    House Rules

    How we work, and what to expect.

    Pricing

    Our artists service at their own quote prices/hourly rates and offer “by the piece” flash pricing. These prices can range from $80/hr for apprentice rates, up to $200/hr for our more senior artists.

    Our shop minimum is $125+GST for all tattoos done within 15 minutes or less, arm or leg placement (excluding high friction/difficult areas). This pricing is to our artists discretion so please reach out for all inquiries.

    Deposits

    Studio deposits are honoured within six months of the original appointment date. Each artist sets their own cancellation and reschedule terms, which can affect how deposits are handled. For specifics on your booking, contact your artist directly.

    Booking

    We book privately, by artist. There is no central booking system. Find the artist whose work speaks to you and reach out through their Instagram.

    Tattoo Aftercare Instructions

    Tattoo Aftercare instructions with Hypafix (second skin)

    • Allow Hypafix to remain on for 4 to 6 days.
    • It’s normal to see fluid build up under the Hypafix during the healing process of 4 to 6 days.
    • Remove Hypafix in shower by gently pulling towards you. Removal will be like pulling a 3M hanger strip off the wall. (Or refer to YouTube for more detail instructions).
    • Use non-scented/antibacterial soap to thoroughly wash the Tattoo.
    • Let the tattoo air dry for 10 minutes then lightly moisturize with non-scented lotion/Aquaphor.

    Tattoo Aftercare Instructions with Saran Wrap

    • Wash your hands with non-scented/antibacterial soap.
    • Remove the protective bandage, 4 to 6 hours after the initial wrap.
    • Using your clean hands, gently wash your tattoo thoroughly with an unscented soap.
    • Pat dry using a clean linen towel or a paper towel.
    • Let the tattoo air dry for 10 minutes then lightly moisturize with non-scented lotion/Aquaphor.
    • Repeat directions twice a day for up to five days.
    • After five days, as long as there is no scabbing, you may decrease washing to once a day. If you have any scabbing, DO NOT increase lotion use. It will make it worse.

    Make sure anything that could come in contact with your tattoo is clean. Do not:

    • DO NOT use Vaseline, petroleum jelly, A+D ointment, or anything greasy/oily unless directed otherwise.
    • DO NOT expose your new tattoo to direct sunlight for two weeks.
    • DO NOT submerge your tattoo in liquid for two weeks.
    • DO NOT get dirt or sand particles in your tattoo while it’s healing.
    • DO NOT PICK AT YOUR TATTOO WHILE IT IS HEALING.

    *If the tattoo appears excessively red and hot to the touch, or a greenish yellow fluid appears, seek medical attention immediately*
