APPOINTMENTS

HOW TO SCHEDULE ONLINE -  Please contact the shop if you have any questions about the booking process.

1. Choose a tattooer. Only full-time tattooers use online booking at this time. Please view portfolios or the booking portal for availability.

2. Choose a date/time. Appointments can be scheduled up to 180 days in advance online.

3. If the date/time you want is unavailable:

• Scroll to the bottom of the booking screen to add your name to the waitlist. You will be notified via text and/or email if time becomes available for you to schedule online.

• You can also contact tattooers directly, as they may have additional time available.

4. A deposit is required for all appointments. 

   • Tattooers set their deposits & rates and online availability. Please view portfolios or the booking portal for more information.

• Deposits are non-refundable and will apply toward the cost of the session, if it is held as scheduled.

5. You will receive a confirmation via text message, as well as a reminder text prior to your appointment. 

   • Although the appointment texts are automated, can reply to the message(s) at any time if you have a question for your tattooer and they will get back to you as soon as possible.

• Deposits are non-refundable. Do not schedule until you know that your schedule and/or budget allows you to hold your session.

• If you make changes to the tattoo design, location and/or size, the price and time required to complete the tattoo may change. If there are other appointments scheduled and the time difference would be significantly more than originally planned for, you may have to split your session and/or reschedule.

• Scheduling an appointment guarantees you time for a specific day. While we do our best to stay on schedule, you may still have to wait when you arrive. 

• Please call the shop if you are running late to avoid being marked as a no-show. If you are going to be extremely late, we may have to cancel your appointment.

• If you have unexpected budget constraints, please discuss with your tattooer before starting your session.

WALK-INS 

If you are looking to get tattooed without an appointment, stop by the shop to get on the walk-in list for the day. 

• Walk-ins are not same-day appointments. Walk-ins are taken on a first-come, first-served basis, and not assigned to any specific time.

• There is no need to call first, we are at the shop during posted business hours to take walk-ins. Come in and take a look around, get a price quote, pick something off the wall, have something drawn up, bring your own idea, schedule an appointment for a later date, etc.

• Walk-ins are always welcome, but we can not guarantee availability. Some days there are multiple tattooers with walk-in availability, some days there is limited availability which is claimed quickly. 

• Walk-in availability does not guarantee immediate seating. If someone is already in the chair or waiting in line ahead of you, you will have to wait. Sometimes the wait is just a few minutes, sometimes it is a few hours. 

• You do not have to wait in the lobby, we can call you 15-20 minutes before your turn. HOWEVER, you are likely to get in quicker if you hang around, or go grab a bite and come back, as we go down the list in order and if someone isn't in the lobby and does not answer their phone, we move on to the next person.

APPOINTMENTS

If you want to guarantee yourself a spot on a specific day, you can swing by the shop, book an appointment online  or contact your tattooer directly. 

• Appointments require a non-refundable deposit (starting at $50), which applies toward the cost of the tattoo if the session is held as scheduled. Not all tattooers are available to book online, check portfolios.

• If you have an appointment, you have a guaranteed spot for the day. However, unless you book the first appointment of the day, you may have to wait when you arrive if your tattooer is finishing up on a client ahead of you.

• If you are running extremely late, we may have to cancel your appointment, depending on how many people are scheduled after you.

• If you make major changes to your design/size/placement at the time of the appointment, we may need to cut your session at the original quoted time and/or reschedule, depending on how many people are scheduled after you.
