Tattoo FAQs

How much does a tattoo cost?

Starting at $80 minimum. Custom pieces are quoted during a free consultation — price depends on size, detail, placement, and artist. No pressure, no deposit until you're ready.

Does getting a tattoo hurt?

Pain varies by placement. Ribs, spine, and feet tend to be more sensitive. The outer arm and thigh are generally easier. Your artist will work with you to keep you as comfortable as possible.

How do I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Eat a solid meal beforehand and stay well-hydrated. Wear loose clothing over the area being tattooed. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your session.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

The surface heals in 2–3 weeks. Full deep healing takes 2–6 months. Follow your aftercare instructions and avoid sun exposure, soaking, and picking.

Do you offer free touch-ups?

Yes — free touch-up within 90 days on any non-discounted work. Come back if the healed result needs a small correction and we'll take care of it.
