Tattoo Appointment Intake Process

We are a custom tattoo shop, but will accept walk-ins when we can and if they are in alignment with our priorities.
This means booking appointments in advance is highly recommended and preferable.

Our priorities are:

1. Safety, cleanliness, professionalism
2. Maintaining our artists health (mental and physical), and overall well being
   
3. Creating artwork and tattoos that both our artists and our clients are proud of

* We reserve the right to refuse any ideas and to *politely* decline working with anyone for any reason.
* We are much more inclined to want to work with clients who follow our intake process (outlined below), and who have a positive attitude and flexible mindset about their ideas and the tattoo artists’ input.

To Book an Appointment:

First, please take time to look at our artists’ portfolios and see if one of their styles resonates with you. Once you've chosen a specific artist, please message them directly. If you don’t have a preference, please email our shop manager. When communicating with any of us, please introduce yourself and briefly explain your ideas (we don’t need to know why, we just need to know what.) Include specifics of size, placement, color/no color, and please send reference images. If you have existing tattoos that will be worked around or with, please send images of that as well. If you are requesting a cover up, please send images of what you want covered. Please indicate your scheduling restrictions and/or preferences.

What you can Expect:

Our artists are selective about the work they do, so they may politely decline your request. Please be patient with response times. When we do respond, and if we accept the request, we will work with you to schedule the appointment and collect a deposit. If your artist needs any additional information from you they will let you know. Sometimes artists will work with you on the day of your appointment to make any adjustments or changes or to clarify anything for the drawing. Please allow time for that at the beginning of your appointment. 

Rates/Deposits:

We require a $50 deposit to book all appointments which goes towards your total.

Deposits are non refundable but with 48 hour notice, we can always reschedule if something comes up. Deposits ensure that you are serious about getting tattooed, and that you respect the artist’s time. If you are a no-show, or fail to give us 48+ hours notice, we will retain your deposit and if you want to book again we will require a new deposit. You can read more about our polices here.

Our shop minimum is $100 and our hourly rates start at $150. Artists can give a general pricing estimate if they have good reference and clear direction of what you want. Estimates are estimates and final pricing is always at the discretion of the artist.

Tattoos are permanent. They are something you will have for the rest of your life. Take your time and don’t rush the process. Waiting for a good thing is always worth it.
