18. Regardless if your parents are present or not, you need to be 18 yrs old in the state of California to get a tattoo. We will need to make a copy of your ID on the day of your appointment.

• Shop minimum is $100.

• We do not give prices via email or phone as pricing can vary based on size, complexity, and area being applied.

• For most cases we try to give you a price based on the tattoo design itself. For larger jobs such as back pieces and sleevework, we charge by the hour. Our hourly rates vary from $150-200/ hr

To schedule an appointment, please call or come into the shop any day during normal business hours. You may also visit the artist’s page for more info.

• Yes. For most single session tattoos the non-refundable deposit starts at $50 but may cost more for larger multiple-session pieces. Your deposit will be deducted from your last session. See each artist’s page for deposit amounts and instructions.

• It ensures us that you are serious about your tattoo and that your appointment is guaranteed. It also covers some of the costs of starting the drawing process for our artists.

• If you need to reschedule your set appointment, please give us at least 24 hours notice. Cancellations, reschedules and no shows within 24 hours will result in the forfeit of your deposit.

Get plenty of rest the night before. Eat something substantial before your appt. Do not come in drunk, hung-over, or sick as it’ll be worse for you. If you have naturally dry skin, moisturize the area to be tattooed and drink plenty of water.

• Your artist will apply your first transparent bandage that you will wear for approximately 2 days. During this time, you do not need to apply any topical ointments as the bandage and your own plasma is doing all the work. Showers and workouts are fine as the bandages are waterproof! It is normal for your tattoo to weep during this stage.

• After 2 days, remove the transparent bandage by peeling off one corner. Showers are best as you can use the steam and soap to remove the film. Wash away the plasma and ink that may have collected under the film.

• Dry your tattoo with a clean towel.

• Apply the next transparent bandage by trimming the bandage approx 1” around the size of your tattoo and round the corners.

• Peel the waxy layer from the perforation, apply the bandage while pushing out the folds and bubbles from the center of your tattoo outwards towards the edges.

• Peel away the printed layer and smooth as necessary. Don’t worry about getting rid of all the bubbles/folds.

• Leave the 2nd bandage on for 4-5 days. After removing, you may use a thin coat of unscented, undyed lotion to moisturize.

• Remove bandage after 2 hours. You will not have to re-bandage.

• With clean hands, wash gently with mild, non-abrasive soap and warm water. Pat dry with paper towel or air dry (DO NOT SCRUB)

• Apply a very thin coat of Aquaphor 2x daily for the next 3 days. This will protect your tattoo from infections as it is basically an open wound. Your tattoo should be free of dirt, sweat, sun and submerged water (showers are fine)

• On day 4, switch to a fragrance-free/ dye-free body lotion such as Lubriderm, Eucerin, or Cetaphil for 2 weeks ONLY when it feels dry and/or itchy. As with the Aquaphor, apply a very thin coat.

• Normal healing time takes about 2-4 weeks, with no shiny/waxy areas.

• Do not let your tattoo dry out.

• Do not expose to sunlight, swimming pools, hot tubs, tanning beds etc.

• Do not pick on scabs (this is a normal part of healing)
