Questions
Booking and cost
How much will my tattoo cost?
Every piece is custom, so the price depends on size, placement, detail and how long it takes. Send a request with your idea and you'll get a real quote before anything is booked.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes. A deposit holds your date and comes off the final price. You'll get the amount and how to pay once your design is quoted.
How far out are you booking?
Once your design is quoted, you'll get a link to pick any open time on the calendar, up to eight weeks out.
Do you take walk-ins?
The shop works by appointment. Send a request or call to get on the books.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel?
Let the shop know as soon as you can. The reschedule terms for your deposit are explained when your design is quoted.
Before your session
How should I prepare?
Get a good night's sleep, eat a real meal beforehand, drink plenty of water, and wear clothes that give easy access to the area. Bring valid government photo ID.
Do I need to be 18?
Yes. 18 or older with valid government photo ID, every session.
Can I see the design first?
Yes. You'll go over the design together before the session starts.
Does it hurt?
Some. It depends on the placement and the person. Bony and thin-skinned spots tend to be more sensitive. Most people find it very manageable, and you can take breaks.
The work
Can I bring reference photos?
Please do. Add them to your request. They're used as a starting point for a design drawn just for you.
What styles do you do?
Black and grey realism, color, and American traditional. See the recent work for examples.
