All piercing, Tooth Jewels and Full laser session appointments require a deposit at booking which comes off the final amount of your appointment. Via Fresha you can reschedule an appointment up to 48 hours prior. If you cancel your appointment, you can’t make it or a no show after this cut off your deposit is non refundable.

Unless a Piercing pals appointment or Piercing Party group experience where everyone is getting a piercing.
No I do not allow friends and family to be in the room for an appointment. In my experience an audience is more of a hindrance than a help. You’re in safe hands. I promise you, you’ve got this!
All under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult.
-
It’s not appropriate to have kids or babies at your appointment .
They are a distraction to both you and more importantly to me.
Despite what you might think kids will absolutely not sit still for your appointment and in my experience they actually find it distressing.
On top of this there are needles, hazardous waste and very expensive equipment around.
Please make other arrangements and keep your kids at home.

I have a private room within the award winning Kings Ship Tattoo in Southsea. Don’t let that put you off if you’re not a tattoo person. We don’t subscribe to the traditional norms of a tattoo studio. My private room is bright, clean and a safe empowering space.

When it comes to Piercings my age limits are as follows.
Ear lobes 10+
Ear Cartilage 16+
Nostril 16+
Nipples 18+ (ID required)
All under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
If you're not legally an adult you’re a child and my insurance does not cover me if a parent does not consent. This is an important element to what I do.
I will not bend my rules for anyone, so please do not book knowing that you’re not the appropriate age.
Tooth Jewels 18+
Laser Tattoo Removal 18+
-
I strictly pierce with sealed sterile Titanium jewellery of the appropriate shape and size. I will never pierce with something else, as I then can not guarantee my work.

You do need to book an appointment which has a fee of £5.
