HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Tattoos are one thing you definitely shouldn't shop around for the best deal. Price shopping for tattoos will usually leave you in a subpar artist's chair receiving subpar art and tattoo services. In the end, you will probably end up paying more because you will be unhappy with the tattoo you got a sweet deal on and now you need to pay a qualified artist to cover or rework it.
The internet is great for more than just cat videos and memes. Look at all the tattoo portfolios you can until you find an artist who you feel can capture your idea and give you the tattoo you will be proud to wear for the rest of your life! Do it right the first time! A tattoo is PERMANENT and you will get what you pay for, and have to live with your decision!
*Everyone wants a cheap tattoo, until they get one.
Sometimes we can give a pretty close estimate, or a set price for a single session tattoo, usually up to about a softball size tattoo. For larger, multi session tattoos (sleeves, full backs, etc..) we aren't going to try to quote a price. Depending on your design, it could be anywhere from 10 to 15 hours to ?? The studio minimum charge is $200
Don't call or email and ask "How much for a sleeve?" Chances are usually, if you gotta ask, you may not be ready for this kind of financial commitment yet. Or that you are price shopping, in which case, we are definitely not the artists for you.

CAN I GET A DEAL?
Why? I don't even know you. What have you ever done for me?
This question is surprisingly more common than you would think. Do you call up Walmart and ask for a deal on a bag of groceries? No.
"Deals" are for people who are return clients. Who get lots of tattoos and/or are getting multi session tattoos done. And most importantly, people who don't ask.

DO YOU OFFER TAP OUT SESSIONS?
Seriously? We are professional tattoo artists... not MMA fighters.
Typically tattooers who offer these types of deals are usually desperate for customers, and do extremely sub par work. Remember kids, you get what you pay for.

CAN I USE ANY KIND OF NUMBING CREAM TO MAKE IT HURT LESS?
If you decide to use a numbing cream, please discuss with your artist before your appointment.
I PAID the DEPOSIT, WHY WON'T YOU EMAIL ME ARTWORK TO LOOK AT?
The deposit you paid is to secure appointment time and date(s) and is deducted from the final cost of the tattoo. We will not email any artwork to you. Please don't ask. Your art will be ready for you on your appointment date. If it is important to you to see the art before your appointment, that is no problem at all. You will need to discuss this with the artist and we will arrange a time you can come to the studio and see it in person.
I EMAILED YOU YESTERDAY AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD BACK. DON'T YOU WANT MY BUSINESS?
We try to reply to all emails as quickly as possible. Keep in mind that we are people too, and we get a lot of emails. Sometimes we are busy tattooing, drawing for tattoos, painting, or maybe we aren't working right now or it's our day off. Whatever the case, we will get back to you. Please don't stalk us down on social media and send more messages. One email is fine. If for some odd reason you haven't heard back in a week, then yes, please do follow up. Perhaps your email got buried, or lost somehow.
HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY NEW TATTOO?
1. Leave bandage on for no more than 3 hours.
2. Wash tattoo with a mild antibacterial soap and warm water. Rinse with warm water, and pat dry with a paper towel.
3. Wash tattoo once or twice a day until healed. (approx. 7-10 days)
4. Apply small amount of water based lotion a few times daily when tattoo feels tight or dry. Usually after day 3 or 4 DO NOT OVER MOISTURIZE.
5. DO NOT soak tattoo in the bath or go swimming until completely healed.
6. Plastic wrapping your new tattoo at bedtime for the first 3-4 nights will help keep tattoo and bedding clean. Be sure to wash well in the morning.
7. If it scabs DO NOT pick it as this can cause scarring, or infection. Do not expose tattoo to sunlight or tanning bed until completely healed. When healed, be sure to wear a strong sunscreen on it to help preserve color. For longest lasting color, do not expose tattoo to sun for 6 months.

HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET TATTOOED?
We will only tattoo you if you are at least 18 years old. With gov issued photo ID. We don't care who is "gonna vouch" for you
CAN I BRING SOME FRIENDS WITH ME TO HANG OUT AND WATCH ME GET TATTOOED?
The studio is very small and there simply isn't room for extra people. We work hard to keep the studio very welcoming and relaxing. We want to give you the best tattoo possible and we are unable to do that when there is distraction of other people in the procedure room. If you bring 1 person with you, they will be asked to remain in the waiting room. If you bring more than 1, they will be asked to leave.
Do you do body piercing?
No. We only offer high quality tattooing.
What are your business hours?
We are a private studio and work by appointment only. We don't keep regular business hours. If you want to make an appointment for a tattoo or a consultation for a tattoo, please contact us ahead of time so we can schedule a time to meet with you.
Can you call me to talk about my tattoo ideas or to make an appointment?
No we do not book any appointments over the phone. We do not do phone consultations either. Email or in person only. Sorry, no exceptions.
