In the state of Wisconsin you must be 18 with a photo ID in order to get tattooed, regardless of parental consent. No one under the age of 18 is able to be tattooed at our studio. No exceptions.

Each of our artists determines their own minimum, ranging from $100-$200. Our hourly rates also range from $125-$200+ per hour.

For a custom piece we do recommend an appointment. However, we do offer Walk-In availability Mon, Tues, Fri, and Sat from 12-7! Follow this link to get on our Walk-In list!

If you don’t know which artist you want to work with, please take a look at their portfolios to get a better idea of the work we each do and reach out to the artist directly for a consultation.

There is no charge for consultations but they are a very important part of the process. This gives us time to discuss your tattoo, placement, details, budget, etc. Not all tattoos need an extensive consult, but they are essential for large projects.

Sometimes a tattoo needs a little more attention. Sometimes things heal rougher than we’d like. That is why we offer a free touch-up session within one year of finishing the tattoo on the majority of our work!

This is to address anything that didn’t heal well or any additional buttoning up your tattoo may require. This does not include changes or additions to the tattoo. Additionally, cover-up tattoos may require a second session to fully cover the old tattoo. This is normal and considered part of the actual work and not a touch-up.

Examples of things included in a touch-up:

Fixing areas that healed rough

Addressing any color or line fall-out

Dialing up details that healed soft.

Examples of things NOT included:

Major color changes

Adding additional parts to the tattoo

Additional passes required for a cover-up

All touch-ups are done ONLY by the artist that did the original tattoo.

We understand that sometimes life happens and you aren’t able to make it in within the one year deadline so, at our discretion, we may still be willing to do a touch-up on your tattoo. Please get in touch and we will go from there. This covers out-of-towners, military, etc. If you come in 3 years later and you’ve been living in the sun, then no, your touch-up isn’t included!

EXCEPTIONS TO TOUCH-UP POLICY

Hand / finger / high wear areas receive one free touch-up. Any touch-ups required beyond that are at the discretion of the artist

A tattoo is a physically stressful thing for your body to endure so a little preparation will go a long way in ensuring a positive experience! We tell clients to treat your tattoo like you are running a 10k that day so:

Be well rested. Getting tattooed while sleep deprived hurts more and increases the chances of a poor heal.

Be well hydrated. We really underestimate how much being hydrated can help us!

Eat something before coming in and bring a snack. Drops in blood sugar can increase chances of passing out. Have a real meal, but do not overeat.

Do not drink alcohol the night before. Drinking interferes with sleep and also thins the blood.

Wear comfortable clothing that you aren’t afraid of getting ruined. Ink sometimes gets places it shouldn’t!

Bring something to distract yourself. A book, a tablet, etc. If you are planning on watching a movie or listening to music BRING HEADPHONES!

While we will allow one person into the booth with the client, we generally discourage you from bringing an entourage. Our shop fills up really fast and if you bring half a dozen people with you, it can get a little chaotic. Honestly, most people find that they do much better getting tattoo by themselves.

NOPE! Get on our Walk-In list here! We offer Walk-Ins Tues, Wed, Fri, and Sat from 12-7!
