Appointment Requirements & Recommendations:
~All appointments must be booked in person, over the phone or by email to the artist directly.
~All clients must have a valid form of Identification to be tattooed or pierced.
~Clients are expected to maintain a professional manner when receiving their work. Clients are encouraged to take all appropriate steps to ensure the artist can work uninterrupted on their tattoo. Tattooing is very stressful and can be much harder to perform if the client is not able to sit still or must take breaks to handle calls, texts and other personal business.
~We allow only one visitor when approved by the artist to accompany the client while the procedure is being performed.
~Clients are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early for their set appointment time to complete paperwork and payment prior to receiving the tattoo.
~Clients who are late for their appointment for any reason will not receive a reduced rate for their work, which means if you are late the time/cost starts when your appointment time starts, not when you arrive. You will be charged the full rate for the session even if the work is not completed during the scheduled time.
~Appointment times my vary depending on unforeseen circumstances. Examples of unforeseen circumstances may include but are not limited to: clients who pass out/faint during procedures and require extra attention and time for their appointment. Traffic accidents or conditions that my interfere with commutes. Technical or equipment malfunctions prior or during a procedure, design placement issues or client changing ideas and placements at the last minute, etc.

Procedures on minors:
All procedures on minors are subject to approval by the performing artist. All minor procedures require the following documents: Photo I.D. for the parent/guardian of the minor, a photo I.D. for the minor. A school ID or current yearbook is acceptable. And finally the parent/ guardian must present a birth certificate for the minor. If remarriage/name change occurs, bring supporting documents. We are required by law to retain copies of these documents. Parents/guardians must accompany the minor at all times while in the facility. The parent/guardian MUST be present during the procedure.
​
*Please note: ALL minor procedures require the same documents as well as having a parent or guardian present during the procedure, this include jewelry changing services.*
​
Tattoo Pricing:
We have a shop minimum of $60 for all tattooing.
Each artist prices tattoos differently. Some artists choose to work by the hour while others will do a session/piece rate. Ask your artist how they prefer to charge for their service. Discuss your idea with your artist to get an estimate on tattoos that will take multiple hours or sittings to complete.
​
Touch-ups:
We offer free touch-ups if needed on all of our tattoos with the exception of certain body area locations that are known to be areas that do not heal easily or retain the pigment. Fingers/hands, toes/sides of feet, Face/head, ears and lips are examples of common areas that are more difficult to heal or retain the pigments. Such areas will be subject to a minimum touch up fee as determined by the artist performing the work. Touch-ups are only free when a portion of the tattoo did not heal as intended resulting in a lose of ink or clarity/definition in the tattoo. If a tattoo heals as expected without complications and the client wants to add more layers/details/definition/elements to the tattoo a new charge will be applied. Most artists are very passionate about their work and will do their best to make sure every client is 100% satisfied with their tattoo.

Q: Do you do all white tattoos?
A: Working strictly with white ink can have an unpredictable outcome, sometimes looking great and other times looking scarred or off-white once healed. We DO offer this type of tattooing, however we do NOT offer free touch-ups on all white tattoos or any other tattooing where proper healing or retaining pigments can not be guaranteed.
Q: Can I bring my child(ren) to my appointment?
A: No, a tattoo shop is a dangerous environment for a young child. You may bring another adult to watch your child in our lobby, however there are many people trying to deal with painful procedures in our shop. If your children are too rowdy or loud/distracting they will have to be taken elsewhere while they wait for your appointment to finish. There are several seating/play areas in the mall for them to wait. It is recommended to come alone or with one adult friend/spouse for your appointment. Minors are not allowed to sit with you during procedures.
Q: Should I bring a book/Ipod/tablet/ect.?

​
Q: What if I change my idea before my appointment?
A: Even though you took the time to reserve a spot, presenting the artist with last minutes changes can require additional drawing time. Which cuts into the available tattoo time. This can add costs and time to the entire project. It is best to have all ideas final prior to booking the appointment.
