Yes. A non-refundable booking deposit is required to secure your tattoo session. The deposit reserves your artist’s time and is applied toward the total tattoo cost.
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
We allow one reschedule with at least 72 hours’ notice. Additional rescheduling may require a new deposit. Cancellations result in a forfeited deposit to cover the artist’s reserved time.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Our resident artists are usually booked in advance. Walk-in availability is limited and offered first-come, first-served depending on the day and any last-minute cancellations. For the best availability and artist match, we recommend booking ahead.
How should I prepare for my tattoo session?
Get plenty of rest the night before. Eat a full meal before your appointment. Stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol and blood thinners for at least 24 hours before. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the tattoo area. Bring a valid photo ID. You can also review our preparation guidelines before your session.
How long does a tattoo take to heal?
The initial healing process usually takes about two weeks, but full skin regeneration can take several months. You can learn more on our aftercare page.
How do I care for my new tattoo?
Your artist will give you aftercare instructions after your session. In general: Leave the bandage or second skin on for the time your artist advises. Wash your hands before touching your tattoo. Gently wash the area with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel — do not rub. Apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare ointment or lotion. Avoid soaking, swimming, direct sun, scratching, or picking while it heals. Read more on our aftercare page.

We accept cash, credit cards, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, and Afterpay. Please note: a 3% merchant fee applies to electronic transactions. We do not accept checks.
