Plan Ahead
Make sure to eat well and hydrate adequately. Avoid, at all costs, getting sunburned and/or drinking alcohol ahead of your appointment. The better you prepare your skin for your tattoo, the better it will be in the long run.
No Children
A tattoo studio is no place for children. No matter how cute they are, they pose a distraction to you and your artist, which is not good for your tattoo. Please make arrangements for childcare beforehand, but if you absolutely must bring them, we highly suggest they stay in the lobby.
No Alcohol, No Exceptions
Under no circumstance should you bring any kind of alcohol at all into the tattoo areas. Absolutely no exceptions on this one. Alongside that, any drinks you do bring (non alcoholic) must be in a plastic bottle with a lid. Not only is this rule but a law and we enforce it. It reduces the risk of contamination and helps enhance all of our clients tattoo experience. Please don't ask to bring either FOOD or DRINK into these areas as we don't want to have to tell you no but we 100% will.
One Guest Only
We understand getting tattooed can be a little scary sometimes. If you’d like to bring your significant other, a family member, or your best bud for emotional support, we don’t mind! We just ask that your +1 uses their indoor voice and manners, as well as refrains from wandering around, talking on the phone, or coming in and out of the shop multiple times,
Relax in the Lobby Until Invited Over
We have a pretty comfortable waiting area. Hanging out here until invited into a service area helps preserve the cleanliness and integrity of our service areas.
Be On Time & Prepared for your Appointment
Regardless of being a custom studio with the ability to draw your idea, we cannot create a tattoo idea for you. You should have an idea of what you want before you make an appointment. When you do decide on something and make an appointment, you should definitely show up for your appointment. Regardless of why you can't show up, whether it's personal reasons, a sunburn, or a hangover, it’s appropriate etiquette to let your artist know. If a deposit has been sent, you will not get it back, and each artist has their own deposit/booking requirements they adhere to. We set aside our time and turned other clients away during your appointment slot and if you leave us hanging, we are the ones losing.
We Are Professionals with a Professional Process
We know what will and will not work for your tattoo. Sometimes, exactly what you want will not work well as a design. Remember, we have your best interest in mind. We pride ourselves in our work and want to make sure you receive the best tattoo possible. Keep in mind, when a certain design will not work well we will tell you, and it’s in your best interest to listen to the professionals if you want an amazing result. We do not believe in pressuring anyone into a quick tattoo for easy profit, as it would reflect poorly on our shop and artists. Also, please understand that a good tattoo begins with an initial consultation to discuss your idea, plenty of reference material, a drawing process, and then an in-shop secondary consultation wherein resizing and detail adjustments happen. We believe in general business ethics and want to ensure your tattoo is done correctly, and will last.
