Covid-19
Customer Instructions
-
Do not arrive at our studio unless you have made an appointment, or called ahead.
​
-
Please leave 2 weeks between getting a tattoo, and getting a Covid Vaccine. If you receive a date for your vaccine after you have booked your tattoo, and there's less than 2 weeks between them, please contact us and we'll be happy to rebook your tattoo and transfer your deposit to a new date. There's no evidence to suggest that tattoos cause you to react to the vaccine or cause an increase in side effects. But as as there's so little data out there on this, it's best to be cautious. At the very least, you probably won't want to experience healing from a tattoo, at the same time as your immune system is dealing with responding to the vaccine. So just as a precaution, do not schedule your tattoo appointment two weeks before or after your vaccinations.​​
We were lucky enough to get RuPaul's Drag Race UK's very own Ginny Lemon to star in this instructional video for our customers.
If you have an appointment booked with us please follow these instructions:
Don’t bring anyone with you to your appointment.
Arrive at the scheduled time of your appointment (not early or late).
Don’t bring any unnecessary bags (e.g. shopping/luggage).
When you arrive at the Jubilee Centre, wait in reception. Don’t tailgate others into the building, or press buzzers to be let in. Call us on 07872 103151 to be collected.
When we collect you from reception, keep 2 metres from our staff.
Once inside the studio, stay in the waiting area, and don’t cross the clearly marked 'no entry' line until you are called by the tattooist.

If you leave the studio for a break, you’ll need to remove your mask, re-sanitise, and take a new mask when you come back in.
Symptoms Of Covid-19
Do not attend your tattoo appointment if you have any of the following symptoms:
​
-
a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
​
-
a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
​
-
a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
Do not attend your appointment if someone in your household, support bubble, or someone you have met during outdoor social distancing, have developed these symptoms.
Do not rearrange your tattoo appointment until 14 days after any of these symptoms have occurred in either yourself or the other mentioned above.
If you develop any of the symptoms within five days after your tattoo appointment, you must contact us and let us know as soon as possible.
Anyone in the UK, who has symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19) can now ask for a free test to check if they have the virus. This is called an antigen test.

You must let us know if you tested positive for Covid-19 following testing. If you did, we will need to contact the Public Health Authority to discuss the case, identify people who have been in contact with you while getting tattooed, and we will take advice on any actions or precautions that should be taken.
Please note - a confirmed customer case of Covid-19 could result in a 14 day closure for our studio – so you must let us know as soon as possible if you have tested positive for Covid-19.
