BEFORE
THE INK.

Yes. We welcome walk-ins every day from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, subject to artist availability. If you’d like to work with a specific artist or have a custom tattoo in mind, we recommend booking an appointment in advance to guarantee your preferred date and time.

You can submit a request through our Appointments page, send us a message on Instagram, or call us directly at (714) 215-4596. Please include your tattoo idea, placement, approximate size, reference images, and your preferred artist if you have one.

Yes. Choose a preferred artist in the request form, or select “Match me with an artist” if you’d like us to recommend the best fit for your project.

We typically respond to appointment requests within one hour during business hours.

Yes. A deposit is required to secure your appointment: $100 for small and medium tattoos, or $200 per session for full-day appointments. Your deposit is credited toward the final cost of your tattoo. For example, if your tattoo costs $900 and you’ve paid a $200 deposit, you’ll only pay the remaining $700 on the day of your appointment.

Pricing depends on size, placement, detail, style and time. Sharing a realistic budget range helps the artist recommend the right scale and approach.

Absolutely. We offer both cover-ups and reworks, and we have artists who specialize in these types of projects. Send us clear, well-lit photos of your existing tattoo so we can evaluate the best design, size, and approach for your new piece.

Small refinements can be discussed with your artist. Major changes may require additional drawing time or a new appointment date.

Eat a full meal, stay hydrated, get a good night’s rest, and avoid alcohol before your appointment. Wear clean, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.

Send images that communicate the subject, mood, composition, or details you like. They serve as creative inspiration—not artwork to copy exactly.

Yes, you can use numbing cream, but we recommend checking with your artist first. Please note that the studio does not provide numbing cream. If you choose to use it, apply it approximately one hour before your appointment following the product’s instructions.

Please bring a valid photo ID, your preferred payment method, water, and anything your artist has requested. For longer sessions, we also recommend bringing a light snack and headphones if you’d like to relax during your appointment.

Your artist will provide aftercare instructions based on your tattoo and the type of bandage or covering used. Follow those instructions carefully, keep the area clean, and avoid picking or scratching your tattoo while it heals.

We generally recommend avoiding swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, and the gym for at least 1–2 weeks, or until your artist confirms it’s safe. Keeping your tattoo clean and minimizing friction during the healing process is essential for the best results.

Touch-up requests are evaluated by the artist after your tattoo has fully healed. Simply contact the studio with a clear photo so we can determine the next step. Please note that touch-ups for hand tattoos are not free. Tattoos on the hands tend to heal differently due to constant movement, frequent washing, and daily wear, which often causes the ink to fade faster. Because of this, additional touch-ups may be necessary and are charged separately. Your artist will always explain this before starting any hand tattoo.
