FAQ
What is your hourly rate?
I have a minimum of $100 dollars on all projects and I charge $170-$200 an hour depending on the style of project we will be working on. There will also be a deposit of $50- $100 dollars due before booking. The final price of the tattoo will depend on the amount of time it will take to complete. Smaller tattoos that can be done in one session will be quoted before we start the piece and it will depend on the exact size, detail and placement of the tattoo. Most sessions will last between 2-4 hours and I do everything in my power to make sure we get the tattoo accomplished in a timely and expert manner.
Do you do walk-ins?
Generally our tattooers are booked completing larger pieces, however some artists will take on small walk ins on slower days or between larger appointments. Contacting your artist of choice is advised to see if they have upcoming availability.
Do you fix tattoos or do cover-ups?
We do cover ups unless the old work is beyond fixing; which is rare. Cover-ups will require a consultation in person to go over options and to schedule a later appointment to begin the process. It will be at that time that I will go over options with you and get you a better idea of the size and time it may take.
What if I don’t like my drawing?
We will do everything in our ability to make sure the design exceeds your expectations. Minor changes can usually be made to the art the day of in order to make sure you love the final piece. The project form, emails and possible consult should help narrow down most of the miscommunication but we also understand that sometimes designs may need to be adjusted slightly. On the off chance that you come in and have completely changed your mind on the agreed upon design a new deposit will be needed to continue and reschedule.
Can I see my drawing beforehand?
With the amount of drawings currently being worked on we will not be able to show the design before hand. Most of our current clients trust that we will create something they will love for a lifetime. In this business, there has to be a certain amount of trust between the artist and the individual receiving the tattoo. The best advice is to get your artist as much information as you can about the design beforehand and make sure you look over our other work thoroughly to make sure you like the style of your artist. At the end of the day, we want our clients to have the most enjoyable experience we can provide.
Can I bring my kids?
Unfortunately, we do not allow anyone under 18 into the shop. The main reasons are possible safety issues with biohazard materials and possible noise disturbances while trying to focus during the session.
Can I bring a friend?
I allow one person to be in the space with you while tattooing if needed. Again, this reasoning is to cut down on noise and distractions that come with multiple people talking over each other during the tattoo.
What if I cancel/ reschedule/ late?
If given a 48 hour notice I can reschedule without a loss of deposit. I will generally leave a few slots open a month to accommodate moving appointments around. If any of the days I have that month don’t work, we will have to move it out further until we both find an agreeable day. If you are going to be late the day of I ask that you call the shop and let me know. Being 15 minutes late or more with no notice will result in the loss of the deposit for the session.
What form of payment do you prefer?
Cash is always preferred, but I can also take debit/credit payments as well as Venmo and Paypal.
