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!
