Booking & Appointments
Booking a tattoo or piercing at The Collective is simple, but we ask all clients to follow our policies to ensure a smooth experience for everyone.
How to Book
- Appointments for all of our services can be booked online through our social media pages, emails or in-studio. View our Visit Us page for all our contact information. Alternatively, you can use our online submission form to to talk to our receptionist directly.
- Tattoo Consultations are recommended for cover ups, reworks, larger or custom designs. This helps your artist understand exactly what you want.
- Piercings do not require a deposit. However, consecutive or accumulative late cancellations or no shows will result in the customer only being able to use our piercing services via a walk in basis.
Deposits
- Tattoos require a deposit to secure your appointment. A minimum of £50 is required at the time of booking. The remainder of the quote is to be paid on the day of your appointment. For day sessions we typically ask for a £100 deposit to secure the booking.
- Deposits are non-refundable, but can be transferred if you reschedule with at least 48 hours notice.
- Piercings do not require a deposit. However, multiple late cancellations or no-shows will result in the customer being seen to on a walk in only basis.
Cancellations & Reschedules
- We ask for at least 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
- This allows us to offer your spot to other clients and keeps our schedule running smoothly.
Walk-Ins
- Walk-ins are sometimes accepted depending on the day and availability, but we strongly recommend booking to guarantee your spot and preferred artist.
Age & ID Requirements
- Clients must be 18 years or older and provide valid government-issued ID. Such as a Passport or Driver's License (Inc. Provisional).
Payment
- We accept cash and card payments.
- Pricing depends on the size, detail, and colour of your tattoo. Estimates are provided during consultations.
Following these policies ensures your tattoo experience is professional, safe, and enjoyable. If you have questions about bookings or need guidance, our team is always happy to help.
