None of this is here to catch you out. It is here so nothing on the day is a surprise, including the parts that are firm.
You must be 18 or over. Oregon law requires it and we check photo ID at every first appointment, regardless of how old you look or how many tattoos you already have. Parental consent does not change this and asking will not either.
Tell us at the consult about pregnancy, diabetes, blood thinners, heart conditions, epilepsy, keloid scarring or any skin condition on the area. None of these is automatically a no. All of them change how we plan the session, and finding out in the chair helps nobody.
No alcohol for 24 hours before your session. It thins your blood, which pushes ink out and makes the work harder to place. We will reschedule anybody who arrives intoxicated and the deposit is forfeited.
Six chairs and one waiting bench. These four keep the room workable for everybody in it.
Bring one person. Six chairs and a waiting bench does not stretch further, and it is somebody else’s appointment too.
Not in the tattoo area, at any age. It is a needle room and there is nowhere safe for them to wait.
We photograph most finished work. Say no and nothing goes up, now or later, and we will not ask twice.
Fifteen minutes is fine, message us. Past thirty the session usually becomes a shorter one, because the next chair is booked.
Your name, contact details, the consent and health form you sign, and the drawings we made for you. Nothing else, and nothing is shared with anybody.
Consent forms for seven years, because we are required to. Contact details until you ask us to remove them.
Only us, unless you agreed they can go on the site or Instagram. That agreement is per piece, not blanket.
Yes, apart from the consent forms we are legally required to hold. Ask at the desk or by email and it is done the same week.
No advertising trackers and no third party pixels. The booking form emails the studio and nothing else.
Consults run forty minutes and cost nothing. Come with references, a rough placement, and a budget range. You leave with a date, an artist, and a price band.
