Q: Does it hurt?

     A person’s pain tolerance is subjective so it is hard to gauge.  There are some places that are more sensitive than others but most folks describe it as like having a sunburn. Most of our clients getting tattoos for the first time comment on how it is nothing compared to what they initially thought.  In some areas and for cosmetic tattooing, we do use a topical to keep the area as pain free as possible.  Fun Fact:  We have also found that folks who were born biologically female have a higher threshold.

 

 : Do I need a consultation?

     If you need artwork drawn up or if you want a price quote, a consultation is necessary.  If you know what you want and already have the image, You do not need a consult unless you are looking for a price quote.

 

Q: Is there a fee for a consultation?

     There is no fee for a consultation. If the tattoo is going to require a bit of artwork to be done, the artist may ask for a deposit towards your tattoo appointment.  If you do not call or show for your appointment, the artist keeps the deposit.

 

Q: How much does a tattoo cost?

     The cost is determined by a few factors including size, placement, detail and design, plus the cost of set up materials (ink, tools,…Etc.) to gauge a cost you would need to have a consultation with your artist.

 

Q: Can you give a price quote over the phone?

     Unfortunately we can not because we have no idea how detailed or how big or small it would need to be to go with your build. The shop minimum is $100. (meaning that unless it is for a benefit (ex... Semi Colon, Breast cancer ribbons) we do not do tattoos for less than $100.
