Lauren Smith

Thank you so much for enquiring with me! 🖤

This is my enquiry form for my main placement at abla studios and also my guest spot at Black Tapestry Tattoo in Deptford, South London (I’ll be guesting on 27th & 28th May 2025 - please specify this studio if this location works better for you and I will do my best to accommodate).

Please note, for abla studios, I am taking enquiries for spaces in August - October 2025. I do my best to fit in as many suitable projects to my style as possible and will always get back to every form, even if I’m not able to accommodate the piece. My main days are currently Tuesday - Thursday, however I also offer occasional evenings. Feel free to enquire for an additional day and I’ll do my best to accommodate but can’t guarantee.

Please include as much information as possible when applying. The forms are not seen first come, first served. Having all the necessary information can really speed up a booking and keep the process of creating smoother, closer to the appointment date.

It can take between 6-8 weeks for me to get back to all the forms once I close my booking form again. Please keep this in mind that your response; whether I’m able to take on your design or not, may be in about 6-8 weeks time.

Please ensure when submitting this enquiry that you thoroughly read the terms & conditions below:

🚨 Please read 🚨

All deposits are non-refundable. They are transferable to a new date once and the new date must be within 6 months. If you’re unable to reschedule within the next 6 months please message directly to discuss options. Deposits are only transferable if 3 full working days notice is given (Monday - Friday).

If you take medication, or start taking a new medication which could have an effect on your appointment please let me know at the earliest possibility as this could result in a necessary reschedule. This includes but is not limited to; antibiotics, acne medication, blood thinning medication etc.

Likewise, if you start to feel unwell in advance of your appointment and feel it may have an impact on your appointment or the ability to heal your tattoo, please get in contact. You cannot be tattooed if pregnant or breast feeding.

If you attend an appointment with sunburn or any other hinderance which impacts my ability to complete the tattoo within the allotted time, your appointment and deposit will be forfeited.

I always aim to draw designs a few days before an appointment. This then allows time to make any tweaks needed. Small tweaks to a piece are included within the cost but if an idea is largely changed after a drawing has begun (due to details not included in the booking form), this could incur an addition to the quote.

Thank you for enquiring and I look forward to reading your idea 😁
