Getting your first (or next) tattoo can be confusing sometimes, we want to@make it as easy as possible.

Here is a little guide to setting up your next tattoo!
We will do our best to help you book in but contacting your artist directly is always the fastest way.

First we need to know what you want, how you want it, where you want it and how big. Ideally with a clear flat photo of the area to work with.

References are super important to us, the more you show us the easier it will be to make your perfect tattoo! These can be our tattoos, other peoples tattoos or art you find.

Once you’re ready, drop your chosen artist a message and they will find you the perfect tattoo and space!

Colours co-ordinated. We love the way has bounced the cool tones off the deep warm tones to compliment each other in this cut. Whats your favourite colour combo? ( is pink and green if you haven’t noticed)

Every decision is important and it all compliments the final product.

Spaces open with .or.dye next week!

Hey everyone! It’s been a long time coming but unfortunately the time has come to adjust our prices because inflation and the cost of living crisis is killing small businesses up and down the UK.

We wanted to do it a little differently so that it’s not all bad news.

This means we have adjusted everything to make things fairer for everyone. Some prices have gone up, some have come down and we have added services to help save everyone money in the long run while making our days more efficient.

A skin fade and beard trim will now cost a little over £38, instead of its usual £40.

A head shave and beard will be the same amount as before, beard trims have gone up a little and head shaves have come down a little.

A short cut and beard will also be just over £38; this is an increase compared to the previous £36.

To combat this we have introduced a “just the sides” option (£18) to keep your haircut looking great for longer.

Scissor cut timings and prices have also been updated to reflect the service we want to bring you and keep us inline with other providers.

There is also a discount added automatically when booking a haircut and simple service. This helps reward any clients who are used to booking multiple services.

In doing this we’re ensuring the longevity of the shop and a better pay structure for our team.

Thank you for reading this, new prices come into effect from June 1st (any bookings currently in June will be honoured at the old pricing); any new bookings and bookings from July onwards will be edited to reflect the new service list.

Thank you for your understanding through this; if you have any questions please just send us a message or call us on 02921406954

Hey friends, here’s our post to explain the new pricing system coming in with national nail tech price increase day.

We are grouping services together to make your booking experience easier, this means when you book your art level you will be asked to add on a removal (which is now free for a standard removal) and/or extensions and extras. This lets us clean our booking system and provide a better service for you!

We are also increasing some of our timing to give our artists more time with you, this means more time spent making every last detail perfect.

We are increasing the pay of our nail techs in line with this. They deserve it.

Here’s a some quick details of the day in general:
“This Monday 8th April is National Nail Tech Price Increase Day! With the rising costs of nail products, studio rental, training, booking system costs and other factors, most nail techs are taking home less than £7 an hour according to studies by The Nail Tech Org.

While the quality of nail services has improved dramatically over the past few decades meaning longer lasting nails and better nail art, prices have remained largely the same. Many people expect to pay £60+ for lashes, waxes or professionally done make up but do not have the same expectations for nails. With the amount of hard work and artistry that goes into a set of nails, this stigma needs to be changed!

Many of us nail techs are hesitant to raise our prices because we love our clients and understand that everyone is struggling in the current cost of living crisis but sometimes price raises are the only way to make things viable so we can continue to bring you the sets of nails you love!”

Thank you for being with us on this journey, we’re excited to give you even more art going forward
