FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you take walk ins?
Yes we do! Please give us a ring or send us a message to check our availability and confirm if we have time to fit you in.
How can I pay?
We are CASH ONLY. We accept transfers for deposits only, all other payments must be paid in cash.
How do I make a booking?
Do I need to book a tattoo appointment ahead of time?
We highly recommend that you book ahead of time. Each artist has different availability so we cannot guarantee that we will have time for you to come as a walk in. Bigger pieces that require anywhere from 5 hours to a full day should be booked in advance.
What information do you need from me to make a booking?
When booking we need to know the following information:
-
What the design is – a description and reference images are required
-
The placement and size in cm (please do not use subjective terms such as “small” or “hand size”)
-
Any additional information such as skin conditions, if it is a cover up/fix up or anything you think may be relevant
How much does a tattoo cost?
Pricing is based on the tattoo.
When inquiring, we will provide a rough estimate of what the price will be for your tattoo. When pricing, we take into consideration the design, the size, the placement, time needed to complete it, and the skill of the artist we have priced for. Prices are subject to change if you decide on the day to alter the design, change the size or change the placement.
For larger tattoos we may inform you that a full day is needed. Each artist has a set and different full day rate. Full days are 8 hours and sometimes more than one may be needed to complete a piece.
Do you have a shop minimum and what is it?
$150 is our minimum.
What is the full day rate?
When do I get to see the tattoo design?
Designs are shown on the day of the booking.
If you would like to see your design before the booking or you require the artist to draw up a custom design, a drawing fee of $50-$100 is required to be paid in cash at least a week before your booking. The artist will not begin working on the design until the drawing fee is paid.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Deposits are required to secure appointments. Deposits are from $50-$100 and can either be paid in cash or through details we send you when booking in.
Deposits are NON REFUNDABLE however, they can be put towards future appointments if we receive a minimum of 72-hours notice of rescheduling or cancellation.
If the deposit is not paid for within one week of your booking you risk being booked over
Can I come in for a consult?
You are welcome to come in for a consult! If you are getting an intricate piece, a cover/fix up or you just want to ensure you can communicate exactly why you are after we urge you to come in and have a chat with one of our artists.
Consults are free and can be conducted Tuesday-Sunday between 1pm-7pm. If you would like a consult with a specific artist we recommend you contact us to organise booking.
I’m undecided about the placement of my tattoo. Can I decide on the day?
Not sure about the placement, no worries. For smaller tattoos we are flexible on the placement. It can be decided on the day with your artist.
For large tattoos however, a more concrete placement will need to be given ahead of the appointment time. If you change your mind in the days leading up to your booking, please give your artist as much notice as possible.
Please be advised that some placements such as the ribs, hands or feet, may affect the final price of the tattoo.
Do you do cover ups?
We can do cover ups however it heavily depends on what is being covered up. We highly suggest you come in and have a chat with one of our artists as we often need to see what we will be covering. Please keep in mind in some cases the options are limited.
Do you do finger/hand tattoos?
We can do finger/hand tattoos however tattoos on these areas tend to fade a lot easier than other tattoo placements. We recommend rethinking placement but if you are set on getting the tattoo on your hands or fingers we can do it for you.
Do I have to be over 18 to be tattooed?
All individuals who are over 16 but under 18 are able to get tattooed at our studio however they will need consent from a parent or legal guardian. Additionally, on the day of the tattoo the parent or guardian will need to attend and fill out paperwork on your behalf. Both people will need to bring a valid form of photo ID. Paperwork and ID must be sighted in person.
Do you have parking?
Around the back of our building we have parking available. There is a driveway just past the bus stop where parking can be accessed.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes we do! Please come into our studio or contact us to organise purchasing a gift voucher.
Gift vouchers are NON-REFUNDABLE and are NOT CASH REDEEMABLE.
Do you provide numbing cream?
Unfortunately we do not provide or sell numbing cream. You are welcome to use it and we recommend the brand Tattoo Numbing Co. When using numbing cream apply it to the area at least an hour before your booking and ensure you wrap the area in cling wrap as most creams require heat to activate. If you are sitting for a longer session and would like to reapply you are welcome to do so.
Anything I need to know before my booking?
- We are CASH ONLY
- Please bring your photo ID with you if it is your first time at our studio (Service NSW is accepted)
- Have something to eat before your booking to prevent lightheadedness or fainting
- Please do not take blood thinners before your booking. Consult your doctor if necessary.
