Where are You?
We're on Grosvenor Road in Ripley, Derbyshire. Around the corner from the White Lion Pub just across from the town square.
Where can I PArk?
Best option is the Co-Op on the main road as this is free for the first 2 hours and you pay on exiting so you don't have to worry about adding more time during your visit.
Can I use numbing cream?
Because it can cause severe allergic reactions we don't recommend their use in general but they also effect the skin texture and the application/healing of your tattoo.
This often means tattoos take longer to apply and frequently require touch ups which counters any benefits from being partially numb for the first 30 minutes of your tattoo
How can I pay?
We don't have a card machine so currently can only take payments either by bank transfer or cash
How old do you need to be to get a tattoo?
For tattoos you must be 18 and be prepared to show valid photo ID confirming your age.
​
How old do you need to be for piercings?
Because your body can change quite a bit before its finished growing I don't recommend certain piercings and won't perform them unless you're above the following ages;
Ear-lobes, 7+
Belly-button piercing, 13+
Ear-cartilage 14+
Facial, 16+
Nipples, 18+
I also reserve the right to refuse to perform a piercing if I don't believe it will successfully heal, Some anatomies just don't accommodate certain piercings but I will check this with you at the time before any charge
