How the studio works


Two service lines, two different briefs

Custom tattooing and permanent makeup run as separate practices with separate artists, separate equipment and separate aftercare. One studio, two ways in. A written quote is issued before any deposit is taken.

Custom tattooing

Your piece is drawn for your body, not copied from a flash sheet. Size, placement and line weight are agreed at the consultation, and the artist who draws it works your sessions from first line to last.

  • Custom work and cover-ups
  • Free consultation before booking
  • Session length confirmed in writing
Tattooing details and sizes

Permanent makeup

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattoo: pigment is placed into the upper layer of the skin, so results are measured in months, not days. Sensation varies by placement and by person, and a top-up visit is normally booked once the skin has settled.

  • Brows, lip colour, eyeliner
  • Top-up priced separately and quoted up front
  • Clients must be 18 or over
Permanent makeup details

The itemised list sits on the services page. Appointments are requested through the booking form.

Who can be tattooed or treated here?

Clients must be 18 or older, for tattoo work and for permanent makeup. Photo ID is checked at the appointment. No exceptions, no parental consent route.

What does the consent step involve?

Before anything is opened you sign a consent form and go through a short health check: medication, pregnancy, skin conditions, allergies. You can stop the session at any point.

How does it feel?

Sensation varies by placement. Ribs, spine, feet and the elbow crease feel sharper than the outer arm or thigh. Permanent makeup is usually described as lighter than a tattoo. Numbing cream is available, and how you feel it is individual.

How long is the healing window?

Surface healing runs about two to three weeks, and the deeper layers settle over four to six weeks. Follow the written aftercare sheet: no pool or sauna, no direct sun, no picking. Weeping or inflamed skin, or a fever, means you call the studio the same day.

When is the touch-up?

Permanent makeup touch-ups are booked four to eight weeks after the first session and are priced separately in the price list. Tattoo touch-ups are quoted in writing before the first session, so the number is known up front. See the published price table.
