How much does a tattoo cost?
Our rates vary for each artist, as do deposits. Please reach out to the artist you would like to work with and they will be able to provide an estimate or price range based on the size and location of your tattoo.
What precautions do you take to ensure a safe and sterile environment?
We maintain rigorous sterilization and sanitation practices, including the use of disposable needles and equipment, as well as thorough cleaning protocols between each client. Our studio is also regularly inspected to meet all health department standards.
How do I prepare for my tattoo appointment?
Preparation typically involves getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, eating a nutritious meal, and avoiding alcohol or substances that thin the blood prior to your appointment. Ensure that you have little to no direct sun exposure on the body region to be tattooed for at least 1 week prior to your appointment as fresh sun damage or burns will require rescheduling your appointment with a loss of deposit. Your artist may provide additional instructions specific to your appointment.
Can I use numbing cream?
Artists have their own unique philosophy regarding pain relief and topical agents- please ask your artist prior to applying numbing cream.
Can I bring a friend or family member with me to my tattoo appointment?
While we understand the desire for support, we ask that you check with your artist if you would like to bring a guest. Each artist has their own preferences when it comes to guests so please check prior to appointment.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, Venmo, PayPal or Zelle. Some of our artist accept credit cards, please check prior to appointment. There is an ATM just outside the studio.
How do I care for my new tattoo after the appointment?
Your artist will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific tattoo. Any aftercare questions that may arise following your appointment should be directed to your tattoo artist.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment?
We understand that life happens, and plans may need to change. We request you notify your artist at least 48 hours prior to your appointment to avoid loosing your deposit. This gives the artist enough time to fill the appointment without loss of income.
