HOW TO BOOK a tattoo appointment
Each artist has a different style and manages their own schedule. With the exception of our apprentice, they each generally tend to choose projects that align with their own artistic style. Everyone works by appointment only (except on First Friday Flash days, when we take walk-ins for flash tattoos on a first-come first-served basis). Artists will need to be contacted directly to book an appointment or consultation. Browse the section below for a brief overview of our artists and their availability, and visit their page to view portfolios.

Tattoos are expensive for a multitude of reasons, and we understand that cost can be an important factor in deciding to get a tattoo.
Our hourly rates range between $150-$250/hr. We don’t outwardly disclose each artist’s rate because a higher or lower hourly rate may reflect an artist’s speed and technique, and does not necessarily mean they are more or less "expensive". Rather, the cost of a tattoo is largely determined by the design's size and complexity.
When it comes to custom work, every artist (not just at our shop) is going to have a different interpretation of what you want. Therefore, you’re likely to get a different quote from every artist for the same idea. So instead of shopping around for the lowest price, if you’re looking for quality artwork that suits your idea, it’s better to contact the artist you like and ask if they are able to work with your budget.
For a rough idea of average prices based on size...
2x3”-- $100-$250
4x6”-- $300-$750
1/2 sleeve-- $750-$2500
Full sleeve-- $2,000-$5,000
