Complete a new client inquiry form. Please share any specific details you have so we may assess which artist(s) will be a good fit for your project.

Someone will respond to your inquiry within 2-3 working days. We do not take same day appointments or walk-ins.

We are currently booking out 2-8 weeks, depending on size and complexity of your desired design. We do have some limited Flash Designs available to book within a quicker timeline.

We are actively booking with clients, so delays in your commitment may mean that your desired date becomes unavailable.

A design deposit is required to confirm your booking and begin the Design Process.

We care deeply about our customers AND the environment. We use Vegan ink and biodegradable materials as much as possible. IF you have health concerns or medical sensitivities, PLEASE let us know in advance so that we can plan appropriately.

Consultation/Briefing - You will have the opportunity to discuss your tattoo in person or via phone, email, or social media messages. We gather information about placement, imagery, and design expectations. Please share your ideas and reference images at this time. Examples help tremendously, so don't be shy! This is your opportunity to guide the design and get involved in the creative process.

A rough draft composition will be submitted to the client for feedback. We aim to have finalized/approved designs ready the week before your appointment date. Please be prompt with feedback and edits so that we may have your final design completed in a timely manner.

We value your opinion and will do our best to include your edits. As a client centered shop, we endeavor to help you come away with the best possible tattoo for YOU. Please keep in mind, we are artists first, we spend a lot of time making sure your tattoo is drawn beautifully and thoughtfully designed. IF you decide to drastically change the concept, size, layout or major elements of the piece OR request more than 1 revision, an additional design fee may apply.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Maintain Consensuality - Your collaboration and trust is incredibly meaningful to us, but our Artists have the right to choose what they say yes and no to (“consent”). The creative process can be a journey. Let’s make sure we both are willing to take the ride every step of the way! The receipt of deposit does not grant the Client full control of the Artist’s time, ability, or person. The Artist reserves the right to discontinue work at any time, and to be appropriately compensated for project time to date in the case of a non-resolution. The collaboration process requires consent every step of the way. If you should change ideas, have a new request after initial agreement or if misalignment occurs within the process, the Artist reserves the right to discontinue work at any time. Please remember that deposits are non-refundable, though your Artist may choose to refund amounts based on their own assessment of how much time they’ve invested prior to the termination of the project.

We have a small boutique space and we do our best to maintain a calm and peaceful environment. We ask that you please limit guests and other avoidable distractions (such as children or pets). It is important that we all have the space to focus on having the most successful tattoo experience. Thank you for being considerate of your sweet little space.
You will be required to fill out and sign an intake form upon arrival. Please remember to bring your ID.
Please let us know in advance if you have ANY medical conditions so that we can plan appropriately.
- We cannot work on skin that is damaged, broken, or sunburned.
- We cannot work on you if you have had a recent joint replacement, or if you are on antibiotics within 2 weeks BEFORE OR AFTER your procedure.
You are asking your body to heal, so take good care of yourself especially on the days before and after your appointment.
- Show up sober, healthy, showered, hydrated, and fed.
- If, at any point during your procedure, we feel that you are not sober or of sound mind, we reserve the right to stop your session. It is at the artists’ discretion to end your procedure at any time if they feel it is not safe to continue.
- Please try to limit caffeine intake before your session.
Please show up ON TIME. We will not work on you if you are more than 15 minutes late without notice. We are happy to move/reschedule your appointment with 48 hours' notice or more. We know life is hectic and do our best to be flexible. Understand that we spend a lot of time preparing for your session and make you a priority, please respect our time. If you reschedule more than twice, we cannot guarantee a 3rd reschedule.
- If you no-call no-show, we will not reschedule with you and your design fee will be forfeit.
Dress comfortably. Feel free to bring a comfy blanket or extra snuggly clothes, this can help you have a more comfortable experience. Please note, tattoos are messy and the clothes you bring/wear may get stained. Dress comfortably and with awareness of the area we will be working on. Please do not wear tight clothing or clothing that rubs on the area where your new tattoo will be.
Stencil - We measure and design your tattoo ahead of time, but we may need to adjust the location or scale of the design the day-of. We'll apply a stencil of your tattoo to the desired location and you’ll have time to view the design on your body and approve placement before we make it permanent.
Timing - We do our best to estimate the amount of time we’ll need, but please reserve plenty of time around your appointment as it may take longer than anticipated. We will offer you an estimate of how long each project will take, but please keep in mind that project times change due to a number of variables.
Aftercare - IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY- You will receive written aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing of your new tattoo. Remember, your new tattoo will need 72 hours of very special care and will take approximately 2-3 weeks to heal completely. Failure to properly care for your tattoo may result in damage to your skin and/or your new tattoo. Never subject a new tattoo to chemicals, fragrances, or sun, and never submerge a new tattoo in water (swimming, bathing, hot tubbing). There is always a small chance that your skin may react negatively to the process of tattooing. Tattoo inks can cause allergic reactions in some people and broken skin is vulnerable to infection, irritation by chemicals, fragrances, sunburn, and heat rash. These reactions can destroy the integrity of your tattoo and are not a reflection of the technical application by the artist.
Payment - Our current rate is $150/hr for procedure time, unless otherwise specified by your artist prior to your appointment. The remaining balance of your tattoo is due the day of your appointment. Preferred payment methods are e-transfers such as Zelle and Apple Pay, or cash. If you prefer to pay with a credit or debit card, a transaction fee may apply.
Tattoos with heART

