How it works

Three steps. No fuss.

1

Call us

Ring on the morning you're thinking of dropping in. We'll be straight with you — if there's space for a tattoo without an appointment, we'll tell you. If there isn't, we'll tell you that too.

2

Come in

Head to our drop-in tattoo studio in the Lace Market, Nottingham city centre. Bring any references you have — photos, screenshots, a rough sketch on a napkin. All good.

3

Get tattooed

Your artist will talk through the idea, confirm placement and size, and get to work. Vegan inks, sterile setup, no shortcuts.

Works well as a walk-in

  • Flash designs — pick from existing artwork
  • Smaller pieces with a clear reference
  • Touch-ups to existing tattoos
  • Something you've thought through and can describe clearly

Better as a consultation

  • Custom pieces, sleeves, large formats
  • Cover-ups — planning is everything
  • Work where you want to see the design first
  • Anything that needs a specific artist

Thinking about today?

One call. We'll tell you straight.

Walk-in tattoos in Nottingham

We're appointment-led, but we do occasionally have same-day space when cancellations or gaps come up. Call us on the day on 07988 492119 to check. Walk-in hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 12pm to 5pm.

Yes, if we have space. We don't maintain a walk-in rota — it depends on the day. Call us on the morning you're thinking of coming in and we'll tell you straight away.

Flash designs, smaller pieces with a clear reference, and touch-ups. Custom work, sleeves, cover-ups, and anything that needs design time is better suited to a free consultation.

12 Goose Gate in the Lace Market, NG1 1FF — right in the city centre. We're open Tuesday to Saturday, 12pm to 5pm for drop-in tattoos.
