HOw much does a tattoo cost?

CAN I BRING MY OWN DESIGN, OR DO YOU CREATE CUSTOM DESIGNS?
Most tattoo artists are open to both options. During your consultation with your artist, we encourage you to share any ideas or reference photos you may have. Our artists also offer the service of creating completely custom designs based on your ideas and preferences.
CAN YOU COVERUP AN EXISTING TATTOO?

IS A CONSULTATION REQUIRED BEFORE SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT?
Our tattoo artists prefer to have a consultation before scheduling an appointment to discuss your design, size, placement, and any specific details. It helps ensure both you and the artist are on the same page, enhancing the overall tattoo experience.
CAN YOU TATTOO OVER A SCAR?
Yes, it's possible to tattoo over a scar, although the process can be more challenging than tattooing on normal skin. Scar tissue can be uneven and may not hold ink as well as regular skin, so it's important to consult with one of our tattoo artists to discuss the feasibility and potential outcomes. Additionally, please consult with your doctor to ensure the scar has fully healed before attempting to tattoo over it.
DO YOU ACCEPT WALK-INS?
Certainly! Walk-ins are always welcome, and we'll help you select the ideal artist based on your tattoo design style.

The average healing time for a tattoo is usually around four (4) weeks. However, individual healing experiences may vary based on factors such as tattoo size, placement, and personal skin characteristics.

  2. Get Plenty of Rest: Ensure you're well-rested before your appointment to help manage any discomfort during the session.
