Yes. All consultations are free. Consultations are strongly recommended for custom work, cover-ups, and larger pieces so we can discuss design, placement, pricing, and expectations before booking.
You can book through our website or contact the shop directly. A deposit is required to secure all appointments. Deposits go toward the final cost of your tattoo.
Our shop minimum is $100. This applies to all tattoos, regardless of size, and covers setup, sterilization, materials, and professional preparation.
