How the $120 behaves

One flat figure, whatever the piece. It is not a booking fee: it is the first $120 of the tattoo.

At booking

You pay $120

Taken in the studio or through a payment link from our own domain. We will never ask for card details over email or Instagram.

Before the day

It pays for drawing

Drawing happens in the week before your session, whether or not you sit. That is what the deposit covers.

More than 72 hours

It moves with you

Reschedule once for free and the deposit follows to the new date.

Inside 72 hours

It is forfeited

That chair cannot be filled at short notice, and the drawing is already done. A new deposit books a new date.

On the day

It comes off the total

You pay the balance only. Cash, card, or bank transfer before you leave.

Money questions

Asked at almost every consult

A flat $120, taken when you book the session and applied to the final price of the piece. It covers drawing time, which happens before you sit.

No. Forty minutes with the artist, references, placement and an honest price band, at no cost and with nothing owed at the end of it.

You pay what we quoted. A session running twenty minutes over is our problem, not a line on your bill.

Yes. Multi session work is paid per sitting, so a back piece is never one large invoice at the end.

The first touch up inside twelve months is free. After that it is charged at the minimum, and we will tell you honestly whether it needs one.

Consults open

Bring us a rough idea. We will draw the rest.

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.
