Question 1

What is the minimum age requirement for getting a tattoo at Clarity 11?

Accepted Answer

In the UK, it's illegal to tattoo anyone under the age of 18. We strictly adhere to this law and require valid photo ID (such as a passport or driving licence) to confirm you're at least 18 years old before proceeding with any tattoo session.

Question 2

How much do tattoos cost?

Accepted Answer

Our minimum charge is £60. Pricing varies based on size, complexity, colour, and artist. We provide quotes during consultations. Larger pieces may be priced per session or hourly (typically £90/hour).

Question 3

Do you offer custom tattoo designs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our artists specialise in custom work. Bring your ideas, references, or sketches to a consultation, and we'll collaborate to create something unique. Consultations are free but require booking.

Question 4

Before messaging, is there anything I should do?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, it's worth checking out our website in the "Our Team" section and social media pages (Clarity11tattoo on Facebook or Instagram) to browse our artists' portfolios and find the one whose style vibes perfectly with your vision. Once you've picked your artist, go ahead and message them directly; it makes the process personal and ensures you're connecting with the right creative for your ink or piercing. We're here to make it easy!

Question 5

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can book via our website, email (stalbans@clarity11.co.uk), or social media (Clarity11tattoo on Facebook or Instagram). We recommend booking in advance, especially for custom designs, as our artists' schedules fill up quickly. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your slot.

Question 6

What aftercare instructions do you provide?

Accepted Answer

After your tattoo, we'll give you detailed verbal and written aftercare advice tailored to your piece, which will also be sent to your email address. Generally, keep it clean with fragrance-free soap, apply a thin layer of recommended ointment (like CrocArt), avoid soaking in water for two weeks, and protect from direct sunlight. If you experience any issues, contact us immediately.

Question 7

What is the minimum age requirement for getting a piercing at Clarity 11?

Accepted Answer

Unlike tattoos, there is no legal minimum age for most body piercings in the UK. However, we require clients to be at least 18 years old for all piercings (or 16 with parental consent for some piercings). Valid photo ID is required, and intimate piercings (e.g., nipples) are strictly for those over 18. We do not perform genital piercings.

Question 8

How much do piercings cost?

Accepted Answer

You can find our price list on the website.

Question 9

What aftercare instructions do you provide for piercings?

Accepted Answer

We'll provide detailed verbal and written aftercare advice, also sent to your email. Generally, clean the area twice daily with saline solution or mild soap, avoid touching or twisting the jewellery, and steer clear of swimming pools or tight clothing for the first few weeks. Healing times vary (4-12 weeks typically), and contact us if you notice signs of infection.

Question 10

Why is my deposit non-refundable?

Accepted Answer

We totally get it: life throws curveballs, and sometimes you need to cancel or reschedule. But our artists invest real time and energy into prepping your session, from sketching designs to blocking out their calendar. That's why deposits are non-refundable; they help cover that commitment. If something comes up, just reach out — we're cool with rescheduling where possible.

Question 11

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major cards, cash, and we also offer instalments through Clearpay for added flexibility—if you'd like to spread your payment over 4 instalments, do it through Clearpay. Additionally, we provide gift cards, perfect for treating someone special to a tattoo or piercing experience.
