Is it painful to get a tattoo?
This depends on several factors such as your pain tolerance, and the location of your tattoo. Some areas of our body contain more nerve receptors, therefore it may hurt a little more. In a nutshell though, the pain is very bearable. It sounds scarier than it actually is and we have numbing sprays and cream available if needed!

Does it hurt?
Getting a tattoo removed is not the most pleasant feeling but is bearable. People have compared it to getting tattooed or being flicked with a rubber band but will be gone within seconds.

Do you meet all safety and hygiene standards?
Yes, we are health department approved and meet all safety and hygiene standards. We have strict sterilization procedures and only stock and use the best equipment available – come and see for yourself!

Do I need to book an appointment?
In most cases yes, however there are times where our artists may be free during the day. Please call us to check availabilities

Luckily laser tattoo removal is quick taking anywhere from a second to minutes

“AWESOME!!! I had a tattoo of celtic style letters done by Brian. I showed him what I wanted and he was straight up about the detailing of each letter (said that if he did too much detail that it could possibly ‘bleed’). He gave me the option to stay with what I originally wanted or that he could do as much detail as possible without the tattoo ‘bleeding’. I opted for his suggestion and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. The tattoo is awesome and still has quite a bit of detailing. It’s now been over 2 years since I had the tattoo done and it’s still in great condition with no ‘bleeding’. I highly recommend these experienced tattoo artists.”

“I had a cover up job done here of a playboy bunny (bad mistake) they covered it up with a free-style tribal vine. I get compliments all the time on it and am more than happy with the work done! Each to their own I s’pose”
