Tattoo appointment deposits are taken to insure the studio time is accounted for.  Deposits are taken for tattoo appointments only; we do not take artwork deposits-no new drawing is started without both a deposit and a booked appointment. Any deposit paid is non- refundable/non-transferable and will be redeemed in lieu of a no-show for the appointment.

When you sit down with your artist for the tattoo you will have a chance to view the drawing and/or line-work for the piece. Check the drawing to make sure everything is laid out as you want and, if applicable, words are spelled correctly.  After you’ve looked over the drawing a stencil of your tattoo is applied.

A finished tattoo will be wiped clean and a thin layer of ointment, (Vaseline/A&D) is applied to keep the tattoo moist and allow for weeping. A non-stick bandage covers the area and is then sealed with medical tape.
