Cosmetic tattooing designed to enhance your natural features with long-lasting results, including brows, lips & other permanent makeup treatments.

Removals

Professional removal services for unwanted tattoos, moles & skin tags, with guidance on the best approach for your skin & treatment goals.

What it costs

Quoted Properly,
Not Guessed.

Tattoos are quoted on size, detail and placement; piercings on the piercing plus the jewellery you choose. That’s why the real number comes at your free consult. A quote from a photo alone is a guess.

Planning something big? Ask us about tattoo finance. Keep an eye on our Instagram for specials, too.

Price List · From

Starting prices only. Your exact quote is given at the consult, before anything starts.
