Six ways to work with the ink team — from custom black & grey through to cosmetic tattooing. Every price is a starting guide, confirmed properly at your free consultation.

How a tattoo gets made

Consult. Design. Ink.

  1. 01

    Consult

    A free sit-down with your artist — bring references, talk placement and size, get an honest read on what will and won't age well.

  2. 02

    Design

    Your artist draws a one-off piece built for your idea and your skin — no repeats, no stock flash pulled off a wall.

  3. 03

    Ink

    Session day in a sterile, private studio, with clear aftercare talked through before you leave the chair.

Why sit in this chair

Every piece, considered

Custom only

No pre-drawn flash walls — every tattoo is designed from scratch for your idea, size and placement.

Sterile, private studio

Single-use needles, strict hygiene protocols and a private space, not a shopfront chair in view of the street.

Honest cover-up advice

If your old tattoo can't be covered well, you'll be told before you book — not after you're in the chair.

Transparent pricing

Custom work starts from £550; you'll get a firm quote at consultation before any deposit is taken.

Client reviews

What gets said in the chair

★★★★★

Jamie talked me out of a design that wouldn't have aged well and helped me land on something better. That kind of honesty is rare.

DM

Daniel M.

Custom Black & Grey

★★★★★

Had an old tattoo I regretted for years. The cover-up consultation was honest about what was possible, and the result completely changed how I feel about it.

RH

Ryan H.

Tattoo Cover-Up

★★★★★

Edyta's linework is exactly what I was after. Clean studio, relaxed atmosphere, and she took the time to get the placement right before ever picking up the machine.

LP

Lena P.

Custom Tattoo, Edyta

★★★★★

Went in for semi-permanent makeup, nervous about it looking unnatural. Rachel explained every step and the result is subtle, exactly what I asked for.

Tattoo questions

Jamie works primarily in black and grey, with a particular passion for Chicano-style tattooing. He's spent over ten years working in prestigious London studios before joining Clinic 103.

Custom tattoo work starts from £550, and pricing depends on design size, complexity and placement. Book a free consultation to discuss your idea and get an accurate quote.

Yes — cover-ups are one of Jamie's specialities. During your free 20-minute cover-up consultation, he'll assess your existing tattoo and advise honestly on the best approach, including if a laser fade needs to happen first.

Discomfort varies by placement and your own pain tolerance — bony areas like ribs and shins tend to feel more than fleshier spots. Your artist will talk you through what to expect for your specific design during consultation.

Both use cosmetic tattooing technique, but areola tattooing restores natural colour and shape (often post-surgery), while semi-permanent makeup covers brows and lips for natural-looking definition that holds its colour over time.
