    • Sunday - Monday by appointment only.

  • DO YOU DO PIERCINGS?

    • Nope, only great tattoos! 

  • HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET TATTOOED?

    • New York State law dictates you must be 18 years of age or over and have proper photo ID in order to get tattooed. There is no parental consent law for tattoos in New York. 

  • ARE WALK-INS WELCOME?

    • Walk-ins are always welcome! They are accepted on a first come, first served basis as time allows. However, the only way to guarantee a spot is to book an appointment ahead of time. 

  • HOW DO I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?

    • Just stop by the shop! Appointments must be booked in-person so you can consult with your artist about the design and leave a deposit. 

    • If you would like to get tattooed by a specific artist, it is best to call us ahead of time to set up a free consultation.

  • DO I HAVE TO LEAVE A DEPOSIT TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?

    • Yes, we require either a $200 (shop minimum) or $250 (one hour) deposit in order to book a tattoo appointment. The deposit amount is based on the size, location, and complexity of the tattoo and the amount of sessions the tattoo will take to complete. 

    • Your deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE. 

    • The deposit holds your appointment time and comes off the price of the final session of your tattoo. It also goes toward any research and drawing for your tattoo. 

  • WHAT DO I DO IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?

    • Your deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE. If you wish to reschedule your appointment, we require a minimum of 48 hours notice in order to transfer your deposit to a new date and time. Failure to give said notice will result in the forfeiture of your deposit. 

  • HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET A TATTOO?

    • There is no set tattoo cost. Prices vary greatly depending on the size, detail, complexity, and placement. The best way to obtain an estimate is to visit the shop for a consultation so we can give you a quote based on the specifics of the piece you’re looking to get. 

    • That being said, the shop minimum is $200, and the shop rate is $250 per hour.

    • If you have a specific budget you’re comfortable with, please make sure to discuss it with your artist when booking your appointment. Since each tattoo is completely custom, they can make modifications to the size and intricacy of the design to accommodate.

  • HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR MY TATTOO APPOINTMENT? 

    • Wear (or bring) comfortable clothes that allow access to the area you will be getting tattooed. 

    • Make sure you have sent your artist any reference they have requested ahead of time so they can properly prepare your design.

    • Eat before your appointment (this is very important!) and make sure you are hydrated before and during your session. 

  • CAN I BRING A FRIEND TO MY APPOINTMENT?

    • To avoid overcrowding the studio and potentially distracting your artist, we ask that you come to your appointment alone. That being said, we want to make sure you feel comfortable. If you must bring someone, please just run it by your artist beforehand.

  • WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?

    • Sorry, no children are allowed in the studio.

  • DO I TIP?

    • If you are happy with your tattoo, it is customary (and appreciated!) to tip.

  • HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY TATTOO?

    • Please visit our AFTERCARE page for detailed instructions on how to best care for your tattoo. 

    • After the initial healing process, keep in mind that long-term care of your tattoo (like protecting it from the sun) will make sure it looks great for years to come.
