Walk-ins are welcome for small tattoos, subject to artist availability. To avoid disappointment, book ahead.

A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your slot and goes toward the final price. Reschedules require at least 48 hours’ notice.

Fine line, micro-realism, black & grey, color realism, script, and minimalist designs. 

Yes. Bring clear photos in good lighting. Some designs may require darker tones or larger coverage to properly mask the old piece.

Pain is personal, but most clients describe it as scratchy or hot. Areas with thinner skin (ribs, ankles) feel spicier; fleshy areas (upper arm, thigh) are gentler.

We generally don’t recommend it because it can affect skin texture. If you plan to use it, discuss with your artist first and follow their instructions.

Sleep well, eat a full meal, hydrate, and avoid alcohol/recreational drugs for 24 hours. Wear comfy clothing that exposes the area easily and bring a snack for longer sessions.

We’ll give you written aftercare. In general: keep the dressing on as advised, wash gently with unscented soap, pat dry, apply a thin layer of approved balm, and avoid soaking, saunas, and swimming until healed.

Surface healing is usually 2–3 weeks; full skin recovery can take 4–6 weeks. Expect light flaking/itching — don’t pick!

Wait until the skin is fully closed (typically 2–3 weeks) before heavy workouts or swimming. Avoid direct sun and always use SPF after healing to preserve color.

Yes — complimentary touch-ups within our policy window (ask your artist for details). Touch-ups due to sun damage, improper aftercare, or placement friction may be chargeable.
