  • Age Rules:

    - Must be 18+ to get a tattoo or piercing (ear piercing exempt).

    Under 18? Parent/guardian has to be here, sign papers, and stay the whole time.

    Tattoos for minors only if covering something bad (like an undesirable/offensive tattoo), and parent knows it’s best.

    Parent/guardian needs ID and proof they’re the boss.

  • Yes, you need a legit ID with your face, age, and birthday—like a driver’s, passport, or military ID.

    For minors, school ID or any gov ID works.

  • For major concept or subject changes, provide at least 24 hours' notice. Otherwise, rescheduling and a new deposit will be required to allow time for redraws.

    Minor tweaks and sizing adjustments are completely fine and can be done on the day of your appointment.

    • No-Shows: If you miss your appointment without any notice, your $50 deposit is forfeited. To book another session, a new deposit will be required.

    • Late Arrivals: If you are more than 15 minutes late without letting us know, your appointment may be cancelled to avoid overlapping with the next client, and your deposit will be forfeited.

    • Cancellations: All deposits are non-refundable. If you decide to cancel your appointment entirely rather than rescheduling, the deposit will not be returned.

  • If you need to reschedule, we require at least 24 hours' notice to transfer your deposit to a new date.

    No-Shows: Require a new deposit fee (to hold your spot…again!)

  • Please let us know as soon as possible if you are running behind!

    We typically offer a 15-minute grace period. If you are more than 15 minutes late without giving us a heads-up, it may be considered a no-show, your deposit will be forfeited, and we may need to reschedule your appointment.

  • Usually, one guest per client — keeps it chill for the artist to work and for everyone to feel comfortable.

    NO KIDS, PLEASE.

Preparation & The Process

  • Eat well and stay hydrated before your appointment.

    Avoid alcohol the night before, as it can increase bleeding and affect healing.

    Stay calm—you're in good hands. It’s just a tattoo!

  • Tattoo time depends on the size and details.

    Big & intricate? Takes more time.

    Small & simple? Done faster.

    We’ll plan it out so it fits your flow.

  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your session. It thins your blood, causing excessive bleeding and affecting ink retention and healing.

    We cannot tattoo anyone visibly intoxicated.

  • For safety reasons, we do not tattoo or pierce during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

    We look forward to working with you once you've finished nursing.

  • For your safety, we only use our sterile, implant-grade jewelry for initial piercings. Outside jewelry may cause reactions or infections.

    You are welcome to swap to outside jewelry once the piercing is fully healed!

Gift Cards

  • Gift cards can't be exchanged for cash and are valid for tattoo services only (not piercings or jewelry).

    They're also never expiring, so you can save them for future tattoo sessions.

  • Absolutely. If you have a gift card, please use the Redeem Gift Card button. You will enter your gift card code at checkout to cover the $50.

  • Gift cards cannot be used for piercings and are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash.

  • No problem! Just use the Book Now button to pay your $50 deposit with any major credit or debit card.

Aftercare & Support

  • It takes two weeks to “heal,” but it takes months for the skin to fully regenerate.

  • For aftercare instruction please click here

  • Yes. When you get a tattoo valued at $100 or more with us your tattoo automatically gets FREE touch ups.

    If you got your tattoo somewhere else, we charge depending on size and location. Just contact us.

  • Yes, peeling, flaking, and itching are normal a few days after your session.

    Don't scratch or pick—let it fall off naturally to avoid ink loss and scarring. For itching, gently pat or apply a thin layer of approved aftercare lotion.

  • To protect your tattoo, avoid submerging it in water for 2-4 weeks until healed—no pools, hot tubs, ocean, or baths.

    Showers are fine, but keep them brief and avoid hot water directly on the tattoo.

  • Do not remove the jewelry, as it can trap infection. Bumps are common and usually caused by irritation.

    Clean twice daily with soap (Anti-bacterial Dial soap); avoid touching or twisting. If it becomes hot, swollen, or oozes thick fluid, contact us or see a doctor.
