Good to know

Before you come in

Do I need an appointment?

Walk-ins are welcome for smaller tattoos and most piercings. For larger or custom work, message us or call ahead to set up a consultation.

How much will it cost?

It depends on size, detail and placement. Your artist gives you a quote once they see the idea. A deposit books your time and comes off the final price.

How old do I have to be?

You must be 18 or older with a valid government photo ID for tattoos. Bring your ID with you.

Do you do custom designs and cover-ups?

Yes. Bring references or a rough idea and we will draw something custom, including cover-ups of older work.

How do I take care of it?

We send you home with full aftercare instructions and answer any questions. Follow them and your tattoo or piercing heals clean.

What about piercings?

We do ears and body piercings with quality jewelry. Most piercings are walk-in friendly during shop hours.
