Frequently Asked Questions

There is no simple answer to this question. As a shop, we charge by the hour. There are many factors that go into determining the final price of a tattoo. The artist, the size of the area you are wanting tattooed, the intricacy of the patterns, your skin type, etc. Each of these things will play a role in deciding the final price. The best thing to do is to schedule a consultation to come in and speak to an artist directly so they can give you an estimated time frame of how long it will take to complete the piece you are wanting to get. You can call the shop directly to schedule a consultation.

Unfortunately, we do not create pieces for other artists to tattoo on you. We do, however, have trusted affiliates around the world. Send us an email to inquire about contacting them.

We are happy to take inspiration from anything you bring in but we will not copy anything exactly. Tribal tattoos are sacred and usually specific to the person that receives it. If you copy a tribal tattoo, you may be wearing someone else’s life’s story on you. With that being said, PLEASE do not copy any of the artwork you see on our page! Each piece is uniquely designed for each client based off their life and ancestral background.

We say it all the time “Good tattoos aren’t cheap; Cheap tattoos aren’t good”. If you feel our prices are outside of your comfort zone, I assure you, you’ll end up paying more, in the long run, to cover up a bad tattoo or even get it removed. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work.
