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.

Do you accept walk-ins for tattoos?
- Yes, but these days we strongly recommend stopping by & setting up an appointment in advance. Walk ins are few and far between due to how busy we are. If we do have time walk-ins are treated on a first come / first served basis. We try to accommodate all that we can in a day. However appointments will be honored first, and then walk-ins when artists are available. We will do our best to take care of you and fulfill your tattoo needs.
- Some more intricate and larger tattoo ideas do require extra forethought and preparation time though so an appointment may be necessary depending on the tattoo.
How do I book a tattoo appointment?
- Appointments are recommended if you have a specific date and time you want to get tattooed.
- At this time tattoo appointments can only be made in person with a deposit. We do not do phone or email appointments. In person only.
- A $100 minimum deposit is required for all appointments depending on the work involved. This will ensure your time slot.
- For larger scale / session work a larger deposit may be required.
- Your deposit goes toward any time, research, and drawing for your tattoo.
- Your deposit will be applied to the final price of the tattoo.
- Deposits are non-refundable under any circumstances.
- If you absolutely need to reschedule your appointment, we require 48 hour notice in order for you to move your deposit to a new appointment date. We can reschedule your appointment one time. After that you forfeit your deposit and will need a new one to make another appointment.
- This may seem little harsh, but getting a tattoo is a time consuming process (especially for a larger tattoo). We simply want to make sure you are fully committed before we spend time on research and drawing for your tattoo.
Do I need an appointment for piercings?
