Our shop minimum is $120 for most placements. Ribs, butts, fingers, heads, etc. start at $150.

Each artist in our studio has a different price rate. Their individual rates can be found on their request forms. While our artists all have hourly rates, most tattoos will be priced per piece. To get a quote, please fill out our request form online and we will get back to you with a pricing estimate from our artists.

While we do our best to make sure there are no surprises regarding cost, factors the day of the appointment such as size and detail may impact the final cost, so our quotes are only estimates and not solidified prices.

To book an appointment, simply fill out a request form on our website under Tattoos. This form just takes a couple of minutes and will give our artists everything they need to know about what you're wanting to get. If you have a specific artist in mind, you can fill out their direct request form by clicking on the request button below their name. If you don't have a preference, are unsure, or are wanting to get in within the next couple of days, you can fill out the First Available form and we will match you up with an artist who would be a good fit for your requested tattoo style and availability. Please fill out this form rather than sending an email, social media DM, etc. We have a pretty organized and streamlined system, so this form is our preferred way to process requests, which means a faster response time for you! 😊

When filling out your form, be as specific as possible. If you want a tattoo of a word, tell us what the word is and what font you like. Want flowers? Tell us what types of flowers. If you have a specfic style you're thinking, include reference photos that show that style. Wanting to come THIS Saturday? Be sure to say something like "this Saturday, the 12th" instead of just "Saturday", so we don't think you mean any Saturday. The more detailed you are, the easier and faster the booking process will be.

If you're wanting to come as a group with other people to get tattooed, be sure to have EVERYONE fill out a separate form, even if it's for the same tattoo. That way, we have everyone's info in our system. We have a question in our request form that allows you to list everyone you're coming with so that we can know to try to schedule you together.

Once we receive your request form, we will pass it along to our artists and have them take a look. They will then let our booking team know a price quote, time estimate for the appointment, and share any thoughts or questions they have about the tattoo. Our booking team will give you a call to let you know this information and give you the option to book an appointment, if you're ready to get something set up at that time. So if you're submitting a request, be sure to be on the lookout for a phone call from us and make sure you're voicemail is set up/has space so we can leave a message if you don't answer! If we aren't able to leave a message, we will try to reach out by email, but we prefer to correspond by phone when scheduling.

If you decide to book at that time, we will find you a good time to come in get you set up in our system with an appointment. Our system will then send you a link to complete the booking on your end through Express Booking. (Please see our cancellation policy for more information.) Once you're done with that, you will be all set!

Sometimes our artists will want to schedule a consultation with you prior to setting up the actual tattoo appointment. The purpose of consultations are to chat about the details to make sure you're on the same page, that they're the right fit for the tattoo, that the tattoo is doable, to see the tattoo placement in person, etc. If the artist wants to set up a consultation first, our booking team will let you know when we call. You're also welcome to request a consultation before booking if you would prefer to meet in person before booking. Most consulations take place in person in our studio, but in some cases can be done virtually. Consultations generally take no more than 30 minutes and are free of charge.

If you are simply looking for a price quote, we encourage you to still fill out the request form. Filling out the form does not obligate you to schedule an appointment, but the form will be easiest way to get pricing information. You're also welcome to swing by the shop and inquire, but we do try to match you up with the best artist for the specific tattoo style you're wanting/your availability and we can't guarantee that "right" person will be available to chat at that time. Our front desk staff can try to do their best to give you a ballpark estimate, but they aren't the professionals and every artist has a different rate, so pricing will vary. That said, if you do swing by and someone isn't available, we would be happy to set you up for a consultation at a later time/date.

It can take up to seven days to process your request. However, in most cases, you generally should hear back within a couple of days. If you haven't heard back within a week, feel free to give us a call so we can make sure your form came through. If you're wanting to come within the next few days, please be sure to note that in your availability and we will do our best to expedite the process. If you're wanting to come the same or next day, please also give us a call so we can make sure to have our artists take a look immediately.

If you have any other questions about the booking process, please feel free to call or email!

While appointments are encouraged, we will do our best to accommodate walk-ins and same-day appointments when availability allows.

If you're wanting to come the same or next day, feel free to call ahead to check availability. We will likely ask you to send over a reference photo and a few details so we can check to see if we have time an artist available for what you're wanting. You're also welcome to swing by, but please be prepared to wait and understand that we can't guarantee we'll have availability. And don't forget your ID!

Before your appointment, you will receive a text 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time asking you to click a link to confirm. Please do so as soon as possible so that we know you're coming and the artist can prepare your artwork. Please also complete your paperwork at this time, if you haven't already done so. This can be found at the link in a text sent at the time of booking.

