frequently asked questions

Once you have selected an artist that you would like to work with, you will fill out their booking form on our “book now” page. The booking form will ask you to provide your ideal size, placement, and concept of your design, amongst other things that your artist will need to know in order to design your tattoo. If your idea is selected, your artist will send you an email to set up an appointment date and time for your tattoo. You will need to provide a deposit to hold the date and time, and the deposit will be deducted from the total cost of your tattoo on the day of your appointment.

In order to prepare for your tattoo as best as possible, we always recommend to keep these things in mind:

Make sure that you have eaten before your appointment

Get a good night’s sleep

Moisturize your skin a few days in advance

Do not take blood thinners or antibiotics (advil, aspirin, etc.)

Limit your caffeine intake. We recommend no more than one cup of coffee on the day of your tattoo!

You cannot be tattooed if:

You are currently taking antibiotics or are on any acne medication

You are pregnant or breast feeding

You will be swimming or having prolonged sun exposure within two weeks after your tattoo

You have eczema or atopic dermatitis at the location of the tattoo

You are under the age of 18

You are intoxicated or under the influence of drugs

You cannot provide proper Identification

Each tattoo artist has an individual base rate and hourly rate. If you would like a quote on your tattoo, we always recommend emailing your artist beforehand, and they will be able to provide an estimate for you so that you can feel as prepared as possible for your session.

Unless due to a medical necessity, we cannot accommodate guests at this time.

Most artists will provide the design on the day of the session. We prefer to chat face to face about the design, and feel that clients are able to better express any changes that they would like made in person. We always allocate time for design edits before the appointment, and will never start a tattoo until we know for certain that the client is happy with their tattoo concept.
