Tattoo History

Tattoos have been around for at least 5300 years. The Bronze Age Ice Man found frozen in a glacier in the Tyrolean Alps, had several tattoos in various places on his body. But do not worry the aim is not to deep freeze you, and keep you for coming generations to document.

We just want to make sure you know what you want. There is no need to rush, please take moment to think about what you want, and what this symbolises to you (as well as to others). Ask yourself; is this meaningful to me? Is this something I can live with in 20 years' time? Is this the right size? Is this the right placement?

There are several different styles of tattoos to choose from, these are the main groups;

Flat tattoos ie tribal, or new tribal
Traditional tatoos (or Neotraditional)
Fine line; celtic, portrait, black and gray

If you have any questions regarding safety, hygiene and health please do not hesitate to ask us, we appreciate your interest and concern. You are, after all, making a decision about something which is going to be with you for the rest of your life, and it is in our interest to make sure you are satisfied with your new body modification.
