Frequently Asked Tattoo Questions

To speed up the booking process, please include a clear description of what you would like tattooed, reference images, details and photos of the area to be tattooed, and the days or dates that suit you.

Yes. A booking fee is required to secure your appointment. Booking fees are £200 per day, or 50% for bookings of multiple back-to-back days. The booking fee is 100% non-refundable and will be deducted from the final price of your tattoo.

Any major change to the agreed design or subject matter may not be accepted once your appointment has been booked. Please make sure you are happy with your idea before confirming your booking.

If you need to cancel or change your appointment time, please contact Matt via WhatsApp as soon as possible. At least 7 days’ notice is required to move an appointment. If less than 7 days’ notice is given, a new booking fee will be required.

If you are running late, please call immediately and let Matt know when you expect to arrive. If you arrive late without making contact beforehand, Matt reserves the right to cancel your appointment without refunding the booking fee.

Matt’s full day rate is £600. The final cost can depend on the size, detail, placement and amount of work required for your tattoo.

All appointments start at 11:30am unless stated otherwise when your booking is confirmed.

Have a good breakfast or a substantial meal before your appointment, and make sure you drink plenty of water. Please do not drink alcohol the night before, as it can affect your tattoo and make your skin more difficult to work on. Matt will not tattoo anyone who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Photos help Matt understand the placement, available space, skin area and how the design may sit on the body. This makes it easier to plan the tattoo properly before booking.
