FAQ

For piercing appointments, please give the studio a call. For all tattoo appointment inquiries, please go to the artist galleries and booking section. You can check out their work and read about their individual rates, what they like to do, etc. on their booking forms. Choose an artist and fill out that artist’s booking form. This does not guarantee you an appointment but acts as a consult to get started. If you have other questions or need some help deciding, please email [email protected].

The State of Maine requires you to be 18 to be tattooed, no exceptions here. Minors getting pierced require a legal guardian, birth certificate of minor and guardians ID must be present.

All artists’ minimums and hourly rates vary. You can find info about each artist’s rates on their booking form in the artist galleries and booking section. Piercing prices also vary depending on the piercing, jewelry chosen, etc. Please call for pricing or email Kyle with any piercing questions at [email protected]

Unfortunately, at this time, everything is by appointment. For piercings, please call the studio. Most of our tattoo artists are booked several months in advance, but give us a call or keep an eye on our social media pages to check availability, as occasionally, there are reschedules or cancellations.

Try not to come in on an empty stomach, have some snacks with you if it’s a long session, sugar helps. Try not to consume a lot of alcohol the night before, getting work done hung over is no fun, and it thins your blood, diluting our ink and making you bleed more. You are welcome to bring a friend, not 10 of them, as you are only allowed one person in the workstation with you. Please leave small children at home.

Yes, if it’s needed due to the natural healing process. If you pick or abuse it during the healing process, we can tell, and it won’t be free. There are no free touch ups on hands, feet, and fingers. The free touch up is available in the first 3 months after receiving your tattoo. As long as we are contacted within those 3 months, you are all set.
