+ How much does a tattoo cost?
The cost of your tattoo will vary depending on the size and time it will take, and the artist doing the job. Best thing to do is to book a consultation with the artist of your choice. Our minium charge is $150 and it goes up from there.
+ How much do consultations cost?
Consultations are free.
+ Do I need to pay a deposit for my tattoo appointment and how much?
Usually we take a deposit of $50-$150 depending on the time involved in the project. We do require a deposit to secure the booking for the actual tattoo. This comes off the final cost of the tattoo. Deposits are non refundable. If you need to cancel or move your appointment and give us more than 48 hours notice we will keep the deposit as shop credit for you.
+ Why do I need to pay a deposit?
Deposits are there to protect the artists from no-shows and last minute cancellations. They are a way of ensuring that the job will happen and that the client is serious. If you don't show up to your appointment your artist does not get paid. Failure to notify us within 48 hours or more than 3 reschedules will result in the loss of your deposit and the need to pay a new one to secure a new time.
+ Shop hours:
We are open from Tuesday through to Saturday 10am - 5pm. Often our artist work after hours by appointment.
+ Things to remember before your appointment:
Be on time for your appointment. It's best if you've had a good nights sleep and eaten something substantial before getting tattooed. The healthier you feel the better the experience will be.
