Questions
Ranges, deposits, and paying across sessions.
Why not a price over the phone?
Size, placement, and how much drawing the piece needs all change the number. Ranges on this page are a guide. The artist confirms at your consult.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes, $100–$200 when you book a session. It goes toward the tattoo. See shop policies.
Can I pay across sessions?
Large work is billed per session, so you pay as you go. We do not offer formal financing.
