Hello, I’m Kei! A tattoo artist based in London, specialising in large body flowing designs, smaller sticker style designs, and most things in between. 

I welcome most enquiries (even cover ups) as long as it is feasible, you are polite, and respectful of my process.

I work Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays. Occasionally I accept Tuesday & Saturday bookings too. 

All my flash designs are repeatable (& adaptable), until bored. You can find my full collection here — but my instagram carousel posts will have more context on minimum sizes and placement ideas. 

I only use vegan cruelty-free inks & nitrile gloves.

I only do machine tattoos, no hand poke.

Assume that your enquiry will be denied when:

• You are generally rude

• You haggle to get the lowest price

• You push an idea after I’ve said it’s not feasible

• You demand a reply straight away

• You’ve tried enquiring many times in the past, lead me on, but never followed up on my replies and/or shown interest in committing 

Tattoos are a luxury and will be on your body forever! If you cannot afford one, there are many polite and professional ways to say “I am on a budget of xyz” and I will be very understanding.

You can send me images of other tattoo artists’ work for reference only if you can tell me what exact features you like about it — is it the composition? Linework? Texture? Not providing this context assumes that you want me to copy their work, which I will not do. 

Please refrain from bringing a guest as there is limited studio space and it slows down my work flow. If you require assistance from a friend (i.e. accessibility reasons, strongly indecisive on a design/placement, etc.) please let me know. 

The London standard minimum for tattoo is £150.

My flash minimum is £150, and custom minimum is £300, no matter how small the tattoo. 

I do not have an hourly rate, because I don’t think art is predictable nor should it be rushed. My pricing is based on a mixture of tattoo time, placement, complexity of the design, colours used, and how much the project is generally valued at.

Last minute (or cancellation) slots are a great way to get a tattoo that is a little more affordable! These will be advertised on my stories 1-2 days ahead of time, and usually reserved for flash designs only. 

Please ensure your remaining balance (cash, bank transfer, or PayPal) is ready in advance. Check for any withdrawal or transfer limits on your bank account. Financial issues on the appointment day can cause unnecessary stress for both of us, and delay my subsequent appointments. 

I don’t use a card machine. 

Both financial and gift tips are very appreciated, though never mandatory! I love to know when you have had a great experience :) 

The deposit is non-refundable under any circumstances

If you reschedule an appointment with less than 5 days ‘notice, the deposit will not be refunded.

If you reschedule an appointment with more than 5 days’ notice, the deposit paid can be transferred to a future appointment. The first rescheduling is free, however any more will require a new deposit.

If booked for an international guest spot, note that flexibility for a reschedule may be limited.

If you cancel your appointment altogether, your deposit will not be refunded.

If I wait longer than 15 minutes, I will charge a late fee of £1/minute (or currency equivalent if guesting abroad) thereafter.

If you expect to arrive late, please reach out to me with an estimated time of arrival (ETA). Delaying one appointment is likely to affect the schedule for subsequent clients, potentially causing delays for the entire day. 

Not showing up to an appointment without notice will lead to being banned from future bookings, and potentially shared among the tattoo artist community. Don’t do it.
