A few common questions

The details,
made clear.

Ask about your idea
Does a requested time confirm my appointment?+

No. A requested date and time are preferences. The studio must confirm availability and the appointment details with you.

How does the tattoo deposit work?+

After the studio confirms your tattoo session, it will share the deposit amount, payment method and rescheduling terms. Tattoo deposits are applied to the tattoo’s final cost. Online payment is not active in this preview.

Can I ask for a style not listed here?+

Yes. The style list is a starting point. Describe your references and the studio can discuss whether the idea is a good fit.

What should I include in my request?+

A short description, placement, approximate size, preferred timing and any references can help the studio understand what you'd like.

Do I need a finished design before I reach out?+

No. A subject, rough idea or a few references are enough to begin. You can discuss the direction, scale and placement with the studio.

Can I request a cover-up or rework?+

Yes. Choose “Large cover-up or rework” in the project catalog and describe the existing tattoo. Whether a cover-up is suitable depends on the current ink and the new design.

Can a large tattoo be planned across more than one session?+

Some larger projects may be planned in stages. Share the full idea and approximate size so the studio can discuss a suitable approach and timing.

Are the project catalog images exact design or placement examples?+

They are visual references for project scale and placement. Your design and exact placement are planned around your idea and the area you choose.

What if my project does not fit a listed category?+

Choose “Another large custom piece” or describe your idea in the request. The catalog is a starting point, not a limit on what you can ask about.

Can I share inspiration images with my request?+

Yes. References can help explain the subject, mood, composition or details you like. You can also describe what you would like to change or make your own.
