All piercings are done with individually packages and sterilised jewellery and are manufactured of the highest grade materials for your safety.

Please note: Piercings done with substandard equipment and jewellery may run the risk of infection, rejection and/or scarring.

No, drinking and the use of narcotics(not all of them, but prevention is better than cure) before and after getting a tattoo is a no-no. It thins your blood, which means excess bleeding. When you bleed more than normal, it can cause visibility issues for the artist, potentially compromising the quality of the design. Excess bleeding can also thin the ink. When getting pierced you will bleed excessively as well.


If you'd like to see the design/sketch before officially making a booking, we charge a design fee, which is then deducted off your total amount if you go ahead with the booking. We don't make any adjustments on this design after sending it to you.

4worldlovers: At Matchstick Tattoo Studio we want to work with our clients to create quality and original artworks at realistic price. Wherever possible we want to take our clients’ ideas and turn them into one-of-a-kind artworks of passion and heart.

We aren’t afraid to spend money to ensure that clients are tattooed in the cleanest conditions, with only the best needles and inks.

We’ll always try offer compelling conversations, but that is less of a guarantee than the previous two paragraphs.

In order to make an appointment with one of our artist we request a 50% deposit. This is to secure the booking (No one likes a no show!).

You will get your design, at the latest, the night before your appointment. If times allows, it may be sooner oif time allows but unfortunately we can’t always guarantee it. (Please remember the design is only a rough idea of the tattoo and not an artwork i.e. if you’re doing a portrait – we aren’t going to draw it for you first!).
