FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. When will I see the design?
We do not send out any artwork before an appointment. When you come in for your tattoo we will go over the design. Designs are also drawn to fit the area of the body and make sure things flow properly. If there are any subtle changes you want to make we can usually do it on the spot. Please note that complete redesigns will most likely call for a reschedule.
2. Do you do cover ups?
Cover ups are a case by case basis. We will do our best to give other artist recommendations if the project is not something we can do. In some cases you may be recommended to get a few sessions of laser removal.
3. What if I cancel, will I lose my booking fee/deposit?
Unfortunately, yes. If you cancel your appointment completely you forfeit all booking fee/deposits and payments. You do have up to 72 hours before your appointment to reschedule your tattoo. You will lose your booking fee if you reschedule within 72 hours of your appointment and a new booking fee will be required. Also if you no call no show your appointment you will lose your booking fee and also be fired as a client. We have a zero tolerance policy for anyone that no call, no shows an appointment.
4. Do you rework, finish or fix tattoos that another artist started?
Each artist’s policy on this will be different. We recommend reaching out to them to ask if this is something they will do.
5. Do you offer touch ups?
Touch up policies vary from artist to artist. We ask that you ask the artist directly what their policy is.
6. Can I bring a friend?
Absolutely! The only thing we ask is that you limit it to ONE person. Space is limited as we are a private studio so we want to keep things from being overcrowded. Please keep in mind your guests are also your responsibility. If they distract the artists, pressure the artist to hurry up, etc. they will be asked to leave.
7. How do I pay for the balance of my tattoo?
For all tattoo balances we prefer that you pay with cash. If you are unable to do so we can also accept Venmo or Cash App. Also note that each artist’s preferred method of payment may vary.
8. Does my booking retainer/deposit go toward the price of my tattoo?
Yes it does. Your booking retainer/deposit will come off the final price of your tattoo. Booking retainers/deposits are accepted via Venmo, Cash App or Cash. Please note that each artist manages their own booking so their method of taking payment may vary.
9. Do I need to have a consultation?
In person consultations aren’t really necessary as we can gather everything we need through the booking form and a couple of back and forth emails. If we do need you to come in for a consultation we will be sure to let you know. If you live out of town or state if a consultation outside normal photos is required we can set up a consult via Zoom or FaceTime.
10. Can I use numbing cream?
The simple answer is no. There is just too much risk involved in the use of numbing creams that we no longer allow the use of any kind of numbing cream or gel. If you show up to your appointment with any kind of numbing product on we will be forced to cancel your appointment and have to reschedule resulting in the loss of your booking fee/deposit and we will require another to reschedule. We do however use bactine during the tattoo which does contain a small amount of lidocaine in it and offers a little relief.
11. What is your minimum for tattoos?
Pricing and time minimums for tattoos will vary by artist.
12. Do you tattoo minors?
No, sorry. We do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18. No Exceptions.
13. Do you take walk-ins?
Our services operate by appointment only. Sometimes if an artist has availability they may be available for walk-ins that day, but this varies per artist and their preference. You are welcome to check our social medias or call the studio within our store hours to check availability.
