Frequently Asked Questions

How much will my tattoo cost?

The short answer?  It depends.  The long answer?  We charge $120.00/hour, and our shop minimum is $80.00.  The cost of your tattoo will depend on the size, complexity, and location of your tattoo.  We always give you an estimate before we start your tattoo.

Do I need an appointment?

Appointments are recommended, but not required.  Walk-ins are accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.  Sometimes our artists are busier than at other times.  Please be aware that if you are a no-show, your deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable.  You will be required to place another deposit to schedule another appointment.  Our artists’ time is valuable and we request that you respect that.

Why do you require a deposit?

Deposits are required for all appointments.  Your deposit will be applied to the cost of your tattoo if you arrive at your scheduled time.  If you need to reschedule your appointment, please do so with at least 24 hours notice, so that your deposit will transfer to your new appointment time.  If you decide not to get your tattoo after we have completed your custom drawing, your deposit is non-refundable and is considered a drawing fee.

How long does it take for my tattoo to heal?

With proper care, your tattoo should be fully healed in 2-4 weeks.  CLICK HERE for a copy of our after care instructions.  Healing time depends on the location of your tattoo, how well you care for it, and your general health at the time of your tattoo.

Will it hurt?

Everyone has a different pain tolerance, so it’s hard to say.  Maybe.  While it shouldn’t be unbearable, it will not be pain-free.  Just relax, and breathe, it will be over soon.

Can you fix or cover-up a tattoo that I already have?

Our artists would have to see what you currently have to see what they have to work with.  Most likely they can design you a cover-up that you will be happy with.

What about cleanliness and disease?

Your health and safety is our top priority.  All of our tattoo equipment is either single use and disposed of after each use, or it is sterilized in our autoclave.  Please feel free to ask questions and look around.  We want you to feel completely at ease.

Will you do free touch-ups?

After your tattoo is fully healed, we are happy to touch-up our work for free.  Touch-ups on hands and feet are at the artists discretion.  We may charge you for a touch-up on a tattoo that has obviously not been properly cared for.  In addition, if you fail to provide your artist with at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule your touch-up appointment, you will be charged for any future touch-up work at our normal hourly rate.
