Rates changed so you know the cost before you sit down.
You book a half day or a full day, not a running clock. You know what the work costs before the needle starts, instead of watching the meter while you sit. If the piece finishes inside the half day, the half day is what you booked and what you pay. That time was held for you.
It depends on the piece. Portraits are a full day almost every time. Size, placement and whether it's black and grey or color all feed into it. Half days suit outlining, re-stenciling and work that isn't realism. Sleeves can run as back-to-back days or be split across sessions, depending how fast you want it finished.
A deposit is required to book and is non-refundable. It comes off the price of your tattoo, on the final session if the piece runs to more than one. Full pricing is settled in person when you book.
No drop-in consultations. They're booked like any other appointment, so the person already in the chair keeps the time they paid for. Book one and you have the artist's full attention.
Still welcome. Day rates are for larger pieces. Anything small is priced on its own against the shop minimum. A quick tattoo doesn't need a day booked for it.
Fill in the request form for the artist you want, with as much detail as you have. A best guess is fine, and there's room at the end to say what you're unsure about. You'll go on their waitlist and be contacted to arrange the booking.
Walk-ins when the chairs are free, appointments for everything else. We're in Getzville, just north of Buffalo.
