FAQ

  • DO I NEED AN APPOINTMENT OR CAN I WALK IN?

    Booking an appointment helps ensure you get the artist and time you want. We are a walk-in friendly studio though! Feel free to give us a call anyway to see what our availability is like!

  • DO I NEED TO LEAVE A DEPOSIT?

    All appointments require a deposit! Deposits are non-refundable. There is lots of work that goes into tattooing that isn’t just limited to “chair time”. This helps both the studios and the artists time not being wasted. If you show up for your appointment, your deposit will be deducted from your total! (The only exception to deposits will be with same day walk-ins).

  • WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

    We understand that life can get in the way sometimes, please respect your artists time by letting us know in advance! Any deposits can be transferred to new or other appointments but they will not be refunded.

  • DO I TIP MY ARTIST?

    Tips are not expected! If you do choose to tip your artist you may do so with the front desk. We accept debit, credit, cash or e-transfer. We will make sure your artist gets your tip but If you would like to tip your artist directly, please bring cash!

  • WHAT IS YOUR SHOP RATE?

    All pieces done under 1 hour are $110. Please see the Artist page to see each artists individual hourly rates.

    All tattoos will also be charged a $25 supply fee & GST.

  • DO YOU TATTOO MINORS?

    We allow as young as 16 years old to be tattooed but a parent/guardian must be present to sign the waiver.

  • HOW DO I PAY?

  • DO YOU DO COVER-UPS?

    Absolutely! All cover-up tattoos require a consultation previous to the appointment to ensure that the artist will be able to excicute the cover-up to your likeness.

  • DO YOU DO PIERCINGS?

    We currently do not offer piercings.

  • Does it hurt?

    Yes... But everyones pain tolerance is different! Where on the body you are being tattooed can also greatly affect the pain levels. If you are worried about the pain; we offer Miracle Numb™ numbing cream for only $35! Come in 30 mins early and we will even help you put it on!

  • I'VE BEEN DRINKING, CAN I GET A TATTOO?

    Please do not come into our studio expecting a tattoo if you are impaired in anyway. This is dangerous for both you and our artists. Drinking alcohol thins your blood temporarily lowering levels of fibrinogen, a blood protein that helps assist clotting. Because alcohol decreases your normal blood clotting ability, you may experience increased bleeding during the tattoo session. Excess blood can make the artists job more difficult to create quality work. Thinned blood can also lead to heavy scabbing, which can have negative effects on the healing process.
