General Information & Guidelines

The Tattooing of Minors Act 1969 makes it illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to get a tattoo. Parental consent is not accepted. Therefore proof of age is required in the form of any picture ID such as student card or driving licence.

No persons under age of 18 may enter the shop unsupervised, anyone under the age of 18 must not pass the waiting area.

• Please get in touch with us if you feel you need a touch up on your tattoo .

• Give your tattoo at least 3 weeks to heal prior to messaging

• If you have tattoos on your hands, feet, finger, outer and inner elbow or knees touch ups are not free. You will need to look after your tattoos in these areas more carefully as they are very likely to wear and fade quickly, this will have been discussed with you during your consultation or at time of booking.

Searching for the ideal gift for someone? But can't think of anything to get them, why not buy them a present for life, a gift voucher for a tattoo appointment with us here at The Ink Effect!

This entitles the lucky person that receives this ‘tattoo time’ equivalent to the amount purchased that can go toward a session or even a whole tattoo.

Gift vouchers can be purchased in the studio or if requested can be paid for via Bank Transfer and emailed out to you or collected from the studio.
