Regardless of the medium, Nick is an artist first. Tattooing is a passion and it shows in every piece she creates. She does custom work, something that can be seen as a rarity in our local community.

Sure, finding inspiration for your tattoos on the internet is always a good idea for reference, but every time Nick puts ink to skin, she infuses her own signature style, ensuring a truly unique piece of artwork for every client.

Often we will have hours of work in drawing and preparing for a tattoo before you sit down in our chair. Deposits help to ensure you make it to your appointment and that we haven’t done hours of work for nothing, otherwise we could have given that spot to someone else.

Yes. Deposits are non-refundable and expire within one year if unused.

Our shop minimum is $150+tax. You might not realize it, but we go through nearly the same amount of very expensive supplies to do a tattoo the size of a quarter as we do for a tattoo the size of a softball.

When it comes to tattoos, you get what you pay for. Yes, there are plenty of people tattooing out there that will ink you cheap, and you'll be crying to a real artist to have it covered up. Look for quality and be willing to pay for it. NEVER haggle over the price of a tattoo. It is disrespectful to the artist. If you can't pay for quality, don't bother. This is not a bargain bin. It is a piece of art you will wear for life.

Having said that, if you have a budget always tell your artist in advance, and we’re pretty great at giving estimates! Our artists range from $160-200/hour+tax.

In order to book a tattoo, we require a non-refundable deposit of $200 which goes towards your finished piece.  Rescheduling is possible if necessary with a minimum of 48 hours notice.  Rescheduling without 48 hours notice will forfeit your deposit. 

Don’t be. If you’re late to your appointment it will throw our schedule off for the day, and you risk paying for that time as well.

Try not to be TOO early. We run a tight ship and each session is carefully booked to allow for preparation, consult and rest. Clients showing up hours in advance can throw things off in just the same way as being late for an appointment. We'll be here ready for you ... just be punctual!

Although rare, it does happen and it’s a terrible idea.  If you no-show we will keep your deposit. That means your tattoo, if you do get it, will cost you 150% of what it should have cost.

Although you can get a tattoo any time of the year, your skin gets a lot more abuse during the summer with swimming, tanning and just being exposed to the elements more. Winter time is really the best season to get a tattoo.

We do NOT offer free touch ups! Our artists are happy to retouch or rework pieces for their regular rates. Please note before you book that hand and finger tattoos naturally are subject to fall out, wear, and fading!

You must be 18 years of age with a valid, government-issued photo ID to get a tattoo. Some exceptions may be made for clients as young as 16 years of age with signed parental consent.

We require a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit to book and retain your appointment date and time, which comes off the price of your finished tattoo. The deposit goes towards the artist time drawing the tattoo as well as the materials used. Under no circumstances will deposits be refunded. 

Your deposit covers one round of changes/redrawing, if there is more than one redraw it will be an additional $50. When freehand drawing for a tattoo we charge $75 an hour instead of the full hourly rate of the artists. If you have an appointment and you cancel or don't use the drawing, your deposit is kept for the time spent on the drawing; and will not be refunded.
