What to expect

Plan your visit.

Welcome to our studio, a private tattoo space created to feel cozy, calm, and comfortable from the moment you walk in. We're here to give every client a more personal experience with artists who truly care about the work, the space, and the people in it.

Your first visit

For your first visit, expect a relaxed, welcoming experience in a private setting designed to feel comfortable and personal. You'll be greeted by your artist, have time to go over details, ask questions, and settle in before your session begins. No crowded lobby, no chaos, just a space focused on you and your experience.

Aftercare

Your artist walks you through aftercare in detail at the end of your session, tailored to your tattoo and how your skin heals.

FAQ

Do I need a consultation before booking?
Not always. Smaller pieces can often be booked directly, while larger or custom projects may require a consultation first.
How much is the deposit?
Deposits vary by artist and project. Deposits secure your appointment and are applied toward the final cost of your tattoo.
Can I bring someone with me?
Absolutely. We understand appointments can feel more comfortable with support. Guests are welcome; we simply ask that everyone help us maintain a relaxed and respectful environment.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Get a good night's sleep, eat before your session, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol or substances before your appointment.
Can I use numbing cream?
Absolutely. We partner with Proper Aftercare products and offer Proper numbing upon request to help make your experience more comfortable. Let your artist know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly.

Your artist will provide detailed aftercare instructions specific to your tattoo and healing needs.
