What it is

A night to play,
make and keep.

01

We’ll show you how

Tattoo machines, beginner-friendly guidance and absolutely no experience required.

02

Make your mark

Tattoo your own practice skin, make it weird, make it brilliant — then take it home.

03

Bring your people

Birthdays, hens, bachelors, date nights, small team nights and year-end parties — or just an excuse to do something different together.

to “look what I made.”

Good to know

Questions before
you book?

Is this a real tattoo?+

No. You work on practice or fake skin only — never human skin.

Will I get a permanent tattoo?+

No. Tipsy Ink is entertainment on fake skin. For permanent work, book Be My Canvas separately.

Do I need experience?+

No experience is needed. Beginner wireless kits and guidance are provided, but this is not a course or tattoo school.

How many people can join?+

Public sessions can be booked for one or more people, up to the places available. Private bookings require a minimum of 8 guests and can accommodate up to 12.

What about drinks?+

Drinks setup is confirmed when you book. Guests must be 18+ and bring ID.

Is it hygienic?+

Guests wear gloves and use single-use needles on practice skins. Staff collect sharps and handle cleanup. This remains entertainment on fake skin, not a clinical or training setting.

Where is it?+

Tipsy Ink is venue based. Confirmed dates and venues are shared in our upcoming events and on Instagram.Upcoming events ↓Instagram ↗
