FAQ

Yes! Depending on the intricacy and scale of the project, an available artist may be able to accommodate same day appointments. If you don’t have a specific artist in mind, feel free to stop by — walk-ins are handled on a first-come, first-served basis, so wait times may vary depending on how busy the studio is. We recommend calling ahead on the day you plan to visit to check availability. If you prefer a specific artist, time, or day, booking an appointment in advance is always your best option.

Our shop minimum is $200. Tattoos approximately the size of a quarter or smaller may be eligible for a discount at the discretion of the artist. Please note that discounts are not guaranteed and are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

No, we only offer tattoo services at our shop. We do not provide any piercing services or sell body jewelry.

There is street parking along Lambert Rd. You may also park at the lots on either side of our building, or across the street where the meat market is.

Under California law, tattoos are not allowed for anyone under 18 — no exceptions. Parental consent does not override this legal restriction.

You may visit the BOOKINGS section of this website. Each submission is carefully considered based on those who share the values of the artist’s work. You may also call the shop to see if you’re able to book with your preferred artist in person. We are thankful of every inquiry, however not all projects are accepted.

Please arrive on time and wear comfortable, appropriate clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. Get a full night’s rest before your appointment and eat a healthy meal 2–4 hours prior. Bring water to stay hydrated, especially for longer sessions — the more comfortable you are, the smoother the experience. Do not arrive intoxicated, high, or under the influence of medication. Avoid heavy drinking the day before. If you’re visibly impaired, your appointment will be canceled and your deposit will be forfeited. A valid state or government-issued ID is required for all tattoos. You're welcome to bring one guest for support, but no additional guests are allowed.

For safety and comfort, no one under 18 is permitted inside the tattoo studio — this includes babies, children, and minors. Tattoo sessions require full focus from both the artist and client, and children can be a significant distraction. Please note that as an adult-only environment, the studio may contain content such as adult language or partial nudity that is not appropriate for minors. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

You’re welcome to bring one guest for support, but no more than one is allowed. Additional guests can be distracting to both artists and other clients. If you bring a guest, please note that tattoo sessions can last several hours, and your guest should be prepared to wait patiently. Any disruptive or distracting behavior will result in the guest being asked to leave.

Every piece is as different as every human body, and the design details for specific individuals differ wildly. According to a client's specific project and once all the details and references regarding your piece have been provided to us through our BOOKINGS form, you will receive a reply via e-mail, or you may visit the shop in person to receive a quote. We do not give quotes over the phone.

We do not sell designs to individual requests. Due to the hands-on nature of each piece, the designs that are created are apart of a collaborative process that involves that specific client alone. Designs are done to tailor and meet the needs of each situation and individual client. The design produced by the artist remains their intellectual property.

Out of respect for all clients, we do not adjust or swap scheduled appointments. Each tattoo project is given equal time, focus, and care — a principle reflected in our structured scheduling process. This ensures consistency and quality across every session, for every individual. We kindly ask that you refrain from requesting to rush or move your appointment due to excitement or anxiousness. Trust the process — your time will come, and it will be worth the wait.

We encourage our clients to only leave a deposit once you are confident and secure with your tattoo idea. Please provide all necessary details, and references for your piece(s) prior to booking your appointment! Please be advised that changing your design idea, and/or dramatically increasing the size of your piece may cause discrepancies with our scheduling calendar. If this occurs, your appointment may need to be rescheduled or postponed. In the event you decide to change your tattoo idea, we require that you notify us at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment. If we are notified any time thereafter or the day of your appointment, we will require a redesign fee of $200. This fee does not go towards the cost of your tattoo.

If for any reason you need to reschedule, we require a notice of at least 14 days prior to the date of your appointment. In the event of rescheduling, you have 3 days to commit to a new date otherwise the deposit will be forfeited. Any reschedules done the day before or day of scheduled appointment will forfeit the deposit. A new deposit is required to set a new appointment. We will not take in a scheduled client if they are more than 15 mins late (no exceptions!) If you decide to cancel or are a no show to your appointment, your deposit is forfeited. Multiple rescheduling attempts will result in the forfeiture of the original deposit, and a new deposit will be required to secure any future booking.
