APPROPRIATE CLOTHING

Ensure you are wearing clothing appropriate for your appointment. Obviously you should feel comfortable but we will need access to the area to give you the best service. For example, if you are getting your navel pierced, wear a top you can easily lift up. If you are getting your leg tattooed, you can wear shorts or a skirt.

SNACKS AND DRINKS

Please bring snacks and drinks with you to your appointment, especially if you are being tattooed. We recommend bringing water and a sugary drink to ensure you stay hydrated and energised throughout your experience.

A. PIERCINGS

For most piercings, we advise not to use numbing cream. This is because it can constrict/tighten the skin - so the piercing can look "straight" to start with, e.g. a navel piercing in line with the navel/stomach area. However, once the numbing cream has worn off and the skin has returned to normal, the piercing can move, thus no longer appearing "straight".

But, for other piercings, it may not be a problem.

Please always check with your piercer (before your appointment date) if you wish to use numbing cream, and they will advise you if/how it will affect the piercing and if they will still perform the service.

TATTOOS

Our artists generally don't mind if you want to use numbing cream for your appointment, provided you have done a patch test/used it before and know you will not react.

However, please still check with your artist (before your appointment date) if you wish to use it. Numbing creams can sometimes cause excess bleeding and colours to dull, so your artist may advise against using them for a specific area/design.

If your artist/piercer has confirmed they are okay with you using numbing cream, we recommend TKTX Yellow. To purchase and for instructions on how to apply, please click here. Please always perform a patch test before applying to large areas, as reactions can occur.

A. No. However, most piercings can be performed with parental consent if, under a certain age, tattoos are not. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to be tattooed, regardless of whether or not they have parental consent.

A. If you are under 16 and getting a piercing, the parent or legal guardian that you bring with you will be your ID, so you need not bring any other form of ID.
