Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a deposit and is it refundable?
Deposits are non refundable no matter what! If we have been emailing/messaging back and forth - we are committing our customer service to you to secure a booking. If you change your mind, there needs to be compensation for the shop. If you cancel with more than 48 hours notice we are happy to leave the deposit on file for you until you are ready to rebook! However if you are rescheduling after the 48 hour mark of the appointment -the deposit will be forfeited and you will be required to leave another one. To make it simpler we are calling it a booking fee :D
How much are tattoos?
We have a shop minimum of $150* and we base our prices by the piece. It will depend on the detail, the size, and the location of the tattoo. If you are needing an estimate please schedule a consultation.

Do you do free touch ups?
No we do not offer free touch up appointments. If you leave happy with your tattoo - it is up to you to care for it. We are experienced tattooers and should you need a touch up - it will be due to lack of care/prone area. Please ensure you are familiar with areas that are prone to bad healing.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
1. We do not typically bandage new tattoos. If you require saniderm, please request that!
2. Do not shower or get your tattoo wet for 24hrs. Please shower the following day
3. Clean the tattoo with warm, soapy water. Be sure to use unscented soap that is free of dyes and alcohol. Just use your fingertips, not a washcloth, as the latter will be abrasive to your tattoo. You do not need to have the water directly hit the tattoo.
4. After your shower, pat your tattoo dry with a clean towel. Allow to air dry until it's dry to the touch.
5. Make sure you ALWAYS wash your hands before you touch your healing tattoo, to avoid introducing unwanted bacteria.
6. On day three, should you choose - you can apply a small amount of lotion to your tattoo. This needs to be an unscented lubriderm cream base. No jellies. Ensure you do no over lotion your tattoo as this can cause scabbing and loss of ink.
