Do you take walk-ins?
Yes! We do take walk-ins, however, it is recommended to call ahead and see if any artists are available. Walk-ins are typically pieces that are less than 3 inches and aren't super intricate as bigger, more complicated pieces require more forethought and time to prepare the design. However, if an artist has time, they may be able to accommodate your request for a more detailed piece.
How do I book an appointment?
Under the section titled "Meet the Artists," you can click the booking link under the artist of your choice. If you have no preference between the artists, you can fill out the no preference booking form. Or, you can look through each of the artists' galleries to see who might fit your ideas best. Please read the full terms and conditions prior to booking your appointment.
Do you have a shop minimum?
Yes. Our shop minimum is $125.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
Make sure you stay hydrated and eat before your appointment. It is also important to exfoliate and moisturize the skin. Try not to drink heavily the night before or take ibuprofen the morning of as they can lead to more bleeding during your appointment.
Can I see my design prior to my appointment?
We typically don't send out designs ahead of time. However, if you are getting a larger piece done, check with your artist, as they may be willing to go over it with you ahead of time. We also do not do day of large adjustments to a piece. When you come in, there will be time to make small adjustments to the piece your artist drew, however, making large adjustments and reworking the design will have to result in booking an appointment at a different time.
What is your cancellation policy?
If your appointment required a deposit, let us know at least 48 hours ahead of time or you will lose your deposit. You can reschedule one time without losing your deposit. Even if your appointment didn't require a deposit, please let us know as soon as possible.
Do you take deposits?
Deposits may be required for your appointment. We typically take deposits for larger pieces, but deposits are required on an individual artist's basis. The deposit is used to reserve your appointment time and cover a drawing fee for the artist. Deposits do not go toward the final price of the piece. If your piece requires a deposit and it is not received within 48 hours of your appointment time, the time slot is not reserved and can be given to another client.
