FAQ
How do deposits work if I’m traveling in?
Same as anyone else — some bookings need a deposit to hold the slot. That shows up during Square checkout, or we’ll tell you when we lock the day. If your travel plans shift, call the shop as early as you can so we can move things around.
I’m a first-timer coming from out of town. Is that okay?
Yes. First tattoos are welcome. Give yourself extra time so you’re not rushing the drive or the appointment. Eat, hydrate, bring ID and references if you have them, and tell your artist it’s your first. We’ll walk you through it.
