That's like asking "How much does a car cost?" It depends on the make, model, year, wear & tear, etc. We ONLY price in person and tattoo prices are quoted on the size, level of detail, location on the body, etc. NOT by the hour. The artists experience and skill is also considered in the price. Thats why you're here, Right? To get that $100 tattoo your friend did in his house covered up.

Consultations are free, set one up by clicking the "Book Now" button and picking an artist that interests you.

• Shower before! Don't come in here stinking or we might choke before we can finish your tattoo. • Eat before you arrive! It helps with the pain and if you pass out, we may laugh at you or be tempted to tattoo naughty things on you.

• Dress for the occasion! We need to access the area being tattooed and ink stains!

• Have a drink or a toke AFTER we are finished, not before. You won't sit still; it won't make it hurt less, and you smell. We cannot see you if you are buzzed or high.

• Bring your ID! We would hate not being able to tattoo you over a technicality!

• BE ON TIME! You have paperwork to get through and sometimes we can even take you early.

• DO NOT use any kind of numbing creams. They do not work and makes you skin harder to work with! No matter what you read on the internet. You are paying your hard-earned money for a beautiful tattoo let's make it the best we can! (See FAQ section for more information about numbing agents.)

Yes. But do not bring an entourage. It can get boring sitting around while you get tattooed. Some of our artists have things to occupy your friends, but they will have to sit as long as you do. 1 or 2 friends max.

We don't allow videos to be taken for several reasons. You can, however, ask your artist to assist in getting good pictures or videos of the finished tattoo!

No. Not only does numbing cream not work how you may think, but it makes the skin difficult to work on. Numbing cream is topical. It only numbs the top layer of skin, which takes a few hours to set in, ahead of time. Tattoos are done in the second layer of skin, which will be right under all the freshly numbed skin, rendering it useless. In addition, the cream will make your skin taught and very difficult to tattoo and will make it easy to overwork and create healing issues. It also can prevent your body from releasing natural endorphins which actually do help with the pain. So often times, it can make things worse for you after some time as passed.

You will be turned away if you apply any sort of cream before getting tattooed because we cannot guarantee the integrity of the tattoo if it is used.

Yes. You are allowed one FREE touchup within the first 6 months of getting your tattoo. However, you must wait at least 30 days for your tattoo to be fully healed. Touch ups are by request only, unless your artist specifies that you may need to return for one and sets it up for you. This is common practice with coverups or heavily shaded or filled in areas.

Typically tattoos take 4-6 weeks to initially heal And sometimes a few weeks more to fully heal and feel like the rest of your skin. At our shop, we use a Tattoo Derm Shield Bandage that will help your tattoo heal a bit faster. It can take a full month or more for your skin to return to normal to be safe enough to tattoo again. Please follow our directions! We did the tattoo and we know the best way to take care of it....Not your friends or the internet!

You should not fully submerge your tattoo for at least 2 weeks after it is complete. It is recommended that you do NOT go swimming, use hot tubs or expose your tattoo to excessive sun for at least a month afterwards just to ensure your tattoo is fully healed. Always use sunblock on your tattoo when exposing to the sun for long periods to maintain its contrast.

Yes. Derm Shields are designed this way. And it can be excessive. They are breathable. They allow air out, but not in. It is imperative that you leave the bandage alone and allow your body to heal itself. Follow the aftercare directions we give you and you will be surprised at how well the bandage works. After a few days, the fluid will subside and the care needed after will be minimal. If it bursts, then you can remove it, but this is rare and usually only happens when the bandage is messed with. It is normal for it to be itchy because your skin is irritated. But it will hurt far less than if you had no bandage and had to deal with scabs. The irritation will go away. Use witch hazel on a paper towel if the irritation lasts for more than a few days after the Derm Shield has been removed.
