FAQ
Questions about Custom Tattoos
Helpful answers before you book, visit, order, or request more information.
Do I need a consultation for a custom tattoo?
For larger pieces, coverups, or ideas that are still taking shape, a consultation is usually the best first step. Smaller custom tattoos may be able to move directly into an appointment request.
What should I include when requesting a custom tattoo?
Include the idea, placement, approximate size, preferred artist if you have one, reference images, and any timeline notes. Current photos are helpful for coverups or reworks.
Can I choose the artist for my tattoo?
Yes. You can request a specific artist, or the studio can help match your idea to the artist whose style fits the piece best.
How is tattoo pricing decided?
Pricing depends on the artist, size, placement, detail, color, and time required. The studio can give better guidance once the request details are reviewed.
