Where is Tim Hart Tattoo based?

What tattoo styles does Tim Hart specialise in?

Tim specialises in bold, custom work rooted in Traditional, Neotraditional, Blackwork, Woodcut-style and Dark Art tattoos. Strong linework, clear shapes and designs that age well are always the priority.

Do you take walk-ins?

How much does a tattoo cost with Tim Hart?

Tattoo prices depend on the size, detail, placement and style of the design. Smaller pieces may be priced per piece, while larger or more complex tattoos are usually charged at an hourly or day rate. You will receive a price estimate once your idea has been discussed and the design and size are agreed.

Can you design a custom tattoo for me?

Yes. Tim focuses on custom tattoos designed specifically for each client. You can bring reference images or rough ideas, and they will be developed into a unique design in Tim's style so that the tattoo fits your body and heals well over time.

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Get a good night's sleep, eat a proper meal before your appointment, stay hydrated and avoid alcohol or blood-thinning substances beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed, and follow any specific instructions sent to you before your session.

How should I take care of my new tattoo?

Keep the tattoo clean, gently wash with warm water and mild fragrance-free soap, and pat it dry with a clean paper towel. Apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment as instructed. Avoid soaking, picking, and touching the tattoo unnecessarily during the healing period.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

The surface of a tattoo usually heals within 7–14 days, but deeper layers may take 4–6 weeks to fully settle. Redness, mild scabbing and light peeling are normal parts of the healing process. Full aftercare should continue until the tattoo looks fully settled.

Is tattoo peeling normal?

Yes. Peeling usually starts around day 3–5 and can continue for several days. This is a normal part of the healing process. Do not pick or scratch the peeling skin—let it fall away naturally to avoid damaging the tattoo.

Can I use moisturiser on my tattoo?

Yes, but only use fragrance-free, alcohol-free moisturisers or a tattoo-specific aftercare cream. Apply a thin amount 2–3 times per day to keep the skin hydrated without suffocating it. Avoid heavy creams or petroleum-based products unless advised otherwise.

Can I shower after getting a tattoo?

Yes, you can shower normally, but avoid soaking the tattoo. Do not take baths, swim, or expose the tattoo to saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, or long hot showers until the tattoo is healed. Keep the water gentle and avoid spraying directly onto fresh ink.

When can I go to the gym or exercise again?

Light exercise may be possible after a couple of days, but avoid heavy sweating, stretching the tattooed area, or contact with gym equipment until the skin has formed a proper layer of protection—usually 7–10 days. Avoid swimming until fully healed.

Should I avoid the sun during healing?

Yes. Keep the tattoo out of direct sunlight and avoid sunbeds during the entire healing period. UV exposure can fade fresh ink and slow healing. After the tattoo is fully healed, always use high SPF sunblock to protect the colours and linework long-term.

What should I do if my tattoo looks irritated?

Mild redness, itching, and sensitivity are normal early in the healing process. If irritation worsens, lasts longer than a few days, or you notice unusual swelling, heat, severe pain, or discharge, contact the studio for advice. Early help prevents complications.
