Question 1

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

All bookings are made online. Once you've been in touch and Becks has confirmed how long your tattoo will take, she'll point you to the right booking link. You pick a date and time that works for you and pay your £49 deposit to secure it.

Question 2

Can I get a refund on my booking fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you cancel with more than 48 hours' notice, you will receive a full refund of your £49 deposit. Cancellations made within 48 hours of your appointment or no-shows will forfeit the deposit. If you need to reschedule, one reschedule is allowed per booking. Please get in touch with Becks as soon as possible if your plans change.

Question 3

Can I just book online without enquiring first?

Accepted Answer

Please don't. All session lengths need to be confirmed by Becks before you book. If you book without speaking to her first, your appointment may need to be cancelled and your deposit will not be refunded. It only takes a quick message to get the ball rolling.

Question 4

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Cancellations made with more than 48 hours' notice will receive a full deposit refund. Cancellations within 48 hours or no-shows will forfeit the deposit. One reschedule is allowed per booking. Please get in touch with Becks as soon as possible if your plans change.

Question 5

Can I get tattooed if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to avoid getting a tattoo while pregnant or breastfeeding due to the risk of infection and uncertainty around how ink interacts with the body during this time.

Question 6

How long will my tattoo take?

Accepted Answer

Every tattoo is different. The time depends on the size, level of detail, and placement of your design. Becks will confirm the exact session length after reviewing your idea. Sessions can range from one hour to a full day.

Question 7

How much does a tattoo cost?

Accepted Answer

There is a minimum trolley set-up fee of £50. Sessions are charged at £50 per hour.  A £49 deposit is taken at the time of booking and is applied to your final total on the day.

Question 8

Do you do cover ups?

Accepted Answer

I dont do cover ups for these reasons:

They have to be bigger and darker than the existing tattoo

Different compounds branded inks can cause reactions

Question 9

Do you tattoo under 18s?

Accepted Answer

No. Even with parental consent, you must be over 18 to get a tattoo.

Question 10

Do you do walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

No. All appointments are booked in advance following a conversation with Becks. This makes sure the right amount of time is set aside for your tattoo.

Question 11

Is getting a tattoo painful?

Accepted Answer

Most tattoos involve some level of discomfort, but the feeling depends on your pain tolerance and the area being tattooed. Spots with thinner skin or closer to bone can feel more sensitive. If you have concerns, mention them in the contact form and Becks will guide you.

Question 12

What should I bring to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Just yourself. Make sure you've eaten beforehand, wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed, and avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your session.

Question 13

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

Accepted Answer

The surface of your tattoo typically heals within 1 to 2 weeks. The deeper layers can take up to 6 weeks to fully settle. Following the correct aftercare is essential for clean healing and long-lasting results. If you have any concerns about healing, don't hesitate to get in touch with Becks.

Question 14

How do I take care of my new tattoo?

Accepted Answer

You will receive full written aftercare instructions during your appointment. In general, you should keep the tattoo clean, use mild soap, avoid direct sunlight and avoid soaking the tattoo in water.

For full guidance, please visit the Aftercare page on this website. If you have questions, send them through the contact form.

Question 15

Can I bring someone with me?

Accepted Answer

The studio is private and designed for a calm experience, so guests are not usually permitted. This includes children. If you need support, please get in contact with Becks before your appointment.
