Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book an appointment?
Once you've found your preferred artist, you can fill out our request form under the 'booking' tab. We will review your request and the artist will get back to you via e-mail to complete the booking process. Response times may vary. Please refrain from filling out the form multiple times per request. If you have questions or wish to alter your request please reach out to us via e-mail.
At what age can I get tattooed?
New York State law prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from receiving a tattoo. Parental consent for minors is also prohibited. You will be required to provide a state issued picture I.D. at the time of your appointment. Failure to provide this will result in the loss of your appointment and deposit. You will need to restart the booking process to request a new appointment.
How much does a tattoo cost?
We have a shop minimum of $100. All of our artists have an hourly rate of $180. The final price of your tattoo is dependent on size, detail, and placement. Your artists can provide you with an estimated quote by request. If you have a budget please let your artist know. We cannot guarantee that your request will be completed within your desired price range.
How can I pay for my tattoo?
Cash is always accepted. Some artists may also accept credit/debit. There is a fee of 2.6% + 10 cents per transaction if you are planning on paying with a credit/debit card. Please check with your artist for which forms of payment they accept.
​
WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS OR ANY PEER-TO-PEER PAYMENT FORM SUCH AS VENMO, PAYPAL, OR CASH APP. ​
How should I prepare for my tattoo?
We recommend eating a good meal and staying hydrated before your appointment. You may bring additional food and drink with you to your appointment. We also have water, coffee, and snacks if you forget. Avoid drinking alcohol, taking blood thinners, or using numbing cream 24 hours before your appointment. Please wear dark clothing that you don't mind potentially getting dirty and please keep in mind that the area you are getting tattooed should be easily accessible. If you are unsure of what is best to wear, please reach out to your artist. Additionally, we recommend bringing a phone charger, headphones, or a book to keep you occupied if you will be there for a long session. At this time, we ask you to refrain from bringing additional guests with you who are not getting work done.
Are deposits required?
Yes. We cannot book an appointment without an $105 non-refundable deposit. This will hold your appointment time and date. It will also be deducted from the cost of the final session of your tattoo. Your artist will send you an invoice to complete this during the booking process. This can be paid with any debit or credit card.
Loss of your deposit will only occur if:
1) You cancel your appointment.
2) You do not show up for your appointment.
3) You decide to make any major changes to your design/concept.
4) You need to reschedule your appointment date.
​
We do not send out final designs before your appointment.
Do you accept walk-ins?
No. At this time we are an appointment only studio. Occasionally an artist may have a last minute slot they would like to fill. Please follow our artists and shop on social media to be updated when this occurs.
How do I care for my tattoo?
Each artist will provide you with specific instructions regarding the aftercare of your tattoo. We also recommend keeping your tattoo out of direct sunlight, pools, hot tubs, and baths for at least two weeks. Please reach out to your artist with any questions or concerns you may have about your healing tattoo.
