FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS :

How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?

In the state of South Carolina, (current location of artist), you must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo.

Can I get my Neck or Face tattooed?

In the state of South Carolina it is illegal to tattoo the HEAD, NECK, or FACE. However outside of South Carolina, the artist will tattoo these parts of the body in cities where the local law allows it.

Do I need to bring my own design?

No, the artist prefers to do custom work, so just come with a general idea along with an open mind, and allow the artist to create something incredible specifically tailored for you!

Does my deposit go towards my tattoo?

Yes, your deposit secures your appointment with the artist and will be applied towards the cost of the tattoo. If you do not leave a deposit you do not have an appointment. *Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE* because the time that the artist invests into the design process cannot be returned.

How much does a sleeve cost?

It depends on how much detail is required, the more detailed the longer it will take. Anywhere from 25-35 hours is average, and this time is broken up into multiple sessions. Hourly rates will apply. Consultations will provide more clarity

How do I book an appointment?

Send an email with your design ideas. A response will usually be sent within 24-48 hours. If your design is approved, available dates and times will be sent to you. Once a date and time are chosen, a confirmation email will be sent with a request for your deposit.

Why would my idea not be approved?

Reasons your idea would not be approved are as follows: High volume of tattoo inquiries, if the artist declares they are not right for the project, if it’s a tattoo that cannot be covered, too much scarring, or it’s the exact replica of someone else’s work. Feel free to email for more information!
