Before you come in
How old do you have to be to get tattooed?
You must be 18 or older. 16- and 17-year-olds can be tattooed with a legal guardian present and a notarized minor consent form. Everyone needs a state-issued ID.
Do you take walk-ins?
Brandon takes walk-ins when his chair is free. Bryan and Ron work by appointment. Call ahead to check who’s in. Bigger pieces usually need a consultation first.
Is a deposit required?
Yes for custom and larger work. Deposits start at $100 and go up with the size of the tattoo, and all of it goes toward the final cost. It is refundable if you give advance notice to reschedule or cancel. A no-call or no-show forfeits it.
How much will my tattoo cost?
Each artist sets their own price based on size, placement, color and detail. The shop minimum is $80. Smaller tattoos can usually be quoted up front; larger or more complex work is priced at the artist’s hourly rate.
