MAKING AN APPOINTMENT
-
It is always best to make an appointment rather than to walk-in because we can guarantee your artist's availability. This also gives your artist time to prepare your tattoo to give you the best quality tattoo and experience.
-
In order to make an appointment, first decide what artist you would like to do your tattoo. You will want to make your appointment directly with them, but if you call the shop, we can get you in touch with the artist you are looking for.
-
Depending on how much preparation time your tattoo design will take and the schedule of your artist, you may be asked to leave a deposit to hold your appointment.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
-
It is best to come into your tattoo appointment well-rested and having already ate.
-
DO NOT come into your appointment intoxicated or under the influence. We will not tattoo you under these conditions.
DEPOSITS
-
Deposits are often required to schedule a tattoo appointment. The deposit is a sum of money you leave to your artist ahead of time that will hold the allotted time of your appointment. This amount will be deducted from the price of the final session of your tattoo.
-
Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE.
-
You may lose your deposit at your artist's discretion if...
-
...you change your design more than three times.
-
...you choose to switch artists.
-
...you reschedule your appointment more than three times.
-
...you leave a deposit for more than sixty days with no contact to the artist.
-
...you show up thirty minutes late for your scheduled appointment.
-
...you show up drunk or under the influence for your scheduled appointment.
-
...you fail to give 24 hours notice to reschedule your appointment.
RESCHEDULING & CANCELLATIONS
-
We understand that sometimes life happens and sometimes you need to reschedule. You must give notice of this DIRECTLY to your artist at least 24 hours in advance to your appointment. We'd prefer more time if possible so we can fill your spot and not lose out on the money. Please be respectful of our time.
-
It is not your artist's job to remind you of your appointment.. set a reminder and please try your best to be present and on time.
-
If you are running late please call the shop or contact your artist to give them a heads up. Sometimes we will have to plan accordingly.
PRICING & PAYMENT
-
We accept cash and credit (all major credit cards)
-
The shop minimum for tattoos is $80.
-
Prices for tattoos can vary greatly depending on size, placement, intricacy, and even the artist therefore it is best to speak with your artist directly. Most tattoos will be priced at an hourly rate of approximately $150/hour.
-
Please do not try to haggle our prices. Our rates are our standards and are set for a reason, please be respectful of our profession. If you are on a budget, tell your artist how much you realistically have to spend and they will try to accommodate you. They will give you the best bang for your buck and work out a way to give you a great tattoo without selling themselves short.
-
Remember that our price estimates are ballpark numbers and are subject to change as the design does.
TIPPING
-
Don't worry about doing it wrong.. there is no standard for tipping in our industry. If you are happy with your tattoo, tips are graciously accepted and will go straight to your artist. As far as how much, well that's up to you!
AGE REQUIREMENTS
-
EVERY PERSON GETTING TATTOOED WILL BE REQUIRED TO SHOW A PHOTO ID no matter the age of the client.
-
You must be at least 18 years of age to get tattooed without a legal guardian's permission.
-
Legally, we are allowed to tattoo minors over the age of 16. This requires a photo ID, a notarized parental consent form from a legal guardian, the parent's ID, and the parent who signed must be present for the entire procedure.
-
Anyone under the age of 16 cannot and WILL not be tattooed.
-
Our artists have the right to refuse service at their discretion, especially due to age and appropriateness.
