I'm just calling to see how much would this tattoo be?
- We do not give out tattoo price quotes over the phone or through email. For tattoo price quotes it is recommended that you stop by our studio and have a consultation with one of our artists. While there feel free to look around the studio and peruse everyone's portfolios. It is very difficult to properly assess tattoos and ideas, let alone give an accurate price quote over the phone or through email as there are too many variables. Stop on by and someone will be glad to help you out with all of your questions and concerns.
- Shop minimum for tattoos is $50.
