FAQ

New clients start with the tattoo request form — it routes you to the right artist, and they take it from there: consult, deposit, date.

We work primarily by appointment. Walk-ins are by chance — if an artist has an opening, we'll do our best to fit you in. The request form is the most reliable way to get on the books.

You must be 18 or older with valid government-issued photo ID. Oregon does not allow tattooing of minors, even with parental consent.

Pricing depends on size, placement, detail, and the artist. After you submit a request, your artist will discuss pricing at your consult. A deposit is typically required to book and goes toward the cost of your tattoo.

Everyone's pain tolerance is different. Most clients describe it as manageable discomfort — some spots (ribs, hands, feet, neck) are more sensitive than others (outer arm, thigh, calf). Your artist will work with you on breaks and pacing.

Sleep well, eat a solid meal beforehand, and stay hydrated. Skip alcohol for 24 hours before your session — it thins the blood. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the placement area.
