Do I get to see my design before the appointment?
Typically we do not send out the design unless it's a complex project. Designs are seen the day of the appointment and any changes can be made the same day. We want to avoid any miscommunication and make all changes in person if needed.

Touch ups are not uncommon however if you do require one, please contact us within 6 weeks. Highfade zones such as hands, feet, behind the ear is additional $50 for touch up within 8 weeks.
Does it hurt?
There is some mild discomfort based on the area in which you get it on. If you would like to use numbing cream please do not use any that contains emla. Apply 45min prior to your appointment.
What do I need to do the day of my appointment?
Make sure you come full. Bring a light snack and water. Make sure to clean/shave the area being worked. Wear loose clothing. Sit back relax and enjoy some Netflix!
How long is healing time and aftercare?
After getting a tattoo, the outer layer of skin (the part you can see) will typically heal within 2 to 3 weeks. While it may look and feel healed, and you may be tempted to slow down on the aftercare, it can take as long as 6 months for the skin below a tattoo to truly heal.
We will provide aftercare information after the session.
Can I bring a friend?
We do not allow spectators. We want to minimize the amount of bodies in our studio. If you have an appointment with your friend, both of you can come in at the same time.
Can I reschedule?
We allow a one time reschedule. Things happen in life and understand.
