Q: Do I need to pay to book a consultation appointment?
A: No. Consultations are currently complimentary 30-minute sessions. We offer a free tattoo consultation to discuss your ideas, placement, design vision, and price. Simply give us a call, send an email, or reach out through our social media | contact form. We will respond promptly to schedule your appointment.

Q: Do I need to pay a deposit to book an appointment?
A: Yes. A non-refundable $75 deposit is required to secure your tattoo appointment. Your deposit will be applied toward the total cost of your tattoo on the day of your session. It reserves your appointment time and covers the time invested in designing and preparing your custom artwork and stencil.

Q: How is the tattoo pricing calculated?
A: Every tattoo is unique, so pricing is based on factors such as size, complexity, placement, and the estimated session length. Before your appointment, you'll receive a clear price quote and time estimate, so you know exactly what to expect.

If your tattoo takes longer than estimated, you'll never be charged more than your quoted price. If it takes less time than expected, you'll only be charged for the time used, rounded to the nearest 15-minute increment.

To provide fair and transparent pricing, we use a progressive hourly structure:

• Hours 1–2: $200/hour

• Hours 3–4: $175/hour

• Hours 5–10: $150/hour

• Hour 11 and beyond: $100/hour

Our goal is to provide exceptional craftsmanship with complete transparency, so you can focus on enjoying the experience—not worrying about unexpected costs.

Q: Do you offer any promotions or special pricing?
A: Yes! We offer a variety of savings opportunities throughout the year:

Extended Sessions: Receive 25% off tattoo sessions estimated at 2 hours or longer, with progressively lower hourly rates for longer sessions.

Refer a Friend: You and the friend you refer will each receive $50 off eligible tattoo sessions.

Exclusive Collection Designs: Each month, a limited selection of exclusive flash and collection designs is offered at 25% off. These designs are available for a limited time and are tattooed only once.

A $100 minimum charge applies to all tattoos. Promotions cannot be combined and do not apply to minimum-charge tattoos.

Q: What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
A: We understand that life happens. If you provide at least 48 hours' notice, you may reschedule your appointment one time, and your deposit will transfer to your new appointment.

The new appointment should be scheduled within 90 days of the original appointment. If our next available opening falls outside that timeframe, your deposit will remain valid for the next available appointment.

Appointments canceled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours' notice, missed without notice, or rescheduled more than once will require a new deposit.

Q: What if I need to stop my tattoo session before it's finished?

A: That's completely okay. If you need to end your session early due to comfort or fatigue, you'll only be charged for the time worked. The remaining work can be completed during a follow-up appointment at the same hourly rate.

To keep your original deposit and pricing intact, your follow-up appointment should be scheduled within 60 days of your original session.

Q: What if I become pregnant or experience an unexpected medical situation?

A: We understand that unexpected life events can arise. If you experience pregnancy or another medical circumstance that affects your appointment, please contact us as soon as possible. These situations are reviewed individually, and we'll do our best to find a fair solution for both you and the studio.

Q: Why do you have these policies?

A: These policies help us provide every client with the highest level of service while respecting the time reserved for each custom tattoo. They allow us to dedicate the necessary preparation, design work, and uninterrupted focus to every piece while maintaining flexibility whenever possible.

Our goal is never to keep a client's deposit; we'd much rather create your tattoo. These policies simply help protect the time, planning, and preparation that go into every custom piece.
