You can contact us via email, FaceBook, Instagram, our website, or just a good old fashioned phone call. We will be happy to assist you in the process from the start. Prior to your appointment, we like to have a free consult with our clients to discuss the project and go over details, pictures, sketches, placement size, etc. It is vital that you and your artist are on the same page so they can begin to design your custom art piece. At that point we request a deposit to hold your appointment slot and to have your artist begin designing. On appointment day, we will make any last minute alterations that are necessary to make the perfect design for your masterpiece.

A deposit ensures that you and your artist are both dedicated to the project and taking it seriously….and that you will show up on your appointment day as well. All artist have their own deposit method which may vary from artist to artist but still ultimately guarantees your agreed upon time slot.

* How much does a car cost? Or a house? Due to the complex nature of our work, we do not quote prices over the phone or by email/messages. Only your artist can give you an estimate once they have a clear understanding of the project on hand. Furthermore, it is not always possible to judge, especially with a large piece, what the exact total cost will be. Sometimes, larger tattoo designs will evolve over time, and will change from the initial plan and therefore the cost estimate. It is important to keep good communications with your artist about these details and how changes and multiple sessions can/will impact your final cost.

* For more simple tattoos, we have a shop minimum. However small or “simple” a tattoo may seem, the cost of setting up and preventing the risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens is included in our prices. Just because a tattoo is “small” does not mean that it will be cheaper. Many times, small intricate tattoos are more complex and time consuming to tattoo.

* Every artist works differently and gauges their pricing accordingly. * Remember, when getting a tattoo, you are purchasing a piece of art that will last forever. Good tattoos aren’t cheap! And most times, a cheap tattoo isn’t very good.

Cash is always king...but a few artists accept Credit Cards and PayPal for a small service fee. Always best to ask your artist ahead of time to be sure.

Even if you are getting a smaller piece, we always recommend a good night’s rest and a solid meal prior to your appointment. We have a variety of beverages to offer our clients, but if there are any particular drinks or snacks that you would like, please bring them. If you are doing a piece that will require you to expose certain areas of your body, please think ahead and dress accordingly or bring something to change into here.

• Ink seepage or splattering is always a possibility! Please don’t wear your favorite outfit.
