More than just a tattoo appointment
01 · We listen
Bring reference images, a rough idea or a story you want to capture. Leon takes time to understand what matters to you.
02 · We plan together
Discuss size, placement, shading, contrast and how the tattoo can work with the shape of your body. Leon will offer practical, honest advice.
03 · We create your tattoo
From stencil placement to the finished piece and aftercare, the aim is a professional experience where you feel comfortable and involved.
Interested in a sleeve, a larger design, a portrait or a cover-up? Send Leon your idea and discuss what is possible.
Black & grey tattoo prices
Tattoo prices depend on the size, placement, amount of detail and session time. These are Arcane’s standard published tattoo prices; Leon will confirm the appropriate quote for your project.
Free consultations are available. Larger or detailed tattoos may require more than one appointment. A tattoo deposit is normally required, and the amount is confirmed before booking.
How to start your project
Message Leon with your idea and, if possible, include:
• A reference photo or a description of the design
• Where on your body you’d like it
• The approximate size
• Whether it’s a new piece, part of a sleeve or a cover-up
You do not need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. Leon can help you explore the options during a free consultation.
Black & grey tattoo questions
Can I book a large black-and-grey tattoo?
Yes. Leon particularly enjoys larger black-and-grey pieces. Start by sending your concept, approximate size and placement so you can discuss a suitable consultation and appointment plan.
Do I need a completed design before contacting you?
No. References, photographs and even rough ideas are welcome. Leon can advise on design, scale and placement.
How much will a sleeve or larger project cost?
It depends on the design, detail, placement and number of sessions. Arcane’s standard session prices are shown above. Leon will discuss the likely requirements and confirm a quote for your project.
Can I come in without an appointment?
Walk-in enquiries and tattoos are welcome when availability allows, but a slot is never guaranteed. Contact Arcane before travelling if you need a particular time.
How old do I need to be for a tattoo?
Tattoos are strictly for customers aged 18 or over. Bring appropriate photo identification as required by the studio.
