FAQ
Questions, answered
Everything people ask us about booking, deposits, pain, age, aftercare and touch-ups.
Do I need a consultation?
For custom work, yes. It’s free, takes 30 minutes and lets your artist see the placement and give you an exact quote. Flash, touch-ups and piercings can be booked straight away.
How do deposits work?
Custom sessions are held with a $100 to $200 deposit, paid in the studio at your consultation. It comes off your final price. Reschedule up to 48 hours before and it moves with you; later changes or no-shows forfeit it.
How old do I have to be?
18, with a valid government photo ID, for both tattoos and piercings. We don’t tattoo or pierce minors, even with a parent’s consent.
Why can I only book two weeks ahead online?
Our online calendar shows the next two weeks. Artists book later sittings and larger projects directly with you at your consultation, or call the studio.
Can I get tattooed if I’m pregnant, on blood thinners or have a skin condition?
We don’t tattoo or pierce during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. For medication or skin conditions, check with your doctor first and tell your artist at your consultation; we’ll never tattoo over broken, sunburned or irritated skin.
How should I prepare?
Sleep well, skip alcohol for 24 hours, eat a proper meal beforehand and wear comfortable clothes that give access to the area. Bring your ID and a snack for long sessions.
Are touch-ups free?
Yes, within six months of your session for work done here, once it has fully healed and if you followed the aftercare. Touch-ups after that, or caused by sun damage or picking, are charged at the shop minimum.
Do you tattoo hands, necks and faces?
Hands and necks, yes, for clients who already have visible work and understand that hand tattoos fade faster. We don’t do face tattoos.
How do I cancel or reschedule?
Use the link in your confirmation email or call us at least 48 hours before. Consultations, flash and piercings can be moved anytime before your appointment.