A design fee is required to hold your appointment time and begin ANY design work. The design fee is non-refundable and can range from $50-$500 depending on size and complexity of design. The design fee is in addition to the hourly fee.

The current hourly rate is $125-150/hr for tattoo services.Hourly rates apply to your entire appointment, not just time the machine is running. Billed tattoo time includes all time dedicated to you, from the set start time of your appointment (even if you are late) to the time you are securely wrapped and ready to leave.

The shop minimum is $150. This applies to all projects, regardless of the size.

We can offer you an estimate of how long each project will take, but please keep in mind that estimates are a best guess. IF you are on a specific budget, we ask that you communicate this with us in advance so that we can plan ahead. Project times vary depending on artwork detail, skin condition and type, how well you sit, etc. We ask clients to understand that this is not a perfect science, it's an ART. If you have questions about the cost, please discuss them with your artist before your session begins.

We are currently booking out 4-8 weeks, Deposits expire after a year, so make sure you schedule a session at the time of your deposit.

Payment in full is due the day of your appointment. Preferred payment methods are e-transfers such as Zelle and Apple Pay, or cash. If you prefer to pay with a credit or debit card, a transaction $10 service fee may apply.
TOUCH UP FEES: In the event that a touch up is needed, a $50 fee will be applied at the touch up session. This touch up fee covers SMALL adjustments; about 20-30 minutes of time is allocated for a session like this. If the piece requires MORE time for reasons such as scarring, lack of proper aftercare, excessive fall out, color work, extensive shading adjustments, or other variables that would extend the time spent working on the piece, the regular hourly rate will apply.

BANDAGE

• For dry healing, you may remove wrap when you get home and immediately begin your aftercare protocol.

• IF we use Saniderm/Ultraderm wrap, you may keep on for 2-5 days. This bandage is mostly waterproof and you can take short warm (NOT HOT) showers while it is on. Please note, your new tattoo will leach ink and plasma under the bandage. This is normal and will not hurt your new tattoo.

• After 2-5 days you may remove the bandage and begin your continued aftercare.

WASH

• ALWAYS wash your hands before touching your tattoo. Gently wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day with unscented antibacterial soap. Pat or air-dry.

BE VERY GENTLE

• Do not scrub, rub, or pick at your tattoo. Scabbing and peeling, is a natural part of the healing process and should not be rushed. Removing the scab can result in loss of ink and damage your tattoo.

APPLY UNSCENTED OINTMENT

• Apply approved ointment (Aquaphor, Hustle Butter or pure coconut oil) 2-3 times daily. Rub ointment into your healing tattoo and gently wipe excess off. Do NOT let ointment build up on your skin, use just enough to absorb completely.

DO NOT SUBMERGE UNDER WATER OR EXPOSE TO SUN

• While you are healing (2-3 weeks), do not expose your tattoo to steam, heat, or sun. Never soak your tattoo or submerge under water. Never use sunscreen or other products on your healing tattoo.

Your new tattoo is considered a wound, so take good care of yourself. Failure to follow aftercare protocols can result in infection or damage to your new tattoo and/or your skin. IF your tattoo becomes red, inflamed or shows ANY signs of infection, seek medical advice immediately.
