Information we collect

When you submit an enquiry or contact us by email, we collect the information you provide. This may include:

  • Your name, email address and telephone number.

  • Your tattoo idea, preferred artist, placement and approximate size.

  • Uploaded photographs and reference images.

  • Correspondence about your enquiry or booking.

Please send only information and images relevant to your enquiry. Avoid including unnecessary sensitive information or identifiable photographs of other people without their permission.

Our website provider, Squarespace, also processes technical information, which may include your IP address, browser, device information, pages visited and website interactions.

Why we use your information

We use your information to respond to enquiries, discuss designs, provide estimates, arrange consultations and manage bookings.

Our lawful bases are:

  • Steps towards a contract and performance of a contract: responding to booking requests and providing services you purchase.

  • Legitimate interests: managing general correspondence, protecting our website and handling complaints or disputes.

  • Legal obligations: keeping or disclosing information where required by law.

  • Consent: optional cookies where consent is required.

Without sufficient contact details and information about your request, we may be unable to respond or arrange a booking.

Who we share information with

Relevant studio staff and artists may receive the information needed to handle your enquiry or provide your requested service.

We use:

  • Squarespace to host our website.

  • Google Forms, Google Sheets and Google Drive to collect enquiries, organise responses and store uploaded files.

  • 123 Reg to provide our email services.

  • Square to handle piercing bookings, digital gift cards and associated payments.

Square may process information both on our behalf and for its own purposes, as explained in its privacy notices.

We may also share information with professional advisers or authorities where necessary to meet legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Processing outside the UK

Our providers may process information outside the UK.

Squarespace publishes international-transfer arrangements including the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and contractual safeguards where applicable. Google publishes its own international-transfer framework information. Square and 123 Reg also publish provisions addressing international transfers.

You can contact the relevant studio for further information about the arrangements applying to your information.

How long we keep information

We carry out a clear-out of enquiry records every three years, including correspondence, contact details, form responses and uploaded files.

We retain information connected with an ongoing booking, complaint or legal obligation where it remains necessary. Booking, payment and treatment records may have different retention requirements, based on their purpose and applicable legal or insurance requirements.

Cookies and website activity

Cookies are small files stored on your device.

Our website uses necessary cookies to support essential functions and remember your cookie choices. Optional performance and analytics cookies help us understand website use.

The cookie banner allows you to:

  • Accept all optional cookies.

You can reopen Cookie Preferences to change your choices. Declining optional cookies does not prevent you from browsing the website.

Squarespace may also process technical activity-log information separately from optional analytics cookies.

Google Forms, embedded maps and external booking services may process information when you use them. Their own privacy and cookie notices also apply. The Squarespace cookie controls may not govern every third-party service.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you can ask us to:

  • Provide access to your personal information.

  • Correct inaccurate information.

  • Delete information or restrict its use.

  • Provide certain information in a portable format.

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before that point.
