Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take walk-ins?


Yes, we accept walk-ins when availability allows. However, appointments are recommended to guarantee your spot. Feel free to call, message, or stop by the shop to check our availability for the day. We are primarily appointment-based, so availability for walk-ins may vary.

How much do tattoos cost?


Pricing depends on the size, detail, placement, and complexity of the tattoo. For an exact quote, send us your tattoo idea, reference photos, placement, and approximate size. You can also review our tattoo pricing and session options on the Appointment tab.

Do you offer custom designs?


Absolutely. We specialize in custom artwork tailored to each client's vision.

Can you tattoo over scars?


In many cases, yes. We recommend waiting until scars are fully healed before tattooing over them. If the scar is from a surgery, it must be at least 1 year old before we can evaluate it for tattooing. A consultation may be required to determine if the area is ready and suitable for a tattoo.

Do you do cover-ups?


Yes! We specialize in cover-ups. Send us clear photos of your existing tattoo for a consultation.
