SILVER NEEDLES

​We do not tattoo pregnant/breastfeeding women due to risk of infection. 
​
Please inform us of any medication you take. Blood thinners could possibly be a problem, however we’ve tattooed clients before on these. 
​
Diabetes and skin conditions could possibly effect the healing process of the tattoo so these need to be taken into consideration. 
 
We can offer patch tests for inks whereby the artist would tattoo dots of colours in a discreet place and a photographic itinerary would be taken. The client would then monitor for reactions over the healing period. The cost for a patch test would be £20.
 
It is advisable prior to your tattoo to keep out of the sun, use a nourishing moisturiser in the weeks leading up, keep well hydrated and rested. Avoid heavy alcohol and drugs. 
 
On the day of appointment, plan ahead to arrive on time, in comfortable, accessible clothing. Get a restful night's sleep, hydrate and eat breakfast. Bring snacks and sugary drinks as well as something to occupy you (that you can remain as still as possible for).
​
Deposits are required for every appointment (though we may offer walk-ins where feasible).  
 
Generally face, hand and neck tattoos are a no go, however enquiries for these can be directed to talk to an artist directly.
