Appointments and walk-ins
For most custom work, an appointment is usually necessary, as we put a lot of time and effort into our design process to give you the best possible results. We do take walk-ins when we have time, but it is dependent on the time available and complexity of the design. For custom work, large-scale work, and cover-ups, it is best to stop into the shop and talk about the design with an artist so that they can figure how to best design your tattoo and then set up an appointment from there. Custom work takes time, but we take the time so that you can have the best possible tattoo. To set up an appointment please send an email, give the shop a call, or stop in!

RECOMMENDATIONS
- Eat a good meal before you get tattooed. Food and some sugars are good to boost the blood sugar levels. It helps keep ya from passing out :)
- Try to get a good nights sleep before getting tattooed.
- For the artist's comfort and to reduce possible infection, please take a shower before getting tattooed if you are dirty or stinky.
- Do your research and make sure you have chosen the right artist and made a good design choice.
- Be patient with the design process. Something so permanent should not be rushed.
- Bring some water and a snack.
- Bring a book, headphones, or a friend to keep you occupied.
- Ask any questions you might have. The only dumb question is the one not asked.
- Try to be as calm and relaxed as possible. Yes it hurts, but usually not nearly as bad as people think it will. Most people get too worked up about the thought of the pain, which just makes it hurt more.
