FAQ

Do you offer walk ins?

We pride ourselves on being Sydneys premier late night walk-in tattoo studio since 2002. We have artists available daily for walk in services, big or small. Daily updates can be found on our Instagram for which artists are proving walk ins, what time, and what designs they are offering

How do I make a booking?

Bookings can be made in store and online via our social media/email. Large scale pieces require an in person consultation prior to booking. Walk in enquiries are also available daily and our artists also welcome direct messages for bookings/enquiries. 

How do I get a quote?

To get an idea of pricing, you’re welcome to contact us directly through Facebook/Instagram, or email us. Reference photos are preferred, as well as information about the size (in cm), placement on the body, and overall design. We have artists available daily for consults in store, too. Online quotations are just a guide – accurate pricing is available in store based on exact size/placement/overall design. 

For large scale work, in person consultations are required. This also gives you the opportunity to discuss the design with the artist and make an appointment.

Do you tattoo under 18?

We are strictly an 18+ studio and valid government issued ID must be provided prior to getting tattooed. 

How do I care for my new tattoo?

There are several ways to care for a fresh tattoo and your artist will advise the best method of aftercare depending on the tattoo you get done. Once you fill out your tattoo consent form, you will receive an email with the recommended aftercare (as well as your consent form); your artist will also go over aftercare pre/post tattoo and answer any questions you may have. We also carry tattoo aftercare product that can be used to moisturise the tattoo as it heals. 

Skin Deep is open 7 days and have artists/staff available to answer any questions and provide advice on healing.

More aftercare advice can be found on the “aftercare” section of our website. 

How do I ensure sterility?

Most of our artists use disposable equipment for their machines. Those who use steel tubes ensure their equipment is scrubbed with hospital grade cleaner and safely reprocessed in our Siltex autoclave according to NSW Health Department Regulation. Clients are free to check equipment prior to starting their tattoo.

Are your tattoo inks safe?

Our artist only use inks that are TGA approved. Single use ink caps are also used to ensure there will be no risk of cross contamination via the ink bottle. 

What if I need a touch up?

We offer a free touch up as long as it is booked within a month of getting tattooed. Certain placements don’t fall into the touch up policy – you will be advised of this prior to receiving your tattoo. If the touch up is booked outside of the 30 day period, a small fee will incur (you will be advised on the amount when booking in).
