
This is all a matter of personal taste. You can get whatever you want
- your only limit is your imagination. As far as where you should get
it goes, it's up to you how much you want to show it off. Many people
love bold placements that everyone can see; others prefer having a tattoo
where it can be easily covered up with normal clothing. Your body also
dictates what will suit you in terms of shape and placement, and your
artist will advise on this. If you're having trouble deciding on or describing
what you want, speak to us! We create custom designs from scratch for
many customers.
How much will
it cost?
We will not provide a 'price list' of any sort on this website, or via
email for one good reason: our tattoo artists are precisely that - artists!
Each piece is different, each customer is different, and the time and
methods taken differ greatly. Your tattoo will be on your body for the
rest of your life and unique to you, so choosing one based on price instead
of quality is not a sensible idea. Please visit us to discuss the piece
you want and we can give an accurate quotation. There's no such thing
as a good and cheap tattoo!
How long will
it take?
Again, each piece is different, each customer is different, and the time
and methods taken differ greatly. Basically, a quality tattoo takes as
long as it takes to do it properly. Your artist will give you a time estimate
when you book your appointment(s).
Can I still
get tattooed when I'm sick?
Getting a tattoo when your immune system isn't at its best isn't a good
idea. You'll need your strength and your white blood cells to heal your
tattoo, something your body won't be able to do if it's already doing
battle against virus and bacteria. Not to mention the fact it's inconsiderate
to bring your illness into the tattoo studio and risk passing the germs
onto your artist! If you have an appointment, call and reschedule for
when you're feeling well again. Note:
If you suffer from haemophilia, hepatitis or any other blood-related
illness please speak to our artists, in confidence if you wish, for further
advice.
Alcohol and
drug usage
We will refuse to tattoo anyone who appears intoxicated - alcohol thins
the blood, making you bleed more easily, making it more difficult for
your artist to tattoo - and it doesn't do your skin any favours for healing
either! We recommend that you don't drink alcohol for 24 hours before
your appointment. We will also refuse to tattoo anyone under the influence
of drugs as they all impair the body in one way or another.
