  • Video recording/photos or make a video call allowed?
    We DO NOT ALLOW any form of video recording/snapchat or any form of video communication during yours or another person's appointment. Not only is it rude to be on the phone when the piercer or artist is giving their undivided attention to you, but we also value ours, yours, and our other client's privacy as well. There are questions that get asked/procedures done here everyday, which make it inappropriate to have the phone out recording at any given time. Thank you for your cooperation in making our shop comfortable for everyone!

  • How much for a medium size tattoo?
    We have no idea what size a small, medium or large tattoo is due to the fact that everyone's interpretation of small, medium or large is subject to different interpretation. If you ask us this question we will be unable to give you a price and a consultation appt will need set up to price it for you.
  • How much for a tattoo the size of the picture sent?
    Consider that everyone's phone, tablet, computer screen is a different size. And, every picture sent that might be saved from online is a different size based on pixels, file size of the .png, .jpeg, .tiff format etc. Please tell us the size in inches roughly of the tattoo design you want. If not sure, please set up a consultation appointment with us for pricing. We cannot give you a price if you ask us this question.
  • Do you do custom tattoos and designs?
    YES! We recommend setting up a consultation appointment to go over cover ups, sleeves and customized designs. Serious inquiries only! We do charge a "good faith" deposit, which will go toward tattoo if you set the appointment up after your consult. See next question for more info.
  • How much for a tattoo consultation?
    Consultations are $25. This is a "good faith" deposit that goes toward tattoo price as long as you set up the tattoo appointment following finishing up consultation. If additional deposit is not made day of the consultation to set up tattoo appointment for future date, $25 deposit will not be credited toward tattoo, instead it paid for artist's time. Text any picture references to 484-894-8194 before the consult appointment so we can create a digital folder to look at while consulting over the phone with you. Expect appt to take up to, but not more than 30 min. Consultations are currently done via a phone call, with text message to follow of the design concept. Additional $25-125 deposit is expected to be paid at the end of the consultation once the design is agreed upon to get your tattoo appointment set up.
  • How do I set up a tattoo appointment?
    You can text or call us to get a price. Please do not "ask for a friend," this prolongs us getting a price or appointment for you.

Anyone under 18 your parent must call us to set up an appt.

  • If I'm under age 18 can my relative/friend take me to my appt?
    No. That is against state law. State law requires your parent or legal guardian be physically present during the procedure. You will lose your deposit and we will not render services to you for wasting our time not being responsible enough to bring your parent and proper ids.
  • Can I get a tattoo while pregnant/nursing or on any medications?
    The short answer, NO. This is a grey area for you to consult with your doctor. See POLICIES about deposits and rescheduling. If you have any type of medical condition, immune system disorder, epilepsy, or on blood thinners, always consult with your doctor first before contacting us for an appointment to avoid problems.
  • Can I bring my 4 year old to my appointment?
    NO YOUNG CHILDREN IN OUR STUDIO! The only exception we make is when a child or infant is here to get their ears pierced and they are with their parent/legal guardian.​ If you bring young children to your tattoo or piercing appointment without another adult to watch them, you will LOSE YOUR DEPOSIT and will be refused services. We cannot stress this enough. Please plan accordingly!
  • If I get a verbal price/deal from you, price guaranteed?
    If the price is not in WRITTEN FORM; by text message or stamped consult sheet from us; we WILL NOT honor it. Absolutely no exceptions EVER made. Texted/consult sheet price given is good for 6 months. Prices subject to change over time. All sales final.
  • Do you do military or any other discounts?
    We do not. Our business model allows us to keep our prices fair for everyone. We are a services based business, and we do not believe a skilled service performed by an artist should be discounted.

    Up to date info on pricing info is listed in our PIERCINGS section you can click on at our HOME page.
  • Can you pierce with silver or plastic if I am allergic to certain metals?
    We get this question a lot. What most people are really trying to ask is, "Can we pierce with titanium, or solid gold options," because of a nickel sensitivity diagnosed by a doctor, or they just self diagnosed themselves. We pierce with surgical stainless steel with our base piercing prices listed. Titanium or solid 14k and 18k gold options are available at additional cost. We will not pierce with anything else and we will not pierce with jewelry you brought into shop either. Shop policy.
  • Do you have age restrictions on piercings?
    Yes! All info is in our PIERCINGS section on our HOME page of website. We consider rate of growth, which significantly increases the risk of jewelry migration and permanent scarring and other factors with certain piercings, and explain that to each client the best we can.

