Frequently Asked Questions
What is your hourly rate?
We have a minimum charge of $100 for all projects. Our hourly rate ranges from $170–$200, depending on the style and scope of the tattoo. A deposit of $50–$100 is required prior to booking.
Final pricing is based on the total time needed to complete the tattoo. Smaller pieces that can be completed in a short session will be quoted beforehand, with the final cost determined by size, detail, and placement. Most sessions last between 2–4 hours, and we work efficiently while maintaining the highest standard of quality.
⸻
Do you accept walk-ins?
Our artists are typically booked with larger, ongoing projects. However, some may accept small walk-in tattoos during slower periods or between appointments. We recommend contacting your preferred artist directly to check availability.
⸻
Do you offer tattoo repairs or cover-ups?
Yes, we offer cover-ups and reworks in most cases. If existing work is not suitable for a cover-up (which is rare), we will discuss alternative options. All cover-ups require an in-person consultation to assess the piece, discuss design possibilities, and schedule the appointment. During this time, we will also provide a better estimate of size, time, and cost.
⸻
What if I don’t like my design?
We strive to create designs that exceed your expectations. Minor adjustments can typically be made on the day of your appointment to ensure you are fully satisfied.
Our booking process—including project forms, emails, and consultations—is designed to minimize miscommunication. However, if you decide to make significant changes to the agreed-upon concept, a new deposit will be required to reschedule.
⸻
Can I see my design beforehand?
Due to the volume of work we handle, we are unable to send designs in advance. We rely on clear communication and trust between artist and client.
We encourage you to provide as much detail as possible during the booking process and to review your artist’s portfolio thoroughly to ensure their style aligns with your vision. Our goal is to deliver a piece you’ll value for a lifetime.
⸻
Can I bring my children?
No, we do not allow anyone under the age of 18 in the studio. This policy is in place for safety reasons, including exposure to biohazard materials, as well as to maintain a focused working environment.
⸻
Can I bring a guest?
You may bring one or two guest if necessary. We limit additional visitors to minimize noise and distractions, ensuring a comfortable and professional experience for both the artist and client.
⸻
What is your cancellation, rescheduling, and lateness policy?
We require at least 48 hours’ notice for rescheduling to retain your deposit. We keep limited flexibility in our schedule to accommodate changes when possible. If no suitable dates are available, your appointment may need to be moved further out.
If you are running late, please call the shop. Arriving 15 minutes late or more without notice will result in forfeiture of your deposit.
⸻
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash is preferred. We also accept debit/credit cards, Venmo, and PayPal for your convenience.
