What it
costs
You come in with an idea, a body area and a budget. We talk for 30 minutes, draw it up, then book the sessions. Expect three to six weeks between the consultation and the needle.
The last Saturday of the month, 11 AM to 7 PM. Ready-made designs, fixed price posted, first come first served. Sheets are posted on Instagram the Monday before.
Send us a flat photo, in daylight. We'll tell you honestly if it's coverable, if partial removal is needed first, or if it's better left alone.
From $100 to $500, valid two years, usable with the artist of your choice. The tattoo itself is never chosen on someone else's behalf.
From message
to healing
No needle touches your skin until you like the drawing. Here is how a custom project goes, from first message to healed skin.
- 01 The message Your idea, the body area, a rough size and two or three references. We answer within 48 hours.
- 02 The consultation Thirty minutes at the studio, free and with no obligation. We look at the area and talk style and budget.
- 03 The drawing and the deposit The artist draws your piece. The $100 deposit holds the date; it is applied to the last session.
- 04 The session and aftercare Six hours at most per session. You leave with written aftercare, and touch-ups are free for six months.
Nothing

Before you
sit down
Yes, but it's manageable and varies a lot by area. Ribs, sternum and inner arm are the worst; forearm and thigh are gentle. We take breaks whenever you ask.
A small design: one hour. A forearm: three to five hours. A full sleeve: 25 to 45 hours spread over several months. We don't do more than six hours per session.
Eat beforehand, sleep well, stay hydrated, no alcohol the night before. Wear loose clothes that give access to the area, and bring headphones — long sessions are long.
Protective film left on for three days, then gentle washing twice a day and a thin layer of ointment. No pools, hot tubs or direct sun for three weeks. Instructions are given to you in writing.
That's fine. Come in with a theme, a feeling, three images that speak to you — even if they don't match. That's where the artist's work begins.
Only on flash days. The rest of the time we work by appointment so as not to rush sessions in progress — but drop by to chat, the door is open.