Once you arrive, please see our receptionist at the front desk direrectly in front of you by the stairs. They will check you in and make sure your paperwork is complete and we have everything we need. Your artist will automatically be notified that you've arrived and our receptionist will let you know you can have a seat while you wait.

When your artist is ready for you, they will let you take a look at the design they've prepared for you. They may also have some alternative design and size options for you to consider. If you would like to make any small design changes, those can be made at that time, but please note that major changes man require rescheduling. If the changes impact the original quoted pricing that may be different from the time of booking, that will be communicated. We never want you to be surprised about cost.

Once you're happy with the design and size, they will prepare your stencil and take you to their booth. The stencil will be applied to your skin and you can take a look in the mirror and make sure you're happy with the placement. It can be moved as many times as you want, so please don't hesitate to express any and all opinions! When you're happy with the stencil and it has had a few minutes to dry, your artist will get you settled sitting or laying down (depending on the placement) and make sure you're comfortable. Consent is our number one priority, so before touching you or beginning the actual tattooing, they will always ask to make sure you're ready and give permission.

During the tattoo process, you're more than welcome to listen to music, watch a show on your iPad, scroll on your phone, read a book, or whatever else you'd like to do to entertain yourself. (As long as you have headphones for audio and aren't disturbing other clients/artists!) We also always love chatting with our clients, but we're never going to be offended if you want a silent appointment. Anytime you want to take a break to go to the bathroom, stretch your legs, have a snack, run to feed your meter, etc. just let us know. We build time for those things into appointments, so we can take all the time you need.

When the tattoo is complete, your artist will let you take a look in the mirror and make sure you're happy with the final product. Once you've given your approval, the artist may ask to take a few photos and will then cover the tattoo in a protective wrap. They will go over aftercare with you, provide you with an aftercare pamphlet to take home, and answer any questions you may have.

At checkout, your artist will take you to a kiosk located at one of the front counters and will check you out. If you would like to purchase one of our aftercare products, just let your artist know and they would be happy to assist you with finding the right one of you. We accept all major credit/debit cards, ApplePay, Samsung Pay, and cash. Tipping is never required, but always appreciated. We're fully paperless, so you'll have the option to email yourself a receipt and be on your way!

Should you have any questions about the healing process or aftercare after your visit, you're always welcome to give us a call, email, or contact your artist directly. If you need a touch-up, that can be scheduled when the tattoo is fully healed, which is generally around three weeks after the initial tattoo. Touch-ups are free of charge when done by the original artist within 90 days of the appointment.

Now that we've gone over what you can expect the day of, here's a quick list of dos and don'ts to consider before and after your appointment:

Do:

• Confirm your appointment by clicking the confirmation text link

• Fill out your paperwork before arrival

• Eat a light meal before your appointment

• Get a good night's sleep the night before your appointment

• Exfoliate and moisturize your skin in the days leading up to your tattoo

• Bring headphones, a book, tablet, etc. if you want something to keep yourself entertained during long appointments

• Bring a water bottle/light snack (But don't worry if you forget - we have some too!)

• Bring a light jacket if you get chilly

• Follow your artist's aftercare instructions and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about the healing process/aftercare

• Consult with your doctor if you have any medical concerns

Do NOT:

• Drink alcohol before or directly after your appointment

• Take blood thinners before your appointment

• Go swimming, in the sun, tanning, etc. until your tattoo is healed

• Apply products to (aside from aftercare products recommended by your artist) or shave the tattooed area until it is fully healed

You must be 18 or older to receive any tattoo services in the state of Georgia. You can NOT get a tattoo underage, even with parental consent. No exceptions.

All tattoo services require a valid photo ID showing that you are 18 or older. You will also be asked to complete paperwork each calendar year you visit the shop, including a release form and acknowledgment of notification of risk/aftercare instructions.

Paperwork will be sent to you digitially through a link at the time of booking. Please read over everything thoroughly, fill out the required fields, and upload a photo of your ID prior to arriving for your appointment.

Acceptable identification must be an official government-issued identification (ex: driver's license, passport, military ID). This must include a photo ID, legal name, and birthdate. Student IDs, social security cards, etc. will not meet the requirements. And while we love your selfies, but that's not going to be satisfactory for the health board, so please be sure that's not what you upload. 😉

Please bring your ID with you to the appointment as well, in case there is an issue with your forms or the photo you uploaded. We cannot perform services for anyone without a legible copy of identification, so better safe than sorry!

In an effort to keep our client-to-artist ratio to a minimum and maintain plenty of space in an already tight space, you are limited to ONE additional guest during your visit, at the discretion of your artist.

