Frequently Asked Questions

How old do you have to be to get tattooed? 18 years of age, with photo ID, no exceptions

Do you do custom work? Yes, we are a largely custom shop! We can draw up anything for you, with a deposit of course. Reference photos are appreciated by your artist, to get an idea of the style you're looking for. From there we can brainstorm and draw something special for you.

Are deposits refundable? No. Deposits are non-refundable for tattoo appointments. If you no-call no-show, then the tattoo artist keeps your deposit to compensate for their time being wasted and setup costs.

What is your shop minimum? Shop minimum is $80, but this can still vary between artists.

What are your hourly rates? Every artist here has a different hourly rate. Find an artist you like and talk to them about their pricing directly! The rate can even change based on the project at hand, placement, color, design etc. 

How do you pronounce Valkyrie?  Val-kur-ee

Are friends or family allowed to come to my appointment? YES! Bringing a friend or two is fine by us, seating may be limited, but we have extra chairs for people who want to hang out and watch. If anyone becomes unpleasant they will be asked to leave.

Are pets allowed in the shop? Absolutely no pets allowed in this environment, no matter how cute they are. We ask for cooperation from everyone in keeping this a sanitary environment. 

What should I do to prepare for my appointment? Moisturize the area to be tattooed for a few days before your appointment. No need to shave, we will do that for you at your appointment!  Also remember to eat a hardy meal and drink water before your appointment. 

Do you use Saniderm/Second Skin? Yes, all of our artists carry Second Skin aka Saniderm, aka Tegaderm! They may wrap your freshly completed tattoo with this adhesive bandage, or they may just use Saran wrap or another bandage. If you have a preference, just let us know!
