Facts
You must be 18+ years.

What is a tattoo?
A tattoo is a permanent marking on the skin which cannot be removed unless you have laser treatment. A tattoo may fade over the years due to sun exposure or lifestyle activities. A complimentary touch up is recommended from approximately 4 weeks after your initial tattoo procedure.

How do I take care of my new tattoo?
There are various treatments that can be recommended by your Tattoo Artist. After two hours of tattoo completion, the tattoo dressing is removed, shower with warm soapy water and gently pat dry, then for two weeks apply the tattoo aftercare cream recommended by your tattoo Artist. The cream is used sparingly 2-3 times a day. Keep in mind not to scratch, soak in water or expose excessively to sunlight.

Are your tattoo inks safe?
Yes. Each bottle of ink is formulated for tattoos by accredited companies to ensure hygiene, safety and therefore minimizing other risk factors of ink reacting with your skin. Inks are also only used in single use caps which mean a new cap of ink is used for each tattoo.

How do I know if I have a tattoo infection?
If you think you may have an infection, go and see a doctor immediately. Reactions to ink dye are rare. If you experience any fever and swelling or believe you are having an allergic reaction to the inks, consult a medical emergency clinic immediately. Also inform your tattoo Artist of this occurrence.

No Pain. No Gain.
Tattoo pain is bearable but not as painful as childbirth. You can have breaks before going back into the boxing ring.

How do I know everything is sterile?
The needles used for your tattoo are single use only and are disposable. The Stainless Steel Tubes used in your tattoo procedure are sterilized in our Autoclave and accordingly to Health Department Regulation.

I have a bad tattoo, should I laser it?
Laser should be used only as a last resort, so the answer is no. We suggest coming into our shop and have a free consultation with our cover-up tattoo Artists. We do not do tattoo removal but if necessary can refer you to a professional laser centre.

How much is a tattoo going to cost me?
Our basic charge for a tattoo is $110 for a small symbol or script (GST included). It all depends really on what you want to get. Our hourly rate is $200p/hour but we generally like to charge by piece to make it easier and cheaper for our customers. Also if you think you are spending too much, put it this way, you spend $1000+ on your phone plan and that will only last you 6months-2years, what we give you is a life plan of body art!

Reviews

“I went to Skin deep last weekend while on holidays visiting a friend. I walking in quite late with only a rough idea of what i wanted and the receptionist was great! Giving me so many ideas and a professional opinion on how to make the design look balanced. Aon drew me up the design and did my piece, super cool guy. Didn’t think i would be able to get it done that night as it was close to closing time but he started tattooing at 11;45 which made him have to stay 2 hrs after he was suppose too. He didn’t complain at all and seemed quite happy to s0. Had a lot of fun there great atmosphere and even better staff! Was slightly more than what i was expecting to pay but was happy to do so as he did such great job. Good tattoos aren’t cheap and cheap tattoos aren’t good. Would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks all ”

“I was tattooed by Sam the Tattoo man a while back and really loved the ink I got so I referred my mate to him and not only did he design an amazing tattoo for her he brought it to life on her in the most spectacular way. Also he put up with our crazy so that’s always a bonus. Thanks again looking forward to more ink in the near future.”

“Got my first tattoo done, on a whim I walked in with a friend and within minutes our ideas were drawn up and we’ve both walked away with tattoos we absolutely love! Tyson did both mine and my friends, but all the artists were really nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend, and can’t wait to come back for my next one!”

“Just want to thank Ray for doing our tatts to celebrate many years of friend ship for me and my girlfriends. We were out of towners just got off a cruise ship and could not have walked into a nicer studio which was clean and had a great vibe. Well done skin deep we will be returning customers when were back in town. Most importantly the tattoos were great we love them thanks Ray �”

“Just went in to get some piercings as a walk in – Ray did a fantastic job, was very sensitive and made sure I was comfortable with what he was doing and asked before letting someone else observe him to learn. Made me feel at home and like I could take my time!!! I’ve also had a tattoo done by Adrian which was fantastic – looks great and he clearly concentrated very hard on what he was doing. I would happily go back to Skin Deep for piercings or tattoos.
