Q. Where can your tattoo studio be found?

A. We are located at 120 Acre Lane in Brixton, South West London. We are a short walk away from both Brixton tube station and Clapham North tube station. Please visit our contact us page for a map and full directions.

Q. I want a tattoo but am not sure what I want?

A. If you want a tattoo, there isn’t much point in contacting us until you have a rough idea of what you want. We can’t think for you as a tattoo is very individual and what one-person likes another may not. You can call into the studio to look through the designs and you don't have to have what's there. All designs can be altered and changed to your requirements.

Q. Does getting a tattoo hurt?

A. This all depends on your pain threshold. Whilst you are being tattooed, Needles are placing pigment under the surface of the skin into the dermis. This will cause some discomfort but nothing like having you arm chopped off. Just an irritation which won't go away until the tattoo artist has finished his job. This is the only way to describe the sensation.

Q. What is an all day session?

A.  An all day tattoo session is you being tattooed all day. This is only for large custom work. Normally with with this type of work it is done in separate hourly sessions which takes longer for the tattoo to be completed. Doing an all day session also saves you money.

Q. Is it safe?

A. Yes. All the equipment is sterlised and for single use, so there is no chance of cross contamination. Needles will be taken out of packets in front of you, pigments (Inks) Will be poured into disposable ink caps in front of you. These will also be destroyed after you have been tattooed, you can even watch if you want. To find our more about our procedure, click here

A. Tattoos start from £30, But if you contact the studio by phone or email it is impossible to quote you a design.You must come into the studio to show and tell me what design you wish to have. We have thousands of designs to choose from or you can simply bring your own design in.

Q. Why is the deposit non-refundable?

A. Once we have booked in your appointment time that session will be dedicated to you and your tattoo. There will be loads of preparation like drawing and setting up the equipment etc.. before you arrive at the studio. So when you do not turn up, arrive late, reschedule or cancel the appointment there will have been loads of OUR time and materials wasted.

A. Opening times are 11am until 6pm Tuesday to Saturday. Appointments only on Sundays. It is recommended that you call the studio before you pop down in case we are fully booked up, or have decided to close early. The studio is closed Mondays due to a hectic 6 day week of tattooing.
