We do not tattoo minors, only 18+. Valid forms of identification to bring to your appointment include: Driver’s License, State ID, Passport, Government ID, Military ID, and Tribal ID cards. -How much does a tattoo cost? It depends! We do our best to give an estimate on each tattoo when scheduling, but feel free to ask questions about pricing if you have them! Our rates are based on artist experience, cost of supplies/PPE, and current demand. The cost of your tattoo includes: gratuity, an aftercare kit, access to our snack/drink area at the shop during your session, and a free touch-up within a year of the tattoo! -Do you offer piercings? We do not offer piercings at this time. However, we highly recommend Honest to Goodness, Decorum Piercing and Iris Piercing Studio in Grand Rapids for all of your piercing needs! -Do you offer gift cards? We do not offer gift cards. If you are interested in contributing to the cost of someone else’s tattoo, please reach out and we can discuss your options. -How can I pay for a tattoo? We prefer credit/debit card payments for tattoos. We do not often have a lot of change when it comes to paying with cash, so keep that in mind when getting ready to check out. Some of our artists' rates include gratuity, but if you would like to show your artist additional appreciation, everyone here enjoys snacks, trinkets, and plants! :-) -How do I schedule an appointment? Feel free to send an email to [email protected] with the following pieces of information: size/placement, reference photos, color preferences (black/grey, color, just linework, etc.), artist preference, budget (if applicable), and any other info you think we will need to know about your design. We ask everyone to be as thorough as possible about their ideas so we can ensure we can give you a proper time/price estimate. We will be sure to post about cancellations or random openings we may have that need to be filled on our Instagram page! -Do I need a consultation? If you are looking to start a sleeve, large scale project, cover-up, or highly detailed custom piece, we will likely want to set you up for a consultation with your preferred artist. This will help us to get a good idea of what you're looking for, as well as give you a chance to see our shop and see if we will be a good fit for you. Consultations are free, and generally take 15-30 minutes depending on how much information needs to be covered. -Do I need to put down a deposit? How does that work? It all depends on your artist! When scheduling an appointment, your artist will give clear instructions on if you will need to put down a deposit. This amount will go toward the total cost of your tattoo, and is non-refundable. In general, you can expect a deposit to run between $25-50 depending on the size/complexity of your tattoo. -What if I need to cancel my appointment? We get it! We understand that things happen and schedules change. We ask that you give us as much notice as possible when you know you need to reschedule so that we can try to fill your appointment time with another client (48 hours preferred!). If a client has a habit of regularly no-call no-showing or rescheduling last minute, we will require a $200 deposit when scheduling an appointment. |
