FAQ
What kind of tattoos do you do?
Our artists cover a wide range of styles. To help match you with the right artist, please send us a message on our text line or give us a call.
How to I book a tattoo appointment?
We try to make it as easy as possible! Here is a list of info for you to send over to our text line!
Your name
Photo references
Where on your body it's going (also L or R side)
Photos of where it's going to go (unless it's in an intimate area)
Sizing in inches (none of that same size as the photo junk)
Please also include any modifications or additions.
also, please keep in mind that our artists are NOT printers, and can only do things so small. We will guide you through the sizing process to give you the best tattoo possible and not have you walking around with an unrecognizable blob as a tattoo.
*If there is more than one person getting tattooed, we will also need them to text in with their information so we can go over the information, our deposit policy and secure a deposit.
Do I have to put down a deposit?
Yes. A deposit is required in order to schedule an appointment with any of our artists.
Please note: deposits are NOT refundable.
Our detailed policy is on this page for further reference.
I want a tattoo but I’m on a limited budget. How do you determine pricing?
Tattoo artists typically charge either a flat rate or an hourly charge. We recommend speaking to us to help choose an artist and learn about their pricing.
Our shop minimum is $150
We also accept credit cards.
How much does a sleeve cost?
The cost depends on several factors, including:
- Black & grey vs. color
- The client’s body size and placement
- The level of detail
- The size and number of individual pieces within the sleeve
If you’re looking to start or continue a sleeve, please reach out to us via our text line. We’ll gather the necessary information and discuss all of these factors with you.
We always provide clear pricing before scheduling an appointment, so you know exactly what to expect.
How old do you have to be to get pierced?
Do you accept walk-ins for tattoos/piercings?
Tattoos are primarily done by appointment so we can give each client the time and attention they deserve. We do accept walk-in tattoos when an artist is available—we recommend calling or texting before coming in to check availability. Please note that larger or more complex tattoos may need to be scheduled rather than done as a walk-in.
Piercings are offered mostly on a walk-in basis, as this is what most of our clients prefer. However, we strongly recommend booking an appointment if:
- A young child is getting their ears pierced
- You have needle anxiety
- Your group is larger than 3–4 people
This allows us to provide a calmer, more focused experience.
All walk-ins are first-come, first-served, even if you call or text ahead.
What do you recommend for tattoo & piercing aftercare?
We have a few options for aftercare available for sale in the shop. All tattoo aftercare is made with limited, natural ingredients.
We also carry NeilMed sterile saline spray for piercing aftercare.
Printouts of our aftercare instructions are available in the shop for your convenience.
How old do you have to be to get pierced?
We perform ear lobe piercings on children starting at 4/5 years old (Sorry, no babies). No, we DO NOT use guns, only single use needles.
New York State says anyone under 18 years old must have parent permission in order to get pierced, and yes, they must be present.
You can find more info under the PIERCING SERVICES tab.
