FAQs

  • Yes, we take walk ins on a first come, first serve basis. When you come in, if we are available to do your tattoo at that moment we definitely will. If there is a wait, we will have you either seated at the shop until your turn, or give you a specific time we will be available for you to come back at. We do not reserve times over the phone for walk ins.

  • Typically a design that takes under 2 hours to draw, prep, and then tattoo is considered a walk in. A good frame of reference is something that is the size of your palm or smaller. Larger tattoos usually require more drawing and prep time beforehand and will need an appointment.

  • Our artist work independently and have preferred methods of booking. If you are trying to book with someone specific, please visit their portfolio page for their booking method. You may also come into the shop any Tuesday-Saturday to schedule appointments. We do not book appointments over the phone.

  • Price depends on a few factors such as size, style, black & grey vs color, and location on the body. Some tattoos can be priced by the piece while larger multi session tattoos may be priced at an hourly rate. Each artist set their own prices and rates and can give an estimate on cost in person or during a consult. We don’t quote prices over the phone.

  • Our shop minimum is $120.

  • We accept cash or card. We also have an ATM machine on the premise for customer convenience.

  • We do have gift cards available for purchase. At the moment gift cards are artist specific and any bought through them MUST be used with that artist. They cannot be transferred to another artist

  • No. The state of New Hampshire does not allow parental consent for tattooing minors. You must be 18+ years old to get a tattoo. We require all clients to show proof of age with an I.D.

  • Any government issued I.D. that has both your photo & date of birth on it. A Drivers license, non-driver state I.D., and passports are all acceptable forms. We DO NOT accept temporary paper I.D.’s, pictures of your I.D., a school or college I.D., or birth certificates.

  • We are an 18+ only establishment so children are not permitted inside the shop. Creating and receiving a tattoo is something that requires a lot of focus and attention. We are putting something permanent on you. Children can be very distracting to both our clients and the artists. We want the experience of getting tattooed to be enjoyable for everyone so we do not make any exceptions to this rule.

  • Your artist will verbally explain aftercare and/or provide you with aftercare instructions. We do not sell any type of aftercare products (soap, ointments, bandages etc…)
