Geometry, ornament and solid black. Trained in Lisbon, at Hollow Moon since 2021.

[ 06 ] Healed, happy
Invented reviews, for the demo
Mara turned my gran's handwriting into the most delicate piece. Healed perfectly.
First tattoo and I was terrified. They talked me through everything, and the aftercare guide was spot on.
Eddie's colour work is unreal. Two sessions, clean lines, and the whole thing booked online.
[ 07 ] Before & after
The small print
How old do I need to be?
18 or over, with photo ID on the day. It's the law in the UK, so there are no exceptions, even with a parent's permission.
How does the deposit work?
A £50 deposit holds your date and covers your artist's drawing time. It comes off the final price. It isn't refundable, but it moves with you once if you give us 72 hours' notice.
What if I need to cancel?
Tell us at least 72 hours before and we'll move your deposit to a new date. With less notice, or if you don't show, the deposit is kept.
How do I look after a new tattoo?
Leave the wrap on for two to four hours, then wash gently with unscented soap and pat dry. A thin layer of balm two or three times a day. No swimming, sunbeds or scratching for two weeks. You'll take a printed guide home, and touch-ups are free within three months.
Can I be allergic to tattoo ink?
It's rare, and most often with red pigments. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, tell us at the consultation: we can do a small patch test at least 48 hours before your session.
Do you do cover-ups?
Often, yes. Bring the old tattoo to a free consultation and Eddie or Ana will tell you honestly what's possible.
