HOUSE of BEST TATTOO by Mr J.Best

The Collective Old Oak, London NW10 6FF

Yes, a deposit is required and will secure your appointment.

The amount of deposit will depend on the size of the tattoo. The cost will cover the design process and will be deducted from the final price of your tattoo.

It is also NOT the minimum price of a tattoo.

Deposits are valid for 6months, unless stated otherwise.

There is no single straight answer. As the design, detail, size and placement are the main factors that will determine the price of your tattoo.

Some smaller designs may have a set price, whilst larger pieces many more details would require longer/multiple sessions. Taking up to at least a half or full day per session.

These factors plus how you and your skin react to the ink will determine what the final price of your tattoo will be.

An estimated price will be given and advised before your session.

The minimum charge is £300 per tattoo/person. This covers the supplies, design and other costs incurred.

I may offer a discount if you have multiple smaller tattoos in one session.

When you sign up to my newsletter you will receive priority bookings, discounts and offer offers throughout the year.

Yes, HOUSE of BEST is now offering payment in instalments via Klarna.

Please discuss this with Mr J.Best before purchasing your e-voucher as he may be able to offer alternative options.

Sure you can. There is no rush when deciding to commit to a tattoo. I would also advise doing some research before booking.

Absolutely! I regularly draw & post new ideas (usually at a discounted rate). Feel free to check via my portfolio (here) or ask for available designs

Yes, I would usually offer and advise a free consultation for larger or complex designs.

Unfortunately not. UK Law states that you can not receive a tattoo until the age of 18.

Sometimes a rough sketch may be emailed over a day or so beforehand.

I will only show the final design on the day, this is unfortunately due to past experiences.

There will always be an opportunity to make minor adjustments in person if necessary.

I always recommend eating a large meal for your breakfast combined with a good amount of sleep the night before attending your tattoo appointment. It makes a huge difference.

Please wear comfortable clothing, do not drink alcohol or take any drugs prior to your appointment (as it thins the blood).

How you care for your new tattoo is an important part of the Tattooing process. It will determine the overall longevity and vibrancy. Correct aftercare will help avoid any chance of infection.

If you would like to bring someone that is fine, the studio itself is quite small, however there is much more space within the building!

For larger sessions I would recommend they occupy themselves during the tattoo and then re-connect afterwards.

If you had a great tattoo experience, Then it is always hugely appreciated If you could share your thoughts by leaving a google review.

Word of mouth / reviews really help myself and any future clients.

I will always look forward to seeing you and your healed tattoo in the future.

Most of the products I use are Vegan such as the ink, stencil solution and ointment.

In addition to this, i have rapidly cut down the use of plastic, opting for eco - friendly biodegradable materials wherever possible.

I use a natural balm that helps reduce some of the pain and redness. Ultimately you will feel something, however nothing too unbearable.

Everybody has a very different pain threshold. So it really depends on many factors such as; fatigue, stress or position.

Best to avoid drugs and alcohol before and during your appointment as drugs can heighten the experience making you more sensitive.

Alcohol thins the blood, so you will be prone to bleed excessively.

I use a natural vegan balm containing clove extract (BIOTAT). This balm reduces redness, swelling and may even provide a slight natural ‘numbing’ sensation during your session.

Other numbing creams are available but, generally not advised as it may affect your tattoo during the session and healing process. In addition to; the numbing sensation not lasting the duration of your tattoo session.

I cannot physically provide it for you, however if you do plan to use it, please inform me beforehand as some preparations would need to be done before the session.

If you need to reschedule please give at least 1 week notice from your original tattoo appointment to avoid loosing your deposit.

Unfortunately Deposits and Cancellations are non refundable.

The building has extremely limited parking, operating on a first come, first serve basis. with 24/7 usage.

I would recommend either using public transport or a parking driveway app alongside Old Oak Lane ahead of your appointment.