    Yes. We will install/change out body jewelry only if purchased from our shop same day. Please be mindful that new piercings need time to heal and swelling must subside before we can change out your jewelry.
  • What is your policy on piercings?
    Every piercing will have different results based on anatomy, health of client, age, occupational hazards to consider, etc and how well aftercare and cleaning is followed. Communication and not skipping on aftercare regimine is key in keeping your piercing until fully healed. We offer deep cleanings for a fee if any issues or concerns arise. More info in PIERCINGS section of HOME page of website.
  • Do you offer dimple, dermal, or genital piercings?"
    No. We stick to the basics to keep our prices where they are at. We do not offer dimple, dermal, or genital piercings here. ***See list of piercings we offer in the piercings section of our website.
  • Why do you charge more for an industrial and less for other piercings?
    The industrial bar is much larger than the rest of piercing jewelry. Cost of materials.
  • What is your policy on child earlobe piercings?
    If a child chooses to not cooperate for piercing after 10 minutes of us trying, there are no refunds/credits given due to time set aside, setup and sterilization costs to materials and tools. We will not push a child to get a piercing, 10 minutes is more than enough time to work with and give them the chance to be ready, if they refuse or cannot cooperate, we call it. Please do not try to force them! You're always welcome to set up another appt in the future with a new deposit if they change their mind! This keeps our prices down to our current $80 for 2, $50 for one piercing deal with the complimentary aftercare product we offer to all clients. NO EXCEPTIONS!
  • Do you use a piercing gun?
    No. We pierce with needle and cork technique, it is quick, does not cause so much trauma to the area that a piercing gun does. Not to mention everything is sterilized.

    No. We pierce only with jewelry we have in shop or we can custom order jewelry for you. We cannot pierce with jewelry you previously had been pierced with either. No exceptions.
  • How do I set up a microblading appointment?
    When texting/inquiring, please let us know how soon of an appointment. If you have existing permanent makeup, please text a picture in well lit area to determine if you need removal sessions to lighten, something we offer in our shop if needed. Microblading cannot be done until removal sessions are done if existing ink has not significantly faded enough or there are layers of camouflage ink embeded.
  • You're a tattoo shop, you do tattoo removal?
    YES! This has opened up the possibilities for better cover up designs, or full removal if you do not want a cover up, or are entering the military or other type of occupation that restricts tattoos. We offer PhiRemoval, a new non-laser, non-surgical, VERY effective tattoo removal option. It offers faster healing, immediate results can be seen during the session and it removes ALL inks, unlike laser removal where some colors can be stubborn including titanium dioxide (white ink). You can have a session done every 3-8 weeks depending on the technique and your skin fitzpatrick type and other factors to go over. Phiremoval can be performed to remove permanent makeup or microblading as well! This type of removal can actually be done on a fresh tattoo for faster removal of the ink! Click on our removal section on our HOME page of website for more info! Offering this specialized technique since 2018!

  • Do you have a touch up policy on tattoos?
    Touch ups are free provided they are scheduled with your next tattoo appt because we are already set up. Please advise us in advance when making an appt so we can set enough time aside. Minimum charge of $100 if touch up is scheduled by itself, due to set up and sterilization costs. Touch ups of other artists work are not free. NOTICE! We are shop that DOES NOT include free touch ups (scheduled by themself) in our pricing model. Not everyone needs a touch up. Currently we tend to charge $500-550 for most 4 hr sessions. Keep in mind we aren't "by the hour" this is a generalized price by piece and by session with how we work. We like to offer a more relaxed environment to concentrate on your piece and get to know you and what you want in your piece. Our rate would go to $650+ if we were to include free touch ups in pricing. Keep that in mind.
