Not always — if you already know your design and placement, you can book straight into a session. First-timers or bigger pieces should start with the free consult.
Every booking requires a deposit to hold your slot. It's subtracted from the final price of your tattoo, so you're never paying extra — it just locks in your time.
Small pieces usually fit in an hour. Anything larger — detailed color, big linework, coverage — gets booked as a half or full day session so nobody's rushed.
Life happens — just give us as much notice as you can so we can offer your slot to someone else. Reach out through the contact page.
We'll send you home with full aftercare instructions and answer any questions during healing — keep it clean, moisturized, and out of the sun.
