How much will it hurt?

No one knows exactly but you. Everyone experiences pain differently, and pain sensitivity varies across the body. What’s more important is your personal tolerance for pain.
Most clients find tattoos less painful than they thought. Many liken the sensation to a cat scratch. Uncomfortable, but bearable. A few even like the sensation. Regardless, we will take our time to work within your threshold.

What is the process?

How much is a tattoo?

The price varies from piece to piece. We keep it fair, but this is not a commodity – we focus on quality over quantity.
Everyone’s requests are different. But, here are some points that might help:

  • The average hourly cost is between $135-$175.
  • WE TAKE CREDIT CARDS (There’s no fee.)
  • Schedule a consultation to discuss prices. (It’s free.)
  • Large and detailed tattoos might take more than one visit.

Do you do walk-ins?

Do you mean you want a tattoo now, or do you want a tattoo today?

If you want a tattoo right now, we don’t want to waste your time. We’re a private studio. We don’t have a front desk and apprentices with open chairs, we have scheduled clients and art to work on. We’ll be that shop someday, but not today.

If you want a tattoo today, that’s different. Use the contact form. Choose today as your preferred time and leave your phone number. If we have availability, we reach out. If we don’t, we let you know when this week we would have time.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

  • Eat a meal and stay hydrated. Bring a water bottle and snacks if you’d like.
  • Bring valid photo identification
  • Bring headphones, a book, or a mental list of things you’d like to watch on Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon, Disney, HBO, or Paramount, there’s a TV here for you.
  • Bring accessible clothes for the tattoo body location.
  • Being well-rested helps.

Can I bring my Friends?

Bring one friend, a good one that will take pictures for you, put on something for you to watch, or hold your hand. Additional friends may have to wait outside the tattoo area.

Can I get a tattoo if I’m under 18?

Yes, for 16 and older. Your parent/guardian must bring matching identification and be present for the tattoo session.
