  • HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST?
    We appreciate your understanding that we cannot provide a total price for your tattoo as it largely depends on your individual needs and preferences. At our studio, we charge $200 per hour (per person). The total cost will depend on how comfortably you can remain still during your session. The more still you are, the quicker the artist can work to ensure your lines are straight and even. Conversely, if you move around, it may take a bit longer to complete your tattoo.
  • DO YOU DO WALK INS?
    Yes we do walk-ins! This will depend on if an artist is available depending on the type of tattoo you are wanting.
  • DO I HAVE TO PAY A DEPOSIT?
    We do not require a deposit to confirm your appointment; however, if you wish to secure your booking with a deposit, we kindly ask that you visit our studio to make a cash deposit of $200. This amount covers one hour of tattooing and will be applied to your total cost at the conclusion of your session. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
  • DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR A CONSULTATION?
    Consultations are offered free of charge. If you would like to have a discussion about your ideas before your tattoo appointment, feel free to visit our studio during open hours without an appointment. Alternatively, you can book a consultation by phone, in person, via email, through our online booking service, or on any of our social media platforms. We look forward to hearing your ideas!
  • WHAT SHOULD I DO TO PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
    We kindly ask that you arrive on time for your appointment. If you find yourself running late, please call us at +64 4 550 4452 and let us know your estimated arrival time. We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise. To ensure a comfortable experience, we recommend getting a good night’s sleep and having a substantial meal before your tattoo session. Please refrain from shaving the area to be tattooed, as this may cause irritation that could affect the outcome of your tattoo. If you wish to wax, we advise doing so at least three days prior to your appointment. Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you for your session!
  • HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET A TATTOO?

You will both need to fill out a parental consent form and provide valid photo identification (passport, school id, birth certificate).
