General FAQs
Unfortunately, we can’t price tattoos based on descriptions over the phone. In most cases we can give you a price range based on a pic that is emailed however, we will be able to give you a more accurate price if we see and discuss your tattoo in person. All tattoos are priced based on size, detail, color or black and grey, and placement on the body. If you don’t have a particular image or you just have a concept our artists can bring your ideas to life and be able to give you a price as well. You are more than welcome to stop by either shop during regular business hours and we’ll be more than happy to assist you with pricing out your tattoo. Or, if there is a particular artist you’d like to work with we can schedule you a free consultation with that artist to discuss your tattoo.

If your tattoo is able to be finished in one sitting then it will be given a set price. If your tattoo is very large and/or detailed and unable to be completed in a single session then the tattoo artist’s hourly rate will apply. Hourly pricing is a discounted rate and only applies to tattoos where we are unable to gauge how long the work will take. Hourly rate pricing does not apply to tattoos that can be completed in a single session. For more information on any of our artist’s hourly rates please call or visit our shops.

For tattoos we accept both walk-ins and appointments. Walk-ins are first come, first served. If we are unable to tattoo you as a walk-in we can set you up with an appointment at a day and time that is more convenient for you. In order to set up an appointment you must leave at least a non-refundable $50 deposit ($50 is our minimum for deposits. Depending on the artist or other factors you may be required to put more money down). Appointments can be made at any time, in person or over the phone. If you are calling to set up an appointment you still must leave a deposit. Depending on the tattoo you want you may be required to come into our shop(s) with your design/idea and make your appointment in-person, so we can determine how long the tattoo will take as well as provide you with an accurate price.
