 FAQs

  • Small tattoos that can typically be completed within 30 minutes are $120 flat. Pricing for custom tattoos varies depending on the artist, size, placement, and complexity of the design. For an accurate quote, book a free consultation or contact us directly.

  • Our artists have the flexibility to set their own schedules, so appointments are recommended to ensure availability. For custom pieces, we ask that you book at least 3 days in advance to give the artist time to design your tattoo. Walk-ins are welcome, but we encourage you to call ahead to confirm an artist is available.

  • Tips are not mandatory or expected at our shop, but they’re always appreciated as a kind gesture for your artist’s effort and dedication.

  • It takes 2-3 weeks to “heal,” but it takes months for the skin to fully regenerate. 

  • Eat a balanced meal before your appointment and stay well hydrated. Bringing a small snack or sugary drink can also be helpful, especially for longer sessions. Avoid alcohol before your appointment, as it can increase bleeding and interfere with the tattooing and healing process.

  • We accept a variety of payment methods, including cash, debit, credit, and e-transfers
