Tattoo Appointments

The day has come to get that tattoo you’ve been thinking about for so long! But how to begin… hey, no sweat. Simply contact us with an Appointment Inquiry, including the requested details and reference images for what you have in mind, and if the design concept compliments our artists’ artistic styles and peaks our creative interests, we’ll be in touch to schedule a consult, get set with the deposit and book the date to breathe life into your new tattoo!

Basic Consultation is your opportunity to get basic tattoo questions answered. The Basic Consultation is complimentary. Due to COVID, we are not currently offering in-person Basic Consults – but we’re happy to answer your questions via email!

Design Consultation provides you the opportunity to work with Awen or Matt one on one to refine your specific design ideas and details prior to your tattoo application. A deposit is required to book a Design Consultation. The deposit is non-refundable and is credited to the final cost of your tattoo. Visa, Master Card, AmEx, Apple Pay and Cash are accepted. Deposits are payable online or in-studio, and are arranged through the artist you’re working with.
