FAQs
1) Q: Does getting a tattoo or body piercing hurt?
A: Yes, but it’s not unbearable. A skilled professional should be able to perform a procedure quickly with a minimal amount of pain/discomfort.
2) Q: How much does a tattoo cost?
A: All of our artists charge based on an hourly rate. In other words: the cost of your tattoo will be dependent on how long it takes to complete. Size, placement, and design are all factors in the amount of time it’s going to take. Larger tattoos, such as sleeves and backpieces, require multiple appointments and many many hours of work.
3) Q: Do I need to speak directly to the artists before scheduling an appointment?
A: No. Generally when our artists are at the studio they are either working on a client or are getting ready for their next appointment, so they may not be available to stop and discuss what you would like to have done.
Not to worry, we have well trained, full time counter staff available to help you work on ideas and set appointments.
If the counter staff thinks it will be necessary for you to meet with the artist before starting your tattoo, they will schedule a consultation appointment for you.
4) Q: What forms of payment are accepted?
A: Cash is always preferred, but we do accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. We do not accept American Express or Checks.
5) Q: Is it appropriate to tip?
A: Tipping is never expected, but always appreciated.
6)Q: Why is your body jewelry more expensive than other studios?
A: Not all jewelry is created equal.
Many studios choose to sell inexpensive jewelry that is mass-produced overseas and made of inferior materials which are not suitable to be worn in the human body.
We only stock the highest quality jewelry available, items that we would be comfortable wearing in our own bodies.
Jewelry made of high quality materials, such as implant grade metals with internal threading, are more expensive to manufacture, which is why it costs more.
Lifetime warranties, better comfort, less problems during the initial healing of a new piercing, and less likelihood of having adverse reactions to the jewelry material are just some of the benefits of good quality jewelry and we think you’re worth it.
