WHAT IS A CONSULTATION? HOW DO I GET ONE?
-
Consultations are typically booked as an opportunity for the client to discuss their design with an artist. During the consultation the artist can give the client a rough estimate of time and cost.
-
You can start the process by using our contact form once you have finished reading the info page.
DO I NEED TO LEAVE A DEPOSIT?
-
We require a non-refundable deposit of $100, $200, or $300 to secure any tattoo appointments. The deposit price is based on how many appointments need to be booked, as well as the size of the piece.
-
Deposits are 100% non refundable. There are no exceptions.
CAN I SEE A DRAWING OF MY TATTOO BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?
-
We have a strict policy that we are unable to send advance drawings of our artists designs prior to any tattoo appointment date.
-

DO YOU DO HAND/NECK/FACE TATTOOS?
-
We have a strict, non-negotiable policy not to do hand or finger tattoos unless the person is already visibly/heavily tattooed (i.e. having full sleeves, full leg pieces, a chest piece, etc). Most reputable studios will have a similar policy.

Our policy is to avoid tattooing hands and other more visible areas (neck and face) until you have greater tattoo coverage in an effort to prevent our clients from limiting any future opportunities.

If you do frequent peels and use Retinols/Retin-A's, other anti-aging creams or serums containing acids please note that this can fade your permanent makeup prematurely.
WHAT OTHER FACTORS CAN AFFECT MY PROCEDURE?

Smoking can cause the pigment to fade prematurely and anesthetics will not last as long.
