Frequently Asked Questions

*WE DO NOT HAVE SET HOURS WE ARE BASED BY APPOINTMENT ONLY*

The way to come in and talk to me about your tattoo is to set up a FREE in person consultation appointment that works for your schedule, and mine.

**See my contact Page for contact information.**

This page is for those that have some questions I get asked a lot, and I figured id try to answer some so that you have a good idea of how I conduct my business. 

Do you accept card?

Yes We DO!

Cash is always preferred, though we do accept card payments in house.

Note we do not have an ATM on site at the shop so make sure you plan ahead of time

Do I get to see my design before my appointment?

This entirely depends on how you want to approach it. 

If you decide to put down a deposit, I will send you your design before you appointment day so we can make changes as needed. This is why it costs a deposit, my job is to spend my own time on your design, and as many, I don't work for free. 

What is your shop minimum? Will you do it cheaper, even if its smaller?

We have an $80 shop minimum. This includes even a dot. We use only the highest quality professional equipment, and the minimum is just enough to cover what it costs us to set up for your tattoo. This price covers the cost of the equipment we use to do this tattoo for you. 

Do you guys offer Piercing services?

We do not accept piercing requests, as we do not have a piercer currently on staff. If that changes, we will update this information and post this publicly on our social media sites.

Can I get a tattoo if I am pregnant or breast-feeding?

We will not offer services in this case. It is unhealthy for your baby for you to get tattooed during these times. 

What time do you guys open? Ive been by the shop and it was closed

We do not have set hours. We are based by appointment only for multiple reasons. If you are coming by to talk to me about your tattoo idea, please refer to our contact page for information and a way to contact me to set up a consultation appointment. If you do not have social media, you can text the shop number or send us an email. I don't accept calls at this time as I am very busy and don't have time to be on the phone. Thank you for understanding.

Can I use numbing creme?

Yes. A lot of artists don't like to use these products. I don't mind it, it makes the tattoo process more comfortable for my client, as well as for me as the tattooer during the procedure. Especially for long sessions.

Make sure to check with me about which product you are using before hand as they have very specific steps to take to apply it before your appointment for it to work properly. I can always apply it for you as well 1 hour before your session, but again, make sure you let me know beforehand so that I have the time to do this for you.

How do I get a price quote?

You can contact any way on our contact page to ask about the cost of your tattoo. I entirely recommend you set up a free in person consultation appointment with me before asking for a price quote, as I can give you a rough estimate over the internet, but it is very hard to give you an exact price without meeting with you in person and seeing exactly where I'm working the tattoo, the design idea, and just the general layout of how the process will go. 

Why can't I just walk in? 

In order to give you a tattoo at the best of our ability, we like to take the proper time to plan out a proper tattoo for you. We are not the type of shop for you to walk in and in under an hour from design to procedure, throw something trashy on you and take your money in a rush. That is not our business model. Rushed tattooing is not proper process if you want to get a high quality tattoo. I understand this can be frustrating, but we only want to put out the best quality possible from our shop. 

If you have any other question for us, please feel free to reach out and speak to us. We want to be fully transparent so that we can provide you with a quality product the correct way.
