FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

01. How much does a tattoo cost?

The cost of your tattoo depends on its size, placement, and level of detail. Small, simple designs start at our shop minimum. Larger or more complex pieces are priced by the session or hourly rate, depending on whether the tattoo is black and grey or full color. Contact us or stop by for a free consultation and personalized quote. We’re happy to work with you on bringing your vision to life.

02. Do I need an appointment, or do you take walk-ins?

We welcome both! Walk-ins are accepted based on artist availability, but appointments are recommended, especially for larger or more detailed work. Some of our artists book out several weeks in advance, so scheduling ahead is the best way to secure your spot with your preferred artist. A deposit is required to hold your appointment and will be applied toward the total cost of your tattoo.

03. Does getting a tattoo hurt?

Yes, but it’s manageable. Pain varies by person and placement since some areas are more sensitive than others. Most people describe it as a scratching or vibrating sensation. To help you through your session, eat a full meal beforehand, stay hydrated, get a good night’s sleep, and feel free to bring headphones or something to keep you entertained. We also have numbing options available if needed.

04. How do I take care of my new tattoo?

Your artist will provide specific aftercare instructions, but the basics are: keep your tattoo clean by washing gently with unscented soap, pat dry (never rub), and apply a thin layer of unscented lotion 2-3 times daily. Avoid swimming, soaking, and direct sunlight for at least two weeks. Don’t scratch or pick at it while healing. Most tattoos heal within 2-4 weeks. Once healed, always use sunscreen to keep your ink looking fresh.

05. Can I bring my own design or get a cover-up?

Absolutely! Bring any reference images, sketches, or inspiration you have and your artist will work with you to create a custom piece you’ll love. We also specialize in cover-ups and can transform old tattoos into something new. Cover-ups require a consultation so your artist can assess the existing piece and design something that works. Contact us to schedule a free consultation.
