Pricing varies based on the size and detail of your tattoo. Final booking will require a non-refundable deposit that goes towards the total cost of your tattoo.

Every client is required to fill out a consent form. Have a valid form of identification ready. You MUST BE OVER 18 to get tattooed. We DO NOT service minors.

We are located Downtown so we recommend that you account for the traffic and time it takes to park. Please arrive to your appointment ON TIME. If you are more than 30 minutes late without notice, you will be counted as a NO CALL NO SHOW and your appointment will be canceled. Deposits are non-refundable.

When you arrive please wait at the front to be helped. DO NOT walk to the back.

After getting tattooed and before you go to sleep, wash your tattoo with frangrance-free soap (don’t scrub hard & avoid hot water, this will hurt and possibly damage your skin). PAT DRY the tattooed area with paper towels. Apply a small amount of fragrance-free lotion for overnight moisturizing.

When you wake up the next day, give it another wash and apply a LIGHT layer of frangrance-free lotion for the day. You want to continue to wash it when you shower and use lotion as needed (2-3 times a day). The healing process takes about 2 weeks. Scabbing is a normal part of this process so DO NOT PICK AT YOUR TATTOO. Think of your tattoo as an open wound, it can/will repair itself so let it do its thing!

Here are things to AVOID FOR 2 WEEKS until your tattoo has fully healed:

• Sun Exposure

• Picking, scratching, and scrubbing when washing

• Lakes and Pools

• Excessive physical activities for the first couple days (to prevent sweating)
