Phoenix Tattoo

Ross Everitt - £60 per hour or £300 for a full day session

We have a minimum charge for small tattoos of one hour, so either £60 or £70 depending again on the artist you choose.

If you would like to discuss your idea for a tattoo, the best way to liaise with an artist is by either messaging our page or by emailing [email protected]. We will then look at your idea and let you know their thoughts. If you'd prefer to speak to someone in person please pop into the studio and speak to the front desk team, who will be happy to answer any queries you might have.

If you are booking a large tattoo, say upper outer arm, we’d advise you to book 6-12 hours depending upon the intricacy of the design. For a full sleeve or back piece, we’d advise anywhere between 20 and 40 hours, with a minimum gap of 3 weeks in between sittings to allow healing.

We operate a booking system and the way our booking system works is we ask for a deposit to be paid at the time of the booking. Payment can be made by popping into the studio with cash, alternatively we can take a card payment over the phone, we can take a PayPal payment or a bank transfer. We also operate a 48-hour cancellation policy, if at any time you miss an appointment or cancel without enough notice you will lose that deposit and all subsequent appointments will be cancelled unless a new deposit is brought in (See full cancellation policy for further details – this can be found either at the bottom of this information or pinned to the top of our page).

We design custom tattoos. Customers usually start off an enquiry with proving us with either a google image or the image of an already completed tattoo. Please note that we'd be able to do something similar to the design you sent and we can use it as a base but I'm afraid that we don't directly copy another artists work or an internet found design. It’s not fair on the artist who did it originally, it’s actually a breach of copyright and also, it’s also not fair on you. We'd rather give you a one off unique piece of artwork that no one else has got! If you want a directly copy then I’m sorry we are not the tattooists for you.

We will work with you on your design to the best of our ability however our decision on artwork is final. We know what will work as a tattoo and what will look good. We have your best interests at heart so please respect us and listen to our advice. Good tattoos take time, if you want something quick and cheap please try somewhere else and we’ll see you in a few months for a cover up!!

When undergoing large scale pieces i.e. sleeves, back pieces etc, we recommend full day sittings. They are a set price and are better value for money than paying by the hour. Below is a some information regarding a full day tattoo session;

- Session times - The number of hours in a full day session depends in the day you choose. A full day session is 8 hours during a mid-week day or 6 hours on a weekend.

Monday - Friday - 10am - 6pm

Saturday – 10am – 4pm

Sunday – 12 noon – 6pm

- Session times include preparation, design agreement, sizing and set up time. Also included is time for breaks and lunch. On a typical mid week session, you will commence tattooing around 11ish (dependant on design changes). You will finish either when the design is complete, our closing time arrives (see above session times) or if you’ve decided that you need to stop the session. On an average mid week session, typical overall tattooing time is around 6-6.5 hours.

- If you commit to a full day session by booking one then you must pay for a full day session. You can not reduce your hours once the session has been booked.

- We have the right to call time on your session should you not be feeling well during the session or should we feel as though the skin is becoming overworked and unable to take any more tattooing. We have the right to put your health at the foremost of our decision process. Should we have to call time on your session you will still be subject to the full day charge.

- Your booking is not confirmed until the deposit is paid. A deposit for a full day is £100

- The remaining balance of your tattoo will be paid on the day of booking.

- Our 48-hour deposits and cancellation policy is in place for all bookings. (See full deposits and cancellations policy for more information)

- If you are late to your tattoo session, we will happily commence once you arrive. However we will still finish the tattoo at our advertised session closing time. We will not stay later. We are also entitled to continue to take our breaks.

When will my design be drawn up? - Our front desk team to liaise with you at the discussion stage or the booking stage to ascertain your ideas for your tattoo design, They will encourage you to supply us with as much information and reference photos as possible.

We will already have discussed the fact that we don’t copy other tattoos or internet found designs, however should you have ones that you like, they will attach these to the booking, along with any notes that you have given them. This will act as a visual guide for the tattooist as to the type of style you like.

I'm afraid that due to the artist’s workloads, your design will only be ready for you to view on the day of your booking itself and not before. Should you wish to make any changes to your design, they can be made on the day of your booking. Nowadays the artists design electronically with iPads and therefore it is relatively easy should you wish to make changes to a design

Frequently Asked Questions Can I get a tattoo before I’m 18 with parent’s consent? It is illegal to tattoo anyone under the age of 18, there is no such thing as parent’s consent when it comes to tattooing. The 1969 Tattooing of Minors Act states this. Anyone who does carry out a tattoo can be fined and their council licence taken away from them, I’m afraid that we will not risk our reputation or our livelihood. Does it hurt? The pain is different for everybody, usually people are pleasantly surprised! Most describe it as a scratching pain. It is true some parts of the body are more painful than others, like the ribs. How long will my tattoo take? It depends on the design you have chosen, ask in the studio & we will try to give you a rough idea, but with larger scale work it’s not usually possible to say. How much will my tattoo cost? Again, this depends on the design you have chosen. With small pieces, we will be able to give you a finished price, however with larger pieces/sleeves its will just be done by the hour/day and it’s impossible to tell you exactly how many hours something will take, where possible we will try to give you an estimated guide. For example, a full sleeve could take anywhere between 20-40 hours depending on the content. How longs the waiting list? Each of the artists has a different length wait, please come in to the studio with your ideas and we can let you know who would be best for your chosen design & their waiting times. Please don't be offended if your chosen artist recommends another member of the team, this is simply because they each have different styles of work and will be better suited to your design. LASER REMOVAL As with the tattoos we operate a booking system. We ask for a deposit equivalent to 50% of your quoted session. This deposit is redeemable at your last laser session. We also operate a 48-hour cancellation policy for the laser removal.

PIERCINGS These are done on a walk-in basis, there is no need for an appointment. We pierce with implant grade titanium as standard and jewellery can be upgraded at an additional cost. The legal age for piercings without parental consent is 16 years. If you are younger than this age, you must bring a parent in with you.

Please note - it must be parental consent, I’m afraid that your mate, your Auntie or even your Grandma won’t suffice.
