All piercing’s have a base price, this is usually around £35. Some are slightly higher but the overall contributing factor to cost is the piece of jewellery the customer chooses for their piercing.
Tattoo pricing depends on the size of the tattoo, payment structures fall under one of three category’s – hourly, half day & full day. If you pop into the studio we can quote you on the price of your tattoo.
We pierce anyone from the age of 14 (with a parent present) however most piercings will not be available to you until the age of 16 (with valid I.D). Intimate piercings and nipples are not available until the age of 18 with valid I.D.
Tattoo customers are required to be 18 by LAW.
Prohibition of tattooing of minors:
it shall be an offence to tattoo a person under the age of eighteen except when the tattoo is performed for medical reasons by a duly qualified medical practitioner or by a person working under his direction, but it shall be a defence for a person charged to show that at the time the tattoo was performed he had reasonable cause to believe that the person tattooed was of or over the age of eighteen and did in fact so believe.
Unlike piercing, parental consent is NOT allowed. You CAN book a tattoo before you are 18 BUT the tattoo must occur after your 18th birthday and ID must be presented on the day of your appointment.
In our studio we are happy to answer any questions about the sterility of the piercing room & tattoo area, the jewellery, ink and our equipment. Any studio should happily answer theses questions for you without hostility and answer them to a satisfactory standard.
Studios should hold COSHH data sheets for all chemicals used in the sterilisation process of jewellery and equipment. These should be made available to you if requested.
Most body piercing studios will hold their jewellery in implant grade titanium. This should be standard practice across the UK. Studios should hold test certificates for their titanium to show that its implant grade.
In our studio we hold Implant grade titanium, solid 14k and 18k gold as well as platinum.
As well as the base materials, you have a choice of CZ’s, Synthetic Opals, Genuine Opals, Natural Stones, Precious and Semi Precious stones, including real Diamonds.
The short answer is no you do not, but in our studio the piercer & tattoo artists are fully first aid trained above and beyond that what is normally required in a workplace so we can deal with most situations.
Most tattoo artists will use latex gloves however if any customer has a latex allergy we have Nitrile gloves available upon request. Please state if you have a latex allergy when booking your appointment.
