Frequently Asked Questions:
- Where are you based?
Freshly Ground Ink
10 Regent Grove
Leamington Spa
CV32 4NY
- Is there parking near the studio?
The closest car park is Rosefield Street Car Park (8 Newbold Pl, CV32 4HR) which costs £1.30 per hour and £7 for 24 hours. Bath Place Car Park (2 Bath Pl, CV31 3AQ) is cheaper at £1 per hour and £3 for 24 hours but is slightly further away.
- Can I pay with card?
Please bring cash to settle the remainder of your tattoo payment. Card can only be used to purchase aftercare cream and merch.
- Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?
Yes, you can bring one person who can sit near the reception while you’re getting tattooed.
- Do you send designs out beforehand?
No. I will show you your design on the day of your appointment. There will be time to make changes if necessary (as long as it’s not the entire design).
- What should I wear to my appointment?
Make sure to wear clothing that makes your tattoo placement accessible. If you are having your sternum tattooed, I recommend wearing a buttoned shirt or cardigan, for leg tattoos I recommend wearing shorts and for collarbone tattoos a bandeau top is the best choice. I will never ask you to remove any more clothes than necessary to complete your tattoo. If needed, the studio can provide nipple covers and screen dividers for extra privacy.
- What if I have a sunburn on the day of my appointment?
I can’t tattoo sunburnt skin so make sure to wear factor 50 sun cream if you decide to go into the sun before your appointment. If you’re sunburned on the day of your appointment, we’ll have to rearrange or cancel your appointment and you’ll lose your deposit.
- I’m going on holiday soon, can I still get tattooed?
You won’t be able to go swimming or sunbathe with a fresh tattoo. Your tattoo will have to be fully healed by the time you go away which usually takes 3 weeks.
Please note that deposits are required for all bookings. Deposits are non-refundable if you cancel but if you have to rearrange please give me 48 hours notice and your deposit will be rolled over. Your appointment can only be rearranged once. Less than 48 hours notice and/or rearranging more than once will result in the loss of your deposit.
The age of consent for tattoos is 18. You may be asked for proof of age so please bring a form of photo ID to your appointment. Only a drivers license or passport will be accepted.
Thank you so much for your interest in booking in with me, it's very much appreciated 🖤
