COMMON QUESTIONS FROM OUR CLIENTS
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
HOW ARE TATTOOS PRICED?
The price is based on size, detail and complexity of the tattoo design you have chosen. This may be charged at an hourly rate or a flat rate by the piece. Hourly rate is $150/hr. Send us a message or book an in-studio consultation to get a better idea on pricing. This will give the artist the ability to discuss your tattoo needs, ideas and design options to give you a better estimate of cost for your tattoo. Send in any reference images you may have, let us know the sizing and details of your piece as well as the placement. If you have monetary restrictions for your tattoo, please let us know ahead of time to allow the artist to simplify the concept and design to match your budget.
WHAT IS THE CHARGE FOR VERY SMALL TATTOOS?
Small tattoos will have a base charge of 100$ even if it is completed in less than 1 hour. This is because at minimun you pay for a one hour window, and we use high quality brand new materials and supplies that are disposable and only used once per person. The cost of tattoo supplies, cleaning and sanitizing materials, and time spent prepping the space and client, tattooing, and cleaning after is taken into consideration in this cost.
DO YOU TAKE WALK-INS?
No, any and all tattoos in the private studio is appointment only.
WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION POLICY?
All cancellations require 48 hour notice. If you need to cancel your appointment you can contact the shop/artist at least 48 hours notice before your scheduled appointment time. Cancellations and rescheduling of appointments made inside of the 48 hour notification period will result in the loss of your deposit. If you are looking to reschedule your appointment after having lost your original deposit, an additional fee will be required. All deposits are non-refundable unless otherwise decided by the artist.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY ME TO MY APPOINTMENT?
This is allowed at the artists discretion. Any friends to join the client must be first mentioned and approved by the artist. Limited to only one extra friend in the space. No minors are allowed in the studio at any time.
IS NUMBING CREAM AN OPTION?
Yes, at the clients request for painful areas numbing cream is an available option. One tube of numbing cream is $50 (30g), half a tube is $25 (15g). Numbing cream takes 45min-1hr to set in, cream can be applied at the studio with an extra charge, or the client can use their own cream and apply 45 minutes before their appointment. For more detailed instructions on how to apply numbing cream yourself please ask tattoo artist.
IS THERE ANY TATTOOS THAT THE ARTIST WILL REFUSE?
Yes, this is at the artists discretion. Anything deemed blatantly hateful, racist, obscene, may be refused. Placement near the genitals, or on any other area on the body that may cause the artist discomfort may also be refused. We also reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason including poor attitude, disrespectfulness and/or any inappropriate behavior. This applies both to the client and the company they bring along with them.
DO YOU OFFER COVER-UPS/ REWORKS OF OLD TATTOOS BY ANOTHER ARTIST?
Yes, this is to be decided during a consultation with the artist. There may be exemptions where the artist will refuse but in most cases there is no issues to revitalize old tattoos or design a cover-up.
SHOULD I SHAVE THE AREA TO BE TATTOOED BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?
This depends on the client and area to be tattooed, if the area is full of thick long hair it is recommended to go over the area with clippers only to trim the length. This will make the close shave easier and faster for the artist. Do not use a razor prior to appointment in case irritation or minor scrapes/cuts occur and damage the skin.
WHAT AGE DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET A TATTOO?
Must be 18 years of age or older. We do not tattoo minors even with parent/ guardian consent.
DO I HAVE TO PUT A DEPOSIT DOWN TO BOOK APPOINTMENT?
Yes, a deposit of $60 is required to book a tattoo appointment. It will be deducted from the cost of your tattoo when finished. If you no-show your appointment without notice the deposit is then forfeited (NO REFUNDS) and a new deposit will be required to book a future appointment.
