How do I book?
Send us your idea, where you want it and roughly the size. We answer with what it would take, and a deposit holds the day.
What does the deposit do?
It holds your appointment and pays for the drawing time. It comes off the final price, and we will tell you before you pay it what happens if you move the date.
Does it hurt?
Some places more than others — ribs, sternum, inner arm and anywhere over bone. We take breaks, and nobody thinks less of you for asking for one.
How long will it take?
A small piece is under an hour. A sleeve is several sessions weeks apart, and we will map that out before the first one.
How old do I have to be?
Eighteen, with identification. No exceptions, whoever comes with you.
Can you cover an old tattoo?
Often, yes. Send a clear photograph in daylight and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
