Frequently Asked Questions
General
We welcome both walk-ins and appointments. While walk-ins are always welcome, making an appointment can ensure you get the artist and time slot you prefer.
You can make an appointment by calling us, visiting our shop in person, or filling out the appointment request form on our website. A deposit is required to secure your booking.
We require at least 48 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Deposits are non-refundable but can be transferred to a new appointment if sufficient notice is given.
Yes, we offer free consultations. During a consultation, you can discuss your ideas with an artist, get professional advice, and receive an estimated cost and time frame for your tattoo.
You must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo in our shop. Please bring a valid ID as proof of age.
Typically, we only tattoo fingers for clients who already have significant tattoo coverage. We warn our customers about finger tattoos beforehand to make them aware of the risks associated. Finger tattoos can be challenging to heal and maintain, so we want to ensure they are the right choice for you.
Tattooing fingers prove to be challenging because of the thin nature of the skin and the small area to work with. The healing process of finger tattoos can also be hindered by the constant movement of the area, exposure to bacteria, jewelry etc.
Finger Tattoos can fall out or blow out (fall out = ink disappears in areas / blow out = ink blurs or thickens in areas).
Fall-outs can be fixed with a touch up, but with a blow-out, nothing can be done unfortunately. It doesn’t happen to all tattoos on fingers, and is hard to predict.
We are happy to tattoo fingers if the above is taken into consideration.
Tattoo Design
Absolutely! We love working with custom designs. You can bring a printout, digital file, or a rough sketch, and our artists will help refine it if necessary.

Health & Safety
Our shop follows strict health and safety protocols. All equipment is sterilized using hospital-grade autoclaves, and we use single-use needles and inks. Our artists wear gloves and maintain a clean workspace at all times.
Pain levels vary depending on the tattoo's location and your personal pain tolerance. Our artists aim to make the experience as comfortable as possible and can provide advice on minimizing discomfort.
If you have any medical conditions such as blood disorders, diabetes, skin conditions, or if you are pregnant, please consult with your doctor before getting a tattoo and inform your artist.
Aftercare
