Wear your story.

I create custom fine line work, with a particular love for florals, script and ornamental pieces. Every design is considered for the body it will live on — its scale, movement, placement and how the detail will settle over time.

Not at all. Many of my clients come to me for their first tattoo. We take our time with the design, placement and every question before we begin, and you can ask for a break whenever you need one.

Everyone experiences tattooing differently, but the anticipation is often worse than the appointment itself. Placement and session length make a difference, and we can pause whenever you need.

Yes. Bring the idea, story, handwriting or references that show what you are drawn to. They guide our conversation; they are never simply copied. Your final piece is created for your body, placement and proportions.

Designs are not sent in advance. I prepare from the brief we have agreed, then we go through the design, size and placement together at the appointment before tattooing begins. Small refinements are part of that conversation; a completely new direction may need more time and a new appointment.

Before opening, join the waiting list. The first appointments will be offered there. When booking opens, I will contact the list with confirmed availability. Once we have agreed your piece and date, your appointment is secured by the deposit through Get Ink.

You will hear from me before dates are announced more widely. Joining the list does not reserve an appointment or require payment. When I am ready to take bookings, I will invite you to share your idea and availability so I can consider your piece properly.

Each piece is quoted individually because size, placement, detail and working time all shape the price. The studio minimum is £80, and I will explain the price before you confirm your appointment.

A £40 deposit secures standard appointments. An £80 deposit applies to full-day appointments. Your deposit comes off the final tattoo price and is non-refundable. With at least 72 hours' notice, it may be transferred once to a new agreed date. The full terms are in the booking policy.

Your deposit is paid securely through Get Ink. The remaining balance can be paid in cash, by bank transfer, or through a Get Ink payment link using card or Apple Pay.

Topical numbing products may be used for some appointments, but you must let me know before using one. Choose an appropriate product from a reputable source and follow its instructions exactly. I will assess the skin on the day, and we may need to change or reschedule the appointment if the area is irritated or unsuitable. The numbing cream policy explains what to tell me and when.

Arrive rested, eat properly beforehand, stay hydrated and wear something that gives us comfortable access to the placement. If you feel unwell or the skin is irritated, message me before travelling.

You may come alone or bring one companion. The studio is private and appointments are one to one, so I cannot accommodate groups.

You must be 18 or over to be tattooed. I may ask to see valid photographic identification.

Pay-by-plate street parking is available around Wellington Square and nearby. The first two hours are currently free, but you must register your vehicle at the machine. For a longer appointment, please check the signs and machine beside your chosen space, as limits and charges can vary.

Tell me when you enquire or as soon as you can before the appointment. I will discuss your needs privately and explain what can be arranged for the studio and the session. The studio is on the ground floor, but the entrance is raised above pavement level and reached by a flight of stone steps with handrails on both sides. There is no step-free entrance at present.

You leave with clear aftercare guidance and everything you need for the first stage of healing. Follow it carefully, give your piece time, and contact me if you are unsure about anything. The aftercare and healing guide is here whenever you need it.

Not necessarily. Every piece and every body heals differently. Please allow at least 30 days, then send clear, well-lit photographs. Where normal healing genuinely needs refinement, one complimentary touch-up may be offered within 12 weeks of the original appointment, subject to the Tattoo Touch-Up & Refinement Policy.
