FAQ

How do I make a booking?
There are a couple of ways you can book in. You can either book in over the counter, call or email. We strongly recommend and prefer that you come down in person for a quick consultation to discuss any possible problems, size and the placement of the tattoo. We also require a $100 deposit to secure and lock in your appointment.

Can I walk in?
Generally speaking, yes you can. We suggest you call first to work out available times.

What is the minimum price of a tattoo?
$100

But, mine is only really small. It will only take about 2 minutes?
Big or small we still have to set up and pull down the station, throw away everything that’s single use and sterilise everything else that is not.

How much will it cost?
The prices vary from tattoo to tattoo. Smaller sized tattoos we can usually give a price on the spot providing it’s ready to tattoo and doesn’t need any customizing. Bigger tattoo’s i.e. sleeves, chest plates and back pieces etc and larger custom stuff are usually run at an hourly rate of $140

Does it hurt?
Yes, but it’s bearable. The pain varies from person to person also the position of the tattoo also comes into play as some spots are more uncomfortable than others.

Can I get/use numbing cream?
You can but we strongly advise against for many technical reasons Do you have designs at your shop? Yes! We have hundreds of designs of just about everything!
