02 / Talk It Through

Consultation + Placement

Before we start, we'll talk through size, placement, and any tweaks to the design. This is the time to ask questions and make sure everything feels right — no rush.

03 / Get Tattooed

The Tattoo Session

Once the stencil's set and you're happy with the placement, we get to work in a clean, comfortable setup. We'll keep you comfortable and take breaks as needed while the piece comes together.

04 / Take Care of It

Aftercare + Healing

You'll leave with clear aftercare instructions to keep your tattoo healing clean and looking its best. Follow them closely for the first couple of weeks, and reach out anytime if you have questions.

FAQ

Good to Know

Do you take walk-ins?

Yes — walk-ins are always welcome and taken first come, first served. For larger or custom pieces, it's best to call ahead or book a session.

How much does a tattoo cost?

Pricing depends on size, detail, and placement. Reach out with your idea and we'll give you a better sense of cost before you come in.

Do I need an appointment?

Not for smaller pieces and flash — walk in anytime during open hours. For bigger or custom work, we recommend booking ahead so we can set aside the time.

Can you tattoo my own design?

Absolutely. Bring in your reference or idea and we'll work with you to get it dialed in before the session.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Get a good night's sleep, eat beforehand, stay hydrated, and wear something comfortable that gives easy access to the area being tattooed.

How do I take care of a new tattoo?

We'll send you home with full aftercare instructions. In short: keep it clean, don't pick or scratch, moisturize lightly, and keep it out of the sun while it heals.
