Question 1

How do I book?

Accepted Answer

Reach out to your preferred artist directly on Instagram (recommended method as this is the fastest). This information is linked on our homepage. Or, you can fill out the booking form in our header at the top of our webpage. If you're mobile, click on the 3 lines icon on the top right.

Question 2

Do you have a shop minimum?

Accepted Answer

$150, regardless of size, placement, and design.

Question 3

Can you quote me on a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

We recommend in-person consultations the most to accurately quote you as we must analyze the size of your anatomy and discuss your tattoo design with you. If you are unable to do so, you may fill out the booking form on our page.

Question 4

What's your prices/rates?

Accepted Answer

Please contact your preferred artist for their rate as each artist will have their own pricing. All of our artists go by sessions rather than hourly.  Each session is 6-8 hours. If your tattoo does not require a full session, then it is up to the discretion of your artist and what you have worked out with them.

Question 5

Do you do walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Feel free to come in during our opening hours of Tuesday-Saturday 12pm-8pm. We recommend appointments more as this will secure you an allotted time. We cannot guarantee that we can accommodate all walk-ins if our artists have full day sessions.

Question 6

What are your hours?

Accepted Answer

We are open from Tuesday to Saturday, 12pm-8pm.

Question 7

What forms of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We normally accept cash but you can consult with your artist for other payment methods.

Question 8

Can I use numbing cream?/Do you provide numbing cream?

Accepted Answer

We do not provide numbing cream. You can use your own  but at your own discretion. Numbing creams contain lidocaine as an  active ingredient and we advise you to not order anything higher than 5%  lidocaine per FDA regulations. Always patch test at least 2 weeks in advance on a small area of the neck or hand to see if you have any adverse reactions. This will give you time to get new numbing cream if need be. Plan accordingly. Please follow the directions of your numbing cream  carefully as each brand will have their own set of instructions. Be sure to prep with the cream BEFORE your appointment. Your artist can assist you in applying your cream but it will take at least 30 minutes for it to be effective, cutting into your tattooing time.

Question 9

Will my tattoo hurt?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the area and your pain tolerance. Areas where the skin is thinner, less flesh, or bone-y areas, such as the collarbone, knees, inside of the elbow, or anywhere close to the armpits, tend to hurt more. Arms and legs are tolerable by most. We recommend practicing meditation and breathing techniques to calm the nerves and relieve the pain. We will also do our very best to accommodate you in whatever way we can to make your experience here the most comfortable it can be!

Question 10

What is the minimum age to be tattooed here?
