Lab of Ink

Terms

The parts worth stating plainly before you send anything.

Using this site

Everything here is published for general reading. The guides describe how tattoos are usually made and how skin usually heals. They are not instructions for your particular tattoo and they are not medical advice. Skin that is hot, swelling after the first few days, weeping something that is not clear plasma, or painful in a way that is getting worse rather than better is a question for a doctor, not for a guide.

What an enquiry is

Sending the form is a request for a conversation. It is not a booking, it is not a contract, and the figures that come back in the reply are a quote rather than a fixed price. Either side can walk away at any point before a session is agreed.

A session gets arranged by email after the enquiry, and the terms for that session, including the travel charge, are set out in that exchange rather than here.

What this site does not claim

This matters more than the rest of the page, so it is written out rather than implied. Nowhere on this site is there a claim of:

  • A licence, registration or permit of any kind
  • Insurance
  • A hygiene or bloodborne-pathogen certification
  • Any number of years of experience
  • A professional body, an award or an accreditation
  • A price, a deposit term or a published rate
  • A rating, a review, a testimonial or a customer count

If you need any of those confirmed before someone comes to your home, ask in the enquiry. An answer in an email is worth more than a badge on a web page, and this site would rather have no badge than an unearned one.

Some of the guides in the library were written in March 2026 for the earlier version of this site, which described itself as a studio with several artists. Those articles are published word for word, with a note at the top of each saying so. Where one of them says "we" or "our artists", it is describing that earlier version of the business and not the service offered today.

Images on this site

Every tattoo image on this site is a generated illustration. None of it is work by this artist. None of it is a photograph of a real client, a real result or a real healed tattoo, and no image here should be read as an example of what you would get.

The images that came with the original articles and that carried a price list, a before-and-after result, a photograph of a team or the old studio's logo are not published at all. They are kept in the source repository so nothing was destroyed, and they appear on no page.
