Renting a tattoo or piercing room in London: what to know

Who uses tattoo rooms

Tattoo artists, piercers and guest artists who need a licensed space for a few days or a regular base.

What a good tattoo room needs

  • Washable, non-porous surfaces
  • A hand wash sink in the room
  • A tattoo bed or adjustable chair
  • Bright task lighting
  • Sharps bins and a clinical waste contract
  • A set-up for single-use or sterilised equipment
  • Storage for inks and supplies

Licences and registration

In London, tattooing and piercing premises need a special treatment licence from the local borough, and many boroughs also require a personal licence for each artist. Check with the council where you'll work, and check that the studio's licence covers what you do.

Hourly, daily or monthly?

Guest spots usually book by the day or week. If you're settling in one area, a monthly room gives you a regular base.

Tips before you book

  • Ask to see the premises licence.
  • Ask how clinical waste is handled.
  • Check whether the studio wants to see your portfolio before you book.
