How Payment Plans Work
Our payment plans are a simple way to spread the cost of your chosen cosmetic tattoo treatment over 5 monthly payments. They are designed for clients who want flexibility while keeping everything clear and professional.
The Payment Plan Journey
1. Choose your plan (e.g., £250 / £275 / £300 / £150 total).
2. Pay monthly for 5 months (automatic payments).
3. Once fully paid, booking unlocks — you’ll be able to book online via our calendar.
4. Patch test + consultation must be completed first (this is required for all clients).
5. Book your treatment once you’ve been confirmed as suitable.
Important Booking Rules
• Bookings only open after full payment (no exceptions).
• After your final payment clears, you must book and attend within 6 months.
• If you do not book within 6 months, the service may be forfeited, as pricing and availability have been reserved.
Patch Test + Consultation (Required)
For your safety and best results, everyone must have a patch test and consultation before treatment.
Your consultation covers:
• Medical history & contraindications
• Skin assessment (oily/dry/sensitive, mature skin, etc.)
• Brow/liner/lip suitability and realistic outcomes
• Colour choice, shape mapping, and style selection
• Pre-care instructions to protect retention and healing
Patch test: checks for potential sensitivity/allergic reaction to pigments/topicals/adhesives used.
If you do not attend your patch test/consultation, treatment cannot go ahead.

Am I a Good Candidate?
Cosmetic tattooing is a form of semi-permanent makeup and is not suitable for everyone. Your safety comes first. Below is guidance on who can and can’t be treated. Final suitability is confirmed at consultation.
You may NOT be treated if you have:
These are common absolute contraindications (treatment is usually not permitted):
• Pregnant or breastfeeding
• Under 18
• Active skin infection in the area (cold sores, impetigo, conjunctivitis, fungal infection)
• Uncontrolled diabetes or poor healing history
• Blood disorders (e.g., haemophilia) or serious clotting issues
• Currently undergoing chemotherapy/radiotherapy (or within a period advised by your consultant)
• Keloid scarring tendency (especially if you have a history of raised/keloid scars)
• Allergy to pigments/anaesthetics identified via patch test or medical history
• Active autoimmune flare affecting healing/skin (assessed case-by-case)
• Recent facial surgery near the area (must be fully healed and medically cleared)
If any of the above applies, please don’t purchase a plan until you’ve messaged us first.
You may be treated only with extra care or medical clearance if:
These are relative contraindications (may be possible, but not always):
• Thyroid conditions (may affect healing/retention)
• Autoimmune conditions (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis) — depends on medication and stability
• Epilepsy (must be controlled; discuss first)
• High blood pressure (must be managed)
• Blood thinners (including aspirin/warfarin or prescribed anticoagulants) — medical approval may be needed
• Accutane/isotretinoin in the last 6–12 months (often not suitable until safe timeframe has passed)
• Steroid use or immunosuppressants (can affect healing)
• Very oily skin / large pores (results can be softer and may require extra sessions)
• Rosacea/eczema/psoriasis/dermatitis near the area (must be calm and stable)
• Recent chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser, or skin needling (must allow proper healing time)
• Recent Botox/fillers (timing rules apply; we’ll advise)
• Cold sores history (lip procedures usually require antiviral prep via GP/pharmacist advice)
If you already have previous tattooing/PMU
• Existing work may need colour correction or may not be suitable for the look you want.
• Old pigment saturation and undertones can affect results.
Please send clear photos in good lighting before purchasing, if possible.
