Love & Commitment

Every one of our professionals are licensed and certified. You can relax when you come in to see us.


We love what we do and treat every customer as a new and meaningful challenge.


When you come to Inka, you'll feel the love!

  • Clean and Sterile

    We use single-use disposable needles and mostly single-use equipment for every procedure. A majority of our equipment is pre-packed and sterilised ensuring that the highest level of sterility is maintained throughout the procedure. 


    Any equipment that is not single-use and disposable is fully sterilised after each use. Our sterilisation procedure always includes any non-disposable equipment going through an ultra-sonic bath cycle along with then going through a sterilsation cycle in a vacuum autoclave. 


    All sterilisation equipment is serviced annually by professionals as required.


    We also use hospital grade disinfectants before and after every procedure. 

  • Professional Team

    All of our professionals are certified and have many years of experience.  Relax and enjoy. You're in capable hands that care. 


    The studio and our professionals are also all registered with the local council! 

  • Aftercare Guidance

    Keeping up with your aftercare is very important. We'll give you all the guidance you need and all of your aftercare will be discussed with you after your  procedure. You'll also recieve an aftercare sheet to take home with you too!


    You can find our aftercare advice for tattoos and piercings below!


     If you have any questions about your aftercare, we'll always be here to help as best as we can! 

    You're more than welcome to contact us whichever way suits you 😊

  • Modern Tools

    We use the most modern tools to provide you with a clean, sterile, and healthy experience. No cutting corners, no shortcuts. 


    All of our equipment is bought from certified suppliers. We use only the best for you and your skin!
