:: HOW DO YOU CHARGE FOR TATTOOS ::
I approach tattoo pricing in different ways. Pricing depends on a few different factors.
Single Session Tattoos, or tattoos done in one sitting are usually quoted on the spot, based on hourly projection. Each artist is slightly different in their cost, but you can generally expect to pay around the national average of $150 when getting tattooed by me.
Larger Projects or Multi-Session Work (ie: Sleeves, Backs, Legs, Cover Ups, Reworks,) will usually be offered Session Rate Pricing. Session rate is $600 for a half day (3 to 4 hours) or $900 for a full day (6 to 8)
:: HOW DO I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT ::
To best assist you in booking your appointments, please check out our Artist Section here on our site. Be sure to look at each artists portfolio of work. Then once you know which Artist(s) work you prefer, you can contact us direct through message or phone. We will then get you in contact with that artist, and they will walk you through the process of setting up consultation and/or appointment times.
You can contact me here throught the website, email me or direct message me through on of my socials. Single Sessions Work can usually be set up online through email, but will sometimes require an in person consultation. Multiple Session Work and Cover Up or Rework will almost always require an in person Consultation when possible. If you are not located local to me, I do offer video calls.
:: ARE DEPOSITS REQUIRED ::
I do reguire a Non-Refundable Deposit of $200 to book any and all appointments. This will be a simple, up front fee that will be taken to hold your appointments. Clients will loose their deposits in the event of a Cancelation, No Call - No Show, and in some cases arriving late without notice. That deposit will come off the final price of the tattoo. I accept PayPal and Venmo for electronic payments. Cash or card is accepted in person at the studio.
Response times to email requests can sometimes take up to a few weeks. I have a high volume of requests for new clients, as well as our rotating clientele. I am also a father and have responsibilities outsode of work as well. Please be patient when inquiring about availabilities and information. If you have reached out, and have not heard a response after 3 week, please call or email the shop direct.
:: HOW LONG IS THE WAIT FOR A TATTOO ::
Appointment wait times will vary. Currently there is about a 4 month waiting period. My personal and work schedule as well as your personal schedule and availabilities will ahve a factor as to when you can expect to book and appointment. Common Days Off for most working class tend to be more popular appointments, and tend to have a longer wait period. We recommend booking a good distance ahead of time, allowing you to schedule days off and/or make arrangements for your day.
:: CAN I BRING A FRIEND(S) ::
I always will welcome you to bring a friend or two with you when necessary. We know tattooing can be a major event, and in some cases a nervous one. So having a friend or family member can help you during that time.
