Frequently Asked Questions

Booking & Scheduling

How do I book an appointment?

Please fill out the contact form on our website. We will be in touch to answer any questions or set a date. Be sure to fill out everything and include any important notes regarding your tattoo. It is very helpful if you include photo references to give us an idea of what style you are looking for.

How far out are you booking?

Each of our artists manages their own schedule. Most of our artists are booked out a few months, but depending on what you'd like to have done, they might be able to squeeze you in sooner if they have an opening. Once we receive your tattoo request, we will respond with availability.

Retainers & Rescheduling

Do I need to leave a retainer?

We have a $100 retainer fee that is required to pick and hold a date. The retainer goes toward the price of the tattoo, so you will have a credit of $100. This ensures that our artists will reserve a date and time for your appointment. The retainer is non-refundable and non-transferable. You will lose your retainer if you do not show up to your appointment.

What if I have to reschedule?

You must contact your artist at least 48 hours before your appointment to reschedule. Your retainer will transfer to your new date up to two times. If you cancel at the last minute, the artist may choose whether to transfer your retainer to a new date. Keep in mind, if you cancel too late and the artist doesn’t have enough time to fill the spot, they lose income for the day.

What if I feel sick before my appointment?

If you feel sick for any reason, PLEASE RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT! Even if it’s the morning of your appointment and you wake up not feeling well, we will work with you to reschedule when you're better.

Artwork & Design

When do I get to see my tattoo artwork?

The tattoo artwork will be ready for you on the day of your appointment. We do not email designs in advance.

Can I make changes to my tattoo artwork?

Yes, minor changes can be made during your appointment. However, major design changes may require additional drawing time and could result in needing to reschedule. If your edits do not align with your original request, a redraw fee may apply. If you completely change your idea, you must notify us at least two weeks in advance.

Walk-ins & Availability

Do you take walk-ins?

Our shop does not always have availability for walk-ins. It depends on artist availability. Most of our artists are booked with appointments, so it’s best to call ahead. If an artist gets a cancellation, we typically post it on Facebook and Instagram.

When can I expect the artist to reply to my message?

Please allow a couple of days for a response. If the artist has not gotten back to you, feel free to send a follow-up message or contact the shop directly. Our artists receive a high volume of messages every day.

Pricing & Payment

What are your shop rates?

We charge $200 per hour with a $75 minimum. Pricing varies based on the artist, tattoo complexity, size, detail, color, and placement. If you’d like a ballpark quote, ask your artist for an estimate. Please note that quotes are estimates, not exact pricing.

Policies & Age Restrictions

Do you tattoo minors?

Yes, but anyone under 18 must have parental consent. A parent must be present and sign a consent form. Both the client and parent must provide legal photo ID with matching last names. We accept driver’s licenses, passports, and birth certificates. This is a strict legal issue, and we enforce it.

What if I need a touch-up?

Our artists take pride in their work, but if your tattoo doesn’t heal as expected, you have 3 months to book a free touch-up appointment. After 3 months, touch-ups are charged at our hourly rate. You are responsible for tattoo aftercare, so follow our aftercare instructions or call us with any questions.

Do you do cover-ups?

Yes, but cover-ups are handled on a case-by-case basis. Some tattoos may be difficult to cover, and we may suggest alternative designs. It’s best to visit the shop in person so our artists can assess your tattoo and discuss your options. Challenging cover-ups may be priced at a higher hourly rate due to the extra time and complexity involved. Some cover-ups may also require multiple session
