Tattoo FAQ

How do I book an appointment for a custom tattoo?

Once you’ve selected your artist preference, you can either fill out the tattoo consultation form, stop by the shop, or send a detailed email with a description of the design, reference photos, colors, and available dates (the more flexible you are, the quicker we can schedule you in). Complete information will enable us to process your request efficiently. We schedule appointments a maximum of three months in advance. Please give us 1-3 days to reply your email, do not send us multiple requests.

Note: Our artists are located across multiple studios, some do not travel between the studios.

How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?

You must be at least 18 years of age. It is against California law to tattoo a minor, even with parental consent. In accordance with this law we have a strict NO MINORS POLICY. Not only must you be 18, you must provide a valid state or federal photo ID. Military ID cannot be accepted due to photocopying restrictions. No exceptions.

How much does a tattoo cost?

It depends on the artist, our minimum charge is $80 per person. Final price is dependent on size, detail of the design, colors and selected artist.

How can I get a price quote?

The best way to get an accurate price range is by booking a (free!) consultation with the artist through a brief detailed email (preferred) or in person. In order for us to provide a quote, we need to consider the subject, size, placement on the body, detail, colors, etc.

You are also welcome to come to our studios and talk to one of our managers or artists, if they are available. We are always more than happy to get you the information you need.

When can I get my sketch?

Your artist will show you the sketch on the appointment date and will review the design with you at your appointment time before tattooing. If necessary, the artist will edit the design, until you are satisfied. We do our best to schedule sufficient time for each session, so please be clear on what you want in advance instead of changing the whole concept when you come in the studio.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes, if you do not have a preferred artist, you are welcome to come in for a walk-in session. Depending on availability we may schedule you for later in the day or for a following day. Note that some of our artists do not accept walk-ins and are booked a few weeks in advance. We will always do our best to accommodate your requests.

How long does a tattoo take to heal and what should I do after?

It usually takes two weeks to “heal”, although it takes longer for the skin to fully regenerate. It is not advisable to do sports, sunbath or swim after tattooing. The healing process for natural tattooed skin usually takes 7-28 days. Even if the tattoo looks healed, the natural protective skin barrier recovery period continues for another three to four weeks.

You will be given care instructions note after your tattoo session. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions. One who follows tattooed skin aftercare instructions poorly, will not be happy about it sooner or later. During the healing progress, the color of the tattoo may partially fade away to the extent that some areas of the skin may even get damaged. Very subtle lines can become wider than before. For others, the entire tattoo can fade away prematurely. Good skincare really plays a vital role in the final result.

Also, you should never forget that you and your artist have invested a lot of time and effort in order to provide you the best possible result, so please follow the instructions! In addition, we do offer a one time FREE touch-up for our clients within six months if required.

What forms of payment are accepted?

We accept cash, Zelle, or credit cards with 3% additional transaction fee (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express). No checks.

Do I need to leave a deposit if I decide to schedule an appointment?

Yes. A $60-$300 deposit is required to make an appointment. Deposits are non-refundable, non-transferable and will be applied to the final price of your tattoo. Our artists reserve time slots just for you so please arrive on time.

Can I reschedule my appointment?

Please contact us at least 5 days in advance if you wish to reschedule. Reschedules less than 5 days in advance may result in loss of deposit. Appointments may be rescheduled up to two times before forfeiture of deposit and requirement of a new deposit. Touch-ups may also be rescheduled up to two times, a fee may be required for additional reschedules.

How should I prepare for my tattoo?

We recommend that you eat and rest well before you come in, and remember to stay hydrated! If you start to feel woozy, have something sweet. Sugar is the key in this situation. It’s best not to party the night before because alcohol can increase bleeding for up to 24 hours. Bleeding also dilutes the ink pigments, affecting the appearance of your tattoo as well as the healing process.
