Rates & Policies

Real prices, quoted before we start.

Tattoo pricing depends on size, detail and placement — so we quote every piece in writing after a consultation. Here is exactly how our chair time is priced.

What We Offer

Everything from a first dot to a full back.

Custom design

Original artwork drawn for your body and placement. Free consultation, one revision round, drawing sent 48 hours ahead.

Included with every booking

Cover-ups & reworks

Old or blown-out work redesigned into something stronger. We photograph and quote in person, and tell you honestly if laser first is smarter.

From $200 · in-person quote

Flash & walk-ins

Monthly pre-drawn sheet at fixed sizes and prices, tattooed once then retired. Walk-in hours Fridays 11:00–18:00.

From $100 · no appointment

Touch-ups & repairs

Any piece we tattooed gets one free touch-up inside six months. Work from another studio is repaired at standard hourly rate.

Free within 6 months

Multi-session planning

Sleeves, back pieces and chest panels scheduled across sessions with a locked composition and a session-by-session quote.

$150 / hour · quoted

Consultation

Thirty minutes with the artist who will tattoo you — placement, scale, reference review and a written quote before you commit.

The Rate Card

Session pricing.

Prices below are minimums for chair time and include the drawn design, sterile setup and aftercare kit. Complex detail, colour or placement can push a piece into the next band — you'll always know before we start.

Deposit

$100 secures every appointment and comes straight off your final price. Non-refundable, transferable once with 48 hours notice.

Studio Policy

The rules that keep the studio good.

18+ only

Government-issued photo ID required on the day. No exceptions, no parental consent — Oregon law is clear on this.

48-hour reschedule

Move your appointment once with 48 hours notice and the deposit follows you. Inside that window, the deposit is forfeited.

Come prepared

Eat properly, sleep, skip alcohol for 24 hours, and arrive with clean, unbroken, unburnt skin. Dress for access to the placement.

No numbing creams

Topical anaesthetics change how skin takes ink. We don't use them and ask that you don't either — tell us if pain is a concern and we'll plan around it.

FAQ

Questions before the needle.
