The Experience
Consultations are free, clicking book now (below) will take you to our booking form. Our booking form saves you time by getting the basic questions out of the way first, then we reach out to talk about the smaller details. You can expect a response within 3 days.
We are an appointment focused shop, but if will take walk ins if we have time. If we are taking walk ins we will have a sign out front, or you can call 517-260- 8164 to see if we have any availability.
The Consultation
Appointments are only official after we receive a non refundable deposit through Cash, Card, Venmo, or PayPal. This goes towards your total for the tattoo, and holds your appointment date.
We have a 150$ minimum and a full day rate of 750$, everything is priced by the piece so there will be no surprises day of.
The Deposit and Cost
The Drawing
We do custom designs or your welcome to bring your own.
For custom pieces we decide the layout during the consult and do not show the design until the day of, but hold time to make adjustments if needed.
If you have a preferred style or layout, reference photos are helpful.
The Day Of
You should eat well, stay hydrated, don’t drink alcohol within 24 hours, and dress in black for your tattoo (I don’t want to ruin your clothes, and it helps me photograph)
Please don’t arrive more than 5 minutes early
For full day sessions we have one main break for lunch, and of course any the client may need.
We don’t recommend numbing agents, many of them do not work, all of them seem to irritate the skin and make it more difficult to tattoo. All of our supplies are meant to sooth the skin and ease pain.
The most important part of a Tattoo is how it heals, we will send you home with everything you need to take care of your fresh tattoo, explain how best to care for your tattoo, and send you a email just in case you forget any of the details
If you have any questions after the tattoo we encourage you to message us, and we love seeing healed pictures.
After Care
Cancellations
We require 24 hours notice for cancellations/rescheduling, so that we can try and fill your spot. If you reschedule the same week as your appointment you may be asked to put down another deposit. Less than 24 hours notice and a reschedule may not be possible and you may lose your deposit.
If we do not receive a message explaining absence and you do not show up for your appointment, you will lose your deposit and will not be invited back as a client.
