FAQ

Q: What should I do to prepare for my appointment

A: Get a good night sleep and eat before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing that allow access to the tattoo area and can possibly get stained. For longer sessions bring something to eat/drink and feel free to bring headphones, a book, etc.


Q: Do you do piercings?

A: No, we do not offer piercing


Q: How do I book an appointment?

A: The best way to reach out is to fill out a booking form. Availability varies between each artist. Contact info is also available on the artist profile pages.

Q: Do you take walk-ins?

A: You can always try, but generally our artists are already booked each day. Keep an eye on the shop’s social media (turn on those post notifications) and join our mailing list for last minute availability.

Q: Do you have gift cards?

A: We do not offer gift cards through the shop. Individual artists may though.

Q: What is your pricing?

A: The shop minimum is $150. Beyond that pricing varies between each artist. 

Q: Payment options?

A: Cash is king! (but we will accept credit cards)

Q: How do deposits work?

A: A minimum $150 deposit is required to book your appointment. Deposits are not refundable. The $150 will come off the price of your tattoo. If your tattoo requires multiple sessions, or you book a new tattoo after your appointment that deposit will be rolled over to your next appointment. A MINIMUM of 48 hours notice is required to reschedule your appointment and keep your deposit. Deposits are only good for 2 years (unless rolling over during that time), and 3 reschedules.

Q: Do you tattoo minors?

A: We do. Clients 16-17 years old must have a parent or guardian with them for the entirety of the appointment. Additionally both the parent/guardian and minor need photo ID with name and age along with birth certificate or proof of guardianship.
