Appointments are recommended, especially for tattoos, to ensure we have enough time for your piece.

Walk-ins are welcome when time allows. Check our social media or give us a call to see if we’re available!

To ensure the best experience and maintain the integrity of the design process, we do not send pictures of the tattoo design prior to your appointment. However, you will have the opportunity to review the design and request any changes on the day of your session. This approach helps keep the creative process collaborative and ensures your tattoo is exactly what you want.

You’re more than welcome to bring one guest for support! We just ask that they stay respectful and hang out in the designated areas so the artist and other clients can stay focused. Since space is limited, please try to avoid bringing large groups—unless everyone is getting a service too.

Legitimate service animals are welcome in accordance with ADA guidelines. If you plan to bring a service animal, please schedule an appointment in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements to ensure the safety and comfort of our artists and other clients.

Please note that emotional support animals and pets are not permitted inside the studio due to health and safety regulations.
