FAQs

Do I need an appointment?

We do cater for walk-ins, however, as we are a busy studio, we cannot guarantee availability. Please feel free to make a booking.

How much will my tattoo cost?

Until we have spoken with you about your ideas, it isn’t possible to provide a price.

How old do I need to be to get a tattoo?

You must be 18 to be tattooed at the Parlour. We do not tattoo anyone under 18, regardless of parental consent. Every client will be required to provide a valid form of ID (Passport or Driving License).

Do I need to book a consultation?

You can pop into the studio at any time for an informal chat with the shop manager or any available artist. However, we recommend booking a consultation. A consultation is free; we only require a deposit once your tattoo is booked and before we begin drawing your design.

Do you cover up old tattoos?

Yes, our artists can do cover-ups. Please come in and talk to us about your options, as each cover-up presents its own challenges. We will work with you to find a design that works for you but also functions effectively as a cover-up.

Does getting tattooed hurt?

Everyone’s pain threshold is different. Some people find it uncomfortable, while others are remarkably calm throughout the experience. Most people say it isn’t as bad as they imagine, and many liken the sensation to ‘kitten scratches’. Many people find the outline more uncomfortable than the shading.

Do I need an appointment?

Come and visit us in person to make a booking and discuss your tattoo. Alternatively, use our online booking form [Link to booking form].

Will you send me the design before my appointment?

Designs will be provided in person once you’re at the studio, at which point any changes can be made.

Do you accept credit/debit cards?

Yes, we do accept card payments.

Do you require a deposit?

A £50 – £100 deposit is required for all bookings, this can be paid by card, cash, bank transfer or PayPal. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE, and go towards the price of the tattoo on the day of the booked appointment. If multiple sessions are required the deposit is deducted from the final session. If more than one person is booking in, a deposit must be left for each person. Deposits cannot be transferred from one person to another.

What if I want to cancel my appointment?

Cancellation Policy

New Clients should arrive 10 minutes ahead of schedule to complete the required consent forms.  We require at least 24 hours’ notice if you wish to cancel or reschedule your appointment. If you cancel or change your appointment within the 24-hour period or fail to attend your appointment, we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of 30%. If your appointments are prepaid, you will forfeit one session of your prepaid program.

Refund Policy

Tattoo Society Ltd has a strict ‘no refund’ policy on purchases (including but not limited to all prepaid programs, whether these programs are paid in full or not) for change of mind, if your circumstances change, or if you choose to discontinue treatments. Prepaid programs will expire and automatically be cancelled after 12 months from the date of purchase. No refunds or exchanges will be given. All treatments and services are not transferable to other treatments, other individuals, or other studios.

A refund can only be given as long as there is a medical reason where you are no longer able to receive a treatment or tattoo and a letter by a medical professional must be presented to the studio.
