Frequently asked questions or things you should know!
Q: What days do you work, typically?
A: I work Wednesdays 10am-6pm, Thursday & Friday 10am-3pm and Saturdays 11:30am-6pm.
Q: Do I book directly through you or the shop?
A: Booking and deposits are done through the front desk, however, they will not give you an appointment without speaking to me first. When you fill out a booking form, I will get back to you and give you a time frame to call and book out for. When you give them this info, they will find you my first available appointment for that time frame. At that time, you will also be asked to leave a deposit over the phone. You may do so in person, but they will not hold your appointment unless a deposit is made.
Q: I forgot my appointment date/time! What should I do?
A: You may call/text the shop during business hours and they will have your appointment on file.
Q: Do you charge by piece or by the hour?
A: Our shop hourly rate is $170/hour and our minimum is $80. My flash pieces are flat rate and will be discussed once claimed. I will give you a price quote for your tattoo via e-mail after you fill out the booking form.
Q: How can I get an estimate on a piece I’d like to have done?
A: When you get an email response, I will give you a time frame to call and schedule for. This is usually the best way to estimate how much your tattoo will cost. If it is a one hour time slot, it will be $170 or less. Two hours will be $340 or less. The time estimate will be a good representation of the maximum amount. I will never charge more than the time estimate you were given. And you will only be charged for the time you’re being tattooed (not arrival, signing in, breaks, etc).
Q: How do I book one of your flash pieces?
A: My available designs are on my Instagram story bubble under ‘availables’. If you see something you’d like, please e-mail me and we will go from there :)
Q: Do you send drawings before the appointment?
A: I generally draw the night before my appointments. I will not send a drawing through e-mail to you. That being said, I do have time set aside in your appointment to go over any minor changes/tweaks. If the design needs to be completely redrawn, I will have to reschedule your appointment for a later date.
Q: What styles do you do?
A: I typically gravitate toward traditional designs and fine line work. I do not do realism. My portfolio shows designs I typically specialize in. If your idea is something I do not feel comfortable executing, I will refer you to another artist who can better accommodate you. Cover up’s and re-works are taken at a case by case basis.
Q: Do you tattoo minors?
A: I will work with minors aged 16-17. I will not tattoo visible areas such as hands/neck/forearms/face/etc.
Q: What type of aftercare do you recommend?
A: I like to recommend my clients to use Recovery Derm as their aftercare. This is an adhesive bandage that stays on for multiple days and provides a maintenance-free solution to your typical aftercare routine. This method also ensures protection to your new tattoo. If you have sensitive skin or have reactions to adhesives, this may not be suitable for you. I provide verbal & written aftercare procedures with every client after they’ve been tattooed.
Q: Where is the shop located?
A: We are located at 6422 E Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. Please check the map below for more info :)
