Tattoos
It depends on the size, placement and complexity of your tattoo. The shop minimum is $100.00.
I price most pieces by the piece. If your project will need to be hourly I will let you know when we do the consult.
I would rather give you a deal or project price on your tattoo, rather than rush to meet an hourly time limit.
If you would like a quote on your tattoo idea, please use the quote form.

Please use the contact form to start the consultation process.
If what you’re looking to get is a fist size or smaller, you’re also welcome to use the on-line booking app to set your tattoo appointment.
The minimum information we need to price your project:
Design references or Design notes
Size
Location on the body
The deposits to set the appointment $100.00, or 20-25%, the total cost of the tattoo, whichever is more.
If a design will take more art time than normal we may require a larger deposit.
Sleeves have a minimum deposit of $400.00. They take a lot of time to prepare.
You can ask for changes to the design, or reschedule up to 3 times before we will have to take another deposit towards the project.
If you switch the concept completely, we will have to take another deposit towards the tattoo.
Deposits are non-refundable.
If you no-call or no-show your tattoo appointment for any reason, you lose your deposit, so please give us 48 hours notice whenever possible if you know that you will need to reschedule.
Yes, whenever possible.
The current process for getting a walk-in is pretty simple.
On the day you want to walk in, e-mail or text the shop number with your design notes, image and placement.
We check the phone and e-mail for walk-in requests right before 12 pm, and again at 4pm each day.
If we have any availability or surprise openings for that day, we will let you know.
If we are already scheduled with a client, we won’t be able to get back to you until we finish with what was already scheduled.
Walk-in Tattoos are usually fist size or smaller. If you want anything larger there is a chance we may have to schedule you for another day. Walk-in consults are welcome whenever we have walk-in availability.
To start the consult process, please use the contact form.
We’ll review your project, and if it requires an in person consult we’ll get you scheduled to talk to an artist so you can define all the project details so we can get you some pricing. There is no charge for basic pricing consults.
Cover-ups, and certain body placements, like the female sternum will always require an in person consult, and will require a non-refundable $100.00 deposit for the consult.
I’ve had to put this in place for these types of consults because I actually do need to sit down with you, get tracings and start planning for the project to have an idea of what the tattoo will cost.
No pool, beach, bath or sauna until it’s healed. Use Aquaphor sparingly 2-3 times a day for at least 2 weeks.
For fine line tattoos, you only need to use a thin layer of Aquaphor once a day.
No itching or scratching. Scratch next to it, or tap it.
If you have any questions at any point during the healing process, please don’t hesitate to stop by or give us a call.
Please see the aftercare page for full details.
You have to be 18 to get a piercing or tattoo on your own.
If you are a parent trying to help a child 16 or older get a tattoo or a piercing please e-mail the shop for more information.
I am happy to touch up a tattoo I’ve done for you for any reason, within a year of the original date of the tattoo.
.
I am happy to touch up other people’s tattoos, the shop minimum is $100.00. If you would like a quote on how much it will cost to touch-up or rework a piece, please include photos with your e-mail or contact form inquiry.
Female tattoo artists are less plentiful than their male counterparts. Whatever reason you may have for preferring a female, don’t worry, we got you.
Some people think women tattooers are gentler. Others just like the perspective of a female aesthetic.
And some people are just plain sexist and want a girl to do their girly tattoo. No problem, to each his own.
Yes, please mention being Military it when you reach out for your quote. We can offer you up to 25% discount on the total for tattoos.
Whether you are here for a new tattoo or a consult, we need the paperwork signed before we go into the back room or do a consult.
If it is a continuing project, and you have already paid in full, we have already filed your paperwork, and there is no reason to do paperwork again.
If you would like a touch-up on your tattoo, there is no charge for a touch-up if you come back within 1 year of getting your tattoo.
You can book your touch-up by using the on-line booking app, or by reaching out to us via e-mail.
There is wiggle room on the time limit for clients who visit from out of state, or going to college in another state, just mention it.
If you got a tattoo at another studio, I would recommend that you allow them to touch-up the tattoo, unless they actually made a mistake. Touch-ups are a regular thing, it’s pretty often that first time tattoo clients don’t understand the healing process, or how tattoos age over time. Only 1/10 tattoos I’ve seen from other artists have actually been done incorrectly and should be fixed by another artist.
If you got the tattoo overseas, or out of town, I’m happy to touch it up, though our shop minimum is $100.00, so if you’re getting another tattoo at some point, you should just mention it when you’re getting tattooed, so I can touch-it up while I already have a needle out for you.
We do not give refunds on services provided for any reason.
For piercings, you have a two week grace period to request a re-pierce or a jewelry adjustment for any reason.
If you would like a touch-up on your tattoo, there is no charge for a touch-up if you come back within 1 year of getting your tattoo. There is wiggle room on the time limit for clients who visit from out of state.
