FAQ

Send the booking form with your idea, placement, and size. We reply within one working day with a quote and times. A free 20-minute consultation comes first for custom work, then a deposit locks your session — $80 for small pieces, $150 for full days.

Marcus charges $180 an hour and Danny $150 an hour, with a shop minimum of $80. We quote every piece before booking day, and the quote is what you pay unless you enlarge the design mid-session. Touch-ups within a year are free.

Keep the film on for 24 hours, wash gently with fragrance-free soap, moisturise in thin layers, and never pick the peel. No swimming or sun for four weeks. The full day-by-day version lives in our healing guide — and every piece includes a free six-week check-up.

Implant-grade titanium or solid gold only — never mystery metal. The starting jewellery is included in the piercing price, and downsizing check-ups are free. Bring our aftercare kit home and healing stays boring in the best way.
