Services designed for repeatable quality
This page explains what we offer, what’s included in each service, and how we plan sessions so the work heals cleanly. Pricing is shared as practical guidance because final cost depends on size, placement, and the level of detail. After a short consult, we confirm an accurate quote and a time block before anything is booked.
- Stencil fit and placement checks, including how the piece reads in motion.
- Style alignment and line hierarchy so details do not collapse as the tattoo settles.
- A realistic time block and session plan, especially for larger pieces or multiple placements.
- Aftercare steps matched to the service, with a short “what to avoid” list.
Core services
A good service list doesn’t just name the thing; it explains what changes the time block and why. Below are the services we perform most often, along with typical time ranges and price guidance. Final quotes are confirmed after a consult because placement, skin texture, and detail density can change both session length and healing characteristics.
Custom tattoo
Artist-led design built from your references and constraints. We focus on stencil fit, consistent line weight, and clean saturation—small technical choices that matter years later.
Piercing
Placement, jewellery fit, and a realistic healing plan. We discuss swelling windows and irritation triggers by placement.
Temporary tattoo
A practical way to test scale and placement. Useful for events, photoshoots, or planning a future permanent piece.
Commissioned artwork
Custom illustration and art pieces designed outside the tattoo format. This can be a standalone artwork or the foundation for a future tattoo brief. We agree on usage, format, and revision scope upfront so expectations stay clean.
Aftercare guidance
Every appointment includes written steps and a short explanation of what “normal” healing looks like, so you are not guessing.
How we plan sessions
A predictable outcome comes from a predictable process. For tattoos, we separate design decisions from needle time: that reduces rushed calls mid-session. For piercing, we treat jewellery choice and fit as part of the service, not an afterthought. Either way, the session is planned around a time block that matches the work.
-
01
Send the brief
A short description, placement, approximate size, and references. If the idea is fuzzy, describe the mood and we will tighten it.
-
02
Route to the right artist
We match by style and the technical demands of the placement. That matters for fine line, blackwork saturation, and realism texture work.
-
03
Confirm scope and time block
We agree on a realistic session length and price. For larger pieces, we propose a staged plan rather than forcing a marathon day.
-
04
Leave with aftercare
Written steps, realistic healing notes, and a short checklist of what to avoid. No vague instructions.
Pricing principles (what changes the quote)
Tattoo quotes are not arbitrary; they reflect time and technical risk. Two pieces that look similar in a photo can require different approaches once placement and line density are considered. The notes below explain how we think about pricing so you can plan the project with fewer surprises.
Size and readable detail
Smaller tattoos aren’t always faster if the design still demands tight detail. We may recommend increasing size slightly so line spacing and negative space remain readable after healing. That often improves longevity more than any ink choice.
For realism and dense blackwork, the quote is driven by packing time and the number of passes needed to keep saturation even without overworking the skin.
Placement and movement
Areas with higher movement or friction can require extra planning. We account for how a stencil distorts across joints, how lines sit with muscle movement, and how clothing contact affects early healing. Those factors can change both time and recommended design structure.
For piercings, anatomy suitability and jewellery sizing are part of the appointment. We do not force a placement that does not fit.
Important notes
These notes are part of how we keep the studio process clear and safe. They also help keep expectations aligned during the consult and appointment. If you have questions about suitability, healing timelines, or what to avoid in the days after the session, ask during the consult and we will answer in plain language.
- All services are performed by professional artists.
- The studio follows hygiene routines and safety practices appropriate for tattooing and piercing.
- Clients remain responsible for final decisions on design choices and placement.
You can request a consultation using the form on the Contact page, or call the studio during opening hours. When the schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day consultations; tattoo and piercing appointments are confirmed after the consult clarifies scope and timing.
Not sure which service fits?
Send a short brief and we will route it to the right artist, suggest a time block, and confirm a quote after the consult. If you already know the service type, that is fine too—include placement and approximate size.
- Service type: tattoo, piercing, temporary, or artwork
- Placement and approximate size (cm or a clear reference)
- Style references (fine line, blackwork, realism) and any must-avoid elements
- Timing preferences (weekday vs weekend)
