Custom work, done right
Tattoos
We think of a great tattoo as a process, not an event. It's a decision that lasts a lifetime, and it's one we treat with respect — from the first consultation to the final aftercare conversation.
Our process
All too often a tattoo is rushed to close a deal that day, when the client would have been far better served by letting the artist draw and perfect the design over a short period. Once it's in the skin, a mistake is difficult — sometimes impossible — to fix.
- Book a free consultation to talk through your idea, placement, and budget.
- Give the artist days or weeks to research and draw your custom piece.
- Meet for a follow-up to review the design and make changes.
- Schedule the session with plenty of time blocked for setup, the work, breaks, and cleanup.
- We discuss aftercare with you before you leave.
Before your appointment
- Hydrate well and eat beforehand.
- Show up on time and ready to lean on your artist's expertise.
- Don't drink alcohol or take blood thinners before your session.
- Bring at most one guest — and please, no children in the tattoo area.
- We will not tattoo anyone pregnant, under the influence, or seeking offensive content.
Clean, single-use, professional
Every setup is single-use and opened in front of you. Our space is held to a medical-grade standard — the same care we're known for across the studio.
Minors & what to bring
We tattoo ages 16+ only, with a parent/guardian and notarized consent form — the details are on our Forms & Waivers page. Planning your first visit? Our Plan Your Visit page covers what to bring and how booking works, and our Aftercare page shows exactly how we'll have you heal.
Questions
Do you do custom designs?
Yes — custom work is what we do best. Start with a free consultation and we'll draw something made just for you.
How should I prepare?
Hydrate, eat beforehand, skip alcohol and blood thinners, and arrive on time. Your artist will cover aftercare at the appointment.
