Preparation
STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE COMING IN FOR A TATTOO:
1. GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.
2. STAY HYDRATED.
3. SHAVE AND MOISTURIZE THE AREA - IF YOU START MOISTURIZING A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT, THE PROCESS WILL GO EVEN SMOOTHER FOR YOUR ARTIST.
4. EAT BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT - YOU WILL BE PUTTING YOUR BODY THROUGH EXTENDED STRESS, AND IT NEEDS THE ENERGY TO COMBAT THE TRAUMA TO THE SKIN AND YOUR BASIC BODILY FUNCTIONS. EAT WELL!
5. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING FOR THE PLACEMENT OF YOUR PIECE, AND FOR YOUR OWN COMFORT.
6. BRING A DISTRACTION WITH YOU - A BOOK, PODCAST, MUSIC, ETC.
APPOINTMENT INFORMATION
Pricing
Pricing ranges from $120 to $160, with a shop minimum of $100 to $130. Your rate will depend on your artist! All of our artists offer flat rate designs and flat rate flash (pre-drawn designs up for grabs) alongside our custom work.
Set-Up Fees
A $25 set up fee is implemented per appointment. This fee will guarantee your free touch up, Aftercare Package, and sustain our eco-tattooing pledge with our continued use of biodegradable PPE.
Deposits
Deposits are mandatory, and depend on the size of your piece. Deposit amounts are to the discretion of your artist. All deposits are non-refundable and come off the price of your piece in the end. If your piece takes multiple sessions, your deposit will come off your last appointment with us.
Last Minute Design Changes
With our artists, you have a 3 day window prior to your appointment to switch up your design if you are not in love with your original idea. If you fail to notify your artist within that time frame, your appointment will be rescheduled.
Cancellations
For rescheduling or cancellations, we require a minimum of 5 days notice prior to your appointment. If you are canceling your appointment and your artist has already started the design process for your piece, your deposit will not be refunded. Failure to contact your artist before the 5 day window will result in a forfeit of your deposit. Thank you for your understanding.
