What its actually like to get tattooed
1. Talk It Through
Every tattoo starts with a conversation. You can walk in or book ahead—we’ll go over your idea, placement, size, and what will actually work long-term. If you’re not 100% sure yet, we’ll help you figure it out.
2. Design & Planning
Your artist will either refine your idea or create something custom from scratch. We’ll go over everything before we start—no surprises when the stencil goes on.
3. Booking (If Needed)
Smaller pieces? We can usually do them same day. Larger work gets scheduled with a deposit that goes toward your tattoo.
4. The Tattoo
We’ll prep your skin, set everything up, and walk you through what’s happening. We keep things clean, organized, and straightforward so you can relax and focus on the tattoo—not what’s going on around you.
5. Aftercare
Before you leave, we’ll show you exactly how to take care of it. If you’ve got questions while it heals, you can always reach out—we don’t disappear after the appointment. We also have an aftercare page here explaining how to take care of your new tattoo.
