If you are running late please let us know. There may be another client in after your alloted time. Lateness may result in loss of your booking fee AND your appointment.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">It is a condition of our environment health license that all clients provide ID before we can tattoo them. Driving licences and<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">passports are ideal.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">We cannot tattoo anyone under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs. Avoid all such substances for at least 24 hours prior to your tattoo appointment or this will result in the forfeiture of any booking fee and potentially any future work being undertaken. This is a condition of our environmental health license.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">We highly recommend eating a balanced meal within the hour before your tattoo appointment to maintain regular blood sugar levels and avoid any unnecessary physical discomfort such as feeling nauseous, dizzy or faint. Avoid excess consumption of sugar and caffeine before your session.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">A bottled drink is recommended as keeping fluids up is essential to a healthy healing and a comfortable session. Bottled drinks are preferred as they are less likely to spill. For sessions likely to be more than a couple of hours we advise bringing a packed lunch and comfort snacks.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">We ask that you exfoliate and moisturise your skin for a few days before your appointment. Please avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and fake tans. This will make the process quicker, more comfortable and results in a better heal. Skin must also be clean. We will shave you if needed so you don\u2019t get a shaving rash that can affect the quality and comfort of the tattoo.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">It is illegal for us to apply anaesthetics for the purpose of tattooing. Due to the very high amount of dangerous fake products for sale online we will not tattoo you if you apply numbing products to your skin. The use of these products often creates more problems in getting your new tattoo than they solve. We cannot accept any responsibility for complications caused by the clients use of these products. Self application of these products may result in the forfeiture of your booking fee and inability to get your tattoo. Don\u2019t worry we will do our best to keep you as relaxed<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">and comfortable as we can.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">We do our very best to protect your clothing but we cannot guarantee you will not get ink on them. We highly recommend choosing your clothing with this in mind, do not wear your favourites! We cannot accept responsibility for any damage to clothing while you are being tattooed. It is important to wear clothing that will allow easy access to the area to be tattooed and it\u2019s surrounded area. For example: Upper arm we recommend a vest or loose sleeveless top. For legs loose trousers, shorts, skirts etc. For back tattoos a zip up hoodie or similar worn backwards is ideal. Dress for comfort and accessibility. In colder weather comfy gloves, warm socks and a hat can help as even if the room is warm the body can chill. For tattoos in more intimate areas we have methods of covering you to maintain dignity and comfort. Talk to your artist if you need more clarification. Clothing must be clean. We will do our best to get you as comfortable as possible.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Distracting and sudden noises such as message alerts, ringtones and video chatter are not welcome in the studio.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">When we are tattooing you we may not be very conversational as we are concentrating on creating your tattoo. We don\u2019t mind if you want to wear earphones to watch\/listen to your device but please keep the external sounds on your device off.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">We do need you to remain relaxed and still during tattooing so bear this in mind.
