Tattoo Shop FAQ’s

Our shop minimum is $100.

Our artists are happy to discuss rates with you upon the consultation. There is a 2 week minimum between sessions to allow for healing before the tattoo can be worked on again.

Cash is 100% preferred. You can also use a credit, debit or Apple Pay.

All tattoos require a $50 deposit for your appointment. A full day requires a $100 deposit. The deposit will be applied to your final session when your tattoo is completed. If you need to reschedule your appointment, your deposit will continue to be applied to your final tattoo session, provided that you give 48 hours advance notice. If you are a no-show or cancel without 48 hours notice, you will need to put down another deposit to reschedule.

Check out our artists under the Meet the Team tab. All artists instagrams and emails are linked below their photo. You can request a tattoo appointment by sending the artist an email or filling out the tattoo request form at the bottom of this page. 

The day before

Please make sure you hydrate, moisturize the area and rest. Do not drink alcohol in excess the night before. No tanning or self tanning. If you are healthy your skin will be healthy and will promote good healing.

The day of

Eat well throughout the day and bring a drink and snack. No weight training or extreme sports due to swelling and possible exposure to bacteria when sweating. If you do choose to bring moral support we ask that you keep it to 1 person. Please bring your government issued photo ID or passport.

Cover-ups are at the full discretion of the artist. We require all clients to come in for a free consultation for any cover-up/rework.  

Currently all of our artists are appointment based. If they have a same day cancellation they may post about having walk-in availability on their Instagram. With that being said, appointments are recommended if you’re interested in getting a tattoo. 

We allow for one guest to sit with you for your tattoo appointment. Any additional guests will be asked to wait outside or in the car to prevent crowding in our waiting room or service areas. 

Most scars can be tattooed over but we recommend contacting the shop to book a tattoo consultation.
