Oh my dear!
You can book your appointment through our website; there’s a little form where you can tell us all about your idea. Don’t be shy, write down everything you’ve dreamed up: what you want, where, how big, any pictures or bits of inspiration too.Once we read your message, we’ll get back to you nice and quick to chat and set up your session.
*Sometimes our email may sneak into your junk folder please keep an eye on it, just to be sure!

Yes, lovey, we kindly ask for a small deposit to hold your appointment. It goes toward your final tattoo cost and helps us get everything ready just for you. As we work by appointment only, this little gesture helps us keep things cosy and organised. If something comes up, we’re happy to reschedule just give us a bit of notice, and your deposit will still be safe.
(You need to call the shop or make any changes to appointments in person. We cannot accept any changes via email)

Yes, sweetie, we welcome walk-ins every day! If you’re feeling spontaneous or fancy something small, just come on by we’d love to see you. But if you’ve got a more detailed or special idea in mind, it’s best to book ahead so we can take good care of every little detail.
-
Our minimum is £80, love. But the final price really depends on what you’re dreaming up your design, where it goes, and the artist’s own way of working. Every idea is a little different! We always try our best to find something lovely that fits your budget. If you're not sure, just send us a little note through the booking form and we’ll help you out with a proper quote.
-
You need to be 18 or over, darling that’s the law here in the UK.
We’ll need to see a little bit of ID before your appointment, just to be sure. No sneaky tricks now, even if you’ve got a very baby face!
-
Of course, love! You're more than welcome to bring one special someone to keep you company (no groups). Just a wee reminder our little studio is cosy, so we kindly ask you not to bring a whole crowd or little ones. We like to keep the space calm, comfy and focused so your tattoo can come out just right.

Oh, choosing the right artist is like picking the perfect cup of tea everyone’s got their own flavour! Have a look through our “grandchildren” work (on the website or Instagram) and see who makes your heart do a little dance. Each one has their own magic touch. And if you’re not sure, don’t worry, pop us a message with your idea and we’ll help you find the perfect fit. We love a good match!

We can tattoo most parts of your lovely self, but there are a few little spots we tend to avoid, like the palms and the insides of the fingers. They’re just a bit naughty when it comes to healing and often don’t hold the ink nicely.
If you do decide on a finger tattoo, just a wee note: we don’t offer a free touch-up for that area, as it all comes down to how you look after it. Fingers can be fussy little things! But we’ll give you all the tips to take care of it as best you can.
-
Ah, darling, tattoos can hurt a bit it’s like a little pinch here and there but it really depends on your own pain tolerance and where you’re getting it done. Some spots, like the ribs or elbows, can be a bit more ticklish, while others, like your outer arm or thigh, might feel a bit easier. But don’t you worry, our artists will make sure you’re as comfy as possible throughout the whole thing.
*"We make tattoos with love."

Don’t you worry, darling! Your artist will explain exactly how to look after your new tattoo during your session. And, just in case, we’ll give you a little printed sheet with all the steps so you won’t forget a thing. We want your tattoo to heal beautifully, so take care of it just as we tell you. And if you need any help, just give us a shout!
*If you're thinking of going on holiday to a beach or sunny destination in less than two weeks, it's better to wait until after your holiday to get the tattoo.
-
No piercings here, love . We stick to tattoos only! That’s where our heart is, and we like to put all our care and creativity into each little piece of ink.
Before you get your tattoo, listen to me, dear:
Nana’s advice
-
Make sure you’re putting on some nice moisturiser for a few days before the big day. Soft, nourished skin takes the tattoo better and heals much quicker. You’ll thank me later!
-
Don’t even think about coming with sunburn, alright? That’ll just irritate your skin and make it harder to tattoo. Give it a break from the sun for a little while.
-
Darling, no late nights before the appointment. A good night’s sleep helps your body stay strong, and you’ll feel much better during the session. Rest is important, trust me.
-
Please, don’t come in on an empty stomach. I don’t want you fainting, love! Have something filling, even if it’s just a little snack. It’ll keep your energy up, and you’ll feel much better.
-
It’s better to stay away from alcohol or anything else that might thin your blood. You’ll bleed more, and that makes it harder for the tattoo artist. Water’s your best friend before a tattoo, trust me on this one.
-
If you can, skip those painkillers just for today. They can make you bleed more, and we don’t want that. If you really need them, though, do what’s best for you.
-
Dress comfortably, my dear. You want to be at ease, but also make sure they can easily reach the area where you’re getting tattooed. And keep it clean, it’s important!
-
Hydration is key, sweetheart. Drink water throughout the day. Well-hydrated skin is happy skin, and that helps the tattoo process go smoothly.
-
If music calms your nerves, bring your headphones along. Or perhaps a podcast? Anything to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during the session. We want you to feel good.
-
Remember, darling, a tattoo is meant to be fun! Don’t stress, enjoy the experience. The grandma wants to see you happy and with positive vibes, always.
