🪄 How the Bespoke Tattoo Service Works
Book a free 30-minute consultation online with your preferred artist to meet in person.
After booking, you’ll receive an email with a consultation form.
The completed form is sent to the artist’s home studio for review.
During the consultation:
You’ll discuss your ideas in detail.
At the 15-minute mark, the artist will confirm if you’d like to proceed.
If so, they’ll schedule your tattoo appointment and take a £50 or £100 deposit based on your design.
The remaining 15 minutes will be used to begin your design.
Same-day tattoos may be offered if the artist has availability and feels confident in completing your design on the spot.
FAQs
Will I receive a mock-up of my tattoo before the appointment?
No, you’ll see the start of your design during the initial consultation and the final design on the day of your tattoo.
Can I make changes to the tattoo before or at the appointment?
You’re welcome to make small tweaks on the day of your tattoo, but full design changes can’t be made at that stage. We recommend discussing any specific ideas or concerns during your original consultation and if small tweaks are allowed at the time of the tattoo appointment.
Is the free consultation in person or virtual?
Currently, all consultations are in person.
What about touch-ups?
We recommend having any touch-ups completed by your original artist. Each artist has their own unique style and technique, and we want to maintain the integrity of your original piece.
How many complimentary touch-ups can I have, and when should I book?
At the moment, you’re welcome to return for one complimentary touch-up within 3 months of your original appointment.
We recommend waiting 3-4 weeks before booking a touch-up to allow your tattoo proper time to heal.
Tattoo Aftercare
Sweating & exercise: Avoid excessive sweating for at least 2 weeks after your tattoo.
Swimming & soaking: Wait at least 4 weeks before swimming or soaking in baths/hot tubs.
Showering: You can shower normally from day one, but avoid scrubbing the area and keep it moisturised.
Same-day tattoos may be offered if the artist has availability and feels confident in completing your design on the spot.
