FAQS
How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?
It is an offence to tattoo anyone under the age of 18.
I.D will be requested if you appear to be under 25 years of age.
​
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. We are an appointment only studio so do not facilitate walk in's. Our artists are booked in advance and take time on their designs for clients to make each piece of art unique. On a rare occasion where we have cancellations, it will be announced on our social media pages and the artist will post their available designs.
​
How do I book an appointment?
You can make enquiries for bookings via our Facebook Page, Instagram or email. Please include as much information in your enquiry as possible. Including size roughly in inches, location on the body, colour or black and grey, preferred style and attach reference images if applicable. Our artists manage their own diaries so once this information is retained by us, we can allocate and put you in touch with the right artist for your requirements.
​
Do I need to book a consultation?
Most of the time, all communication can be completed over messenger/email.
However if you would prefer a face to face meeting, please let us know.
​
How much will my tattoo cost?
We always try to give an accurate price at the time of booking but if having larger pieces, for example, a sleeve, this can be impossible to price and will require multiple sessions.
​
What is your cancellation policy?
All cancellations/rearranged appointments require 72 hours notice. After this time your booking fee will be retained and another will be required to book a new appointment. If you fail to show for your appointment, the same will apply.
​
Do you do cover ups?
Yes we do! All of our artists are accomplished in cover ups. We also do reworks, so if you'd like to breathe some life into an old tattoo, please contact us.
​
Do you offer Piercings?
We do! Please contact Nova Body Piercing on Facebook, Instagram or email for bookings.
​
Do you require a booking fee?
Yes. A £100 booking fee is required for all day sittings. Fees for smaller sessions vary from artist to artist. The fee is required to hold your appointment and shows a commitment from yourself. Once a booking fee has been paid, your appointment will be confirmed in our system. The booking fee is none refundable. It is then deducted from the total on the day of your appointment.
​
Does having a tattoo hurt?
Yes. Anyone that says it doesn't is telling fibs but it is tolerable which is why people always come back for more. Remember, everybody processes and deals with pain differently. You won't know until you try :)
​
What are your rates?
Hourly rates vary between artists. Some of our artists choose to price by piece rather than have an hourly rate. Please see our Meet the Team section on the home page to discover their prices.
​
Can I bring a friend?
Please arrive to your appointment alone as we are limited on space. Carer's are welcome to attend your appointment with you.
​
Will I see my design before?
Yes. Artists work in order of who's booked in. They aim to show you your design a few days before appointment. You can make any changes you wish to at this time.
​
What should I do before my tattoo appointment?
Have a good nights rest, have a good meal and refrain from drinking alcohol.
​
Should I bring anything?
Your artists will be all ready for you so just bring yourself. Tea and coffee is provided but feel free to bring your own drinks. Bringing some snacks is a good idea to keep up your energy levels. Some people like to download games to play on their phone to pass the time. There is free wi-fi in the studio, so feel free to bring a tablet to stream your favourite shows. If fortunate to look under 25, bring I.D. as it will be requested.
​
How can I pay?
We accept cash in the studio or bank transfer/PayPal prior to your appointment.
We also have a card machine for senior artist, Dan and body piercer.
