No, we don’t accept walk-ins because we are a private studio with only one dedicated tattoo station. This setup allows us to create an exclusive and comfortable experience for both the artist and the client. By working on an appointment-only basis, we ensure that every session is carefully planned, providing the time, focus, and personalized attention needed for the best possible tattoo experience.

To ensure the best tattoo experience, here are some important steps to prepare for your appointment:
‍
• Get a good night’s sleep – Being well-rested helps with pain tolerance.
• Eat a proper meal – Arrive with a full stomach to keep your blood sugar stable.
• Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water before your session.
• Avoid alcohol & blood thinners – Refrain from drinking alcohol or taking aspirin/ibuprofen 24 hours before your appointment, as they can thin your blood.
• Wear comfortable clothing – Choose loose-fitting clothes that allow easy access to the tattoo area.
• Moisturize your skin – Keeping your skin healthy and hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment can help with the tattooing process.
• Avoid sun exposure & tanning – Sunburned skin cannot be tattooed, so protect the area in advance.
• Discuss numbing cream beforehand – If you’re considering using numbing cream, please talk to your artist before your appointment. Some products can affect the skin and the tattooing process, so it’s important to get approval first.
• Bring the essentials – You may want to bring water, snacks, headphones, or a book to stay comfortable during longer sessions. However, we also provide snacks and drinks in case you need them.
• Follow your artist’s specific instructions – These are general guidelines, but your artist may have additional or different recommendations based on your design, placement, or skin type. Make sure to check with them if they have any special instructions for you.

Aftercare instructions can vary depending on the tattoo’s style, placement, and other factors. Because of this, it’s important to follow the specific aftercare guidelines given by your artist to ensure the best healing process. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to them directly!

We’re always excited to connect with talented tattoo artists who share our vision! Our studio focuses on creating tattoos that flow naturally with the unique shape and movement of the body. If your style aligns with this approach, we’d love to see your work!
