Got a questsion on how we like to do things at Studio 42? Check out the below for the most common ones from our clients. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, feel free to reach out to us here.

What’s the booking process and how does it all work?

Typically, we ask potential clients to contact us via the website, email or phone but we are also happy for you to visit us. We have reception staff available who can help you refine your ideas and aid your decision as to which tattoo artist will be best for you and your project. You do not need to book a slot to come and speak with our reception staff. After this initial consultation, we can book you in for your tattoo. At the time of booking, we will require a deposit to hold your chosen date and time.

I have an idea in mind, would one of your artists be able to draw something up for me?

Yes! Studio 42 is a custom tattoo shop. Most customers bring in their rough ideas which we then work on and refine with them.

I would like to get a cover up over an existing tattoo, can you do this?

Please visit the studio to discuss this with our team. Cover-up work needs a lot of special attention and consideration, and we’d need to see the existing tattoo in person. We can then advise you from there.

How do I look after my new tattoo?

Your artist will provide you with all the aftercare information you need but you can also read about our recommended course of action here.

Do you also tatttoo in colour?

Whilst most of our artists specialise in Black & Grey Tattoos, we also create colour tattoos from time to time. Our receptionist can help you choose a suitable artist for colour tattoos.

How much is the deposit and what is it necessary for?

Your deposit will vary depending on the estimated final cost of your tattoo. Deposits are necessary as cancellations can result in a lot of wasted time. It also helps spread the cost of your final tattoo. Bookings with deposits can be moved, but we require 48 hours notice, otherwise your deposit will be lost. This includes being late for your appointment.

Can I bring a friend with me while getting tattooed?

Yes, but they cannot come into the tattooing area. They can wait for you at reception.

Do you sell the aftercare products I’ll need?

Yes. We stock Bepanthen.

Bepanthen is an easily absorbed cream which is commonly used in tattoo aftercare. It is easily absorbed and suitable for sensitive skin. It contains pro-vitamin B5 which helps with skin recovery and also has a soothing formula which can help calm irritated or itchy skin. When applied to a new tattoo it forms a protective layer to help stop germs and bacteria reaching the area but still allows the skin to breathe. Bepanthen is free from any antiseptics, fragrances, colours or preservatives.

How long is your waiting list?

The booking processes vary from artist to artist. Please contact us in regard to specific artists.