Any additional guests will be asked to wait outside, with the exception of guardians for minors or for extenuating circumstances, such as mobility challenges. If you require assistance from a family member or friend, please let us know at the time of booking and we can make arrangements to accommodate this during your appointment.

All tattoo appointments require that you place a valid credit or debit card on file in our system to reserve your spot and pay a deposit. Deposits paid are typically 30% of the overall quoted total for your tattoo and are not an additional charge, but go towards your final payment. You will receive a link via text at the time of booking to the phone number we have on file to complete this portion of the booking process through our Express Booking portal. If you are unable to complete this online, you may also give us a call or come by the shop to place your card on file. Deposits must be made within 24 hours of booking in order to hold the appointment time. If this is not completed within that window, your appointment will be automatically canceled by our booking software and you will receive a text notifying you of the cancellation. Should this happen and you would still like to keep that appointment, please give us a call and we can refresh the link for another 24 hours for the same appointment time, as long as someone else has not already taken the spot.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let us know at least 48 hours prior to your appointment, otherwise your deposit will be considered forefit and you will need to place another deposit to be rebooked. If you reschedule your appointment more than three times you will be required to pay in full at the time of booking/rebooking in order to schedule future appointments at our studio.

If you are more than 15 minutes late to your appointment, we cannot guarantee that we will still have time for your services and your deposit will be subject to forefit based on artist discretion. If you show up to an appointment and are underage, don't have proper identification, are under the influence, or any other extenuating circumstances that prohibit us from performing your services, you will forefit your deposit as well.

All design changes for appointments scheduled in advance must be made at least seven days prior to your appointment. While we generally build in time during your appointment for small tweaks, you may be asked to reschedule your appointment and pay a late rescheduling fee if any major changes are requested during your appointment. If your appointment is booked less than seven days in advance, please let us know of any desired changes as soon as possible and it will be at the artist's discretion to determine if there is enough time to accommodate the changes.

Our cancellation and rescheduling policy is in place to give our artists enough notice to try to fill the slot and avoid any unnecessary drawing for your tattoo. Our artists work hard to prepare artwork prior to your appointment and it's incredibly unlikely they will be able to refill that space with another tattoo on short notice, which means a portion of or even a full day without pay. This is their livelihood, so please be respectful of their time.

We want to keep our staff and clients safe and well, so if you are sick and have a fever/may be contagious, please call the studio as soon as possible to let us know. We can chat at that time about late cancellations for illnesses.

Please note that you MUST make every attempt to let us know about cancelling or rescheduling. If you call to cancel and we don't answer, please leave a voicemail or send us an email. Just calling and hanging up when it goes to voicemail doesn't count as contacting us to cancel and your deposit will be subject to forefit.

We longer provide numbing cream in studio, however if you wish to use it you can discuss the idea with your artist ahead of time and they can recommend you brands and where to purchase.

While most people are totally fine without using it for the majority of tattoos and placements, if you're particularly concerned about the pain or if you're getting the tattoo in a placement that's generally more uncomfortable (like ribs) then you may want to consider applying numbing cream prior to your appointment. We always ask that you discuss this with your artist prior to booking.

Numbing cream would need to be applied topically 60 - 90 minutes before your appointment, so you would want to purchase it before the day of your appointment. Please be sure to plan ahead and let your artist know you are using it beforehand, as it does slightly change the texture of the skin while applied. Some artists are not comfortable tattooing with numbing cream on the skin, so please let us know by the time of booking if you plan to use it.

If you arrive to your appointment with numbing cream preapplied but did not discuss this with your artist prior to appointment, your deposit will be subject to forefit and your appointment may be rescheduled at artist discretion. We have a question on our request form where you can let us know if you're anticipating using numbing cream. If you're unsure if it's the right option for you, we can schedule a consultation with the artist to discuss your concerns and options.

You will be required to sign an aftercare form at the time of your visit and your artist will review all aftercare instructions during and after your services. We will also provide you with a pamphlet at the end of your services, detailing everything you need to know. If you woud like to review aftercare details prior to your visit, you can view more information here.

We have a variety of high-quality aftercare products available for purchase at checkout. Appointments are not needed to shop aftercare products, so feel free to swing by anytime during regular business hours!

Face masks are optional at this time, at the discretion of the artist. However, if you have been sick or symptomatic within the last seven days, we ask that you please be considerate of our employees and clients and wear one over your nose and face when entering the building. We are following the recommendations of Athens-Clarke County and will update our website should this policy change.

If you are currently sick with a fever/may be contagious and have an appointment scheduled, please call to let us know as soon as possible.
