​
Booking an appointment:
​
-
The very first thing to do is to go through our artists' portfolios (portfolios). Select the artist that you like the most. Keep in mind that some of our artists are booked months out and some not so much. This can cause your appointment to be booked months out.
-
Go to our online form (online form). Take a moment to fill out our quick and easy form. Be sure to put in the artist that you chose. You can select “ANY ARTIST” if you want and we will select an artist that we feel is best for your particular tattoo. Finally, submit your form.
-
Once you have submitted the form, we will forward it to the appropriate artist. We are very busy and because of that sometimes it can take up to one week to get back to you. However we do respond to most within 72 hrs. If we have not responded back to you within 72 hrs and you would like to speed things up, you can call us at (850-481-0463) and we can re-forward your submission to an artist that can get to you quicker. The artists that are booked up farther out than others may take a little longer to respond.
-
The artist will either get all the info from you in an email from your submission or they will ask you to book a consultation. Consultations are absolutely the best and easiest way to get in with your artist. A consultation helps us make sure that you and the artist are on the same page and completely understand each other. If you are from out of town visiting on a certain date, the artist will do their best to get all the info from you via the emails, text or video chat. After that you will be asked to pay a non-refundable deposit that secures your appointment date. (Read our deposit policies). After all this, all you need to do is remember to show up for your appointment. You will get an automatic text reminder 72 hrs before your appointment date.
-
Now keep in mind, sometimes we have to reschedule appointments. Life gets in the way (funerals, health, and other issues we cannot control) . If this happens, we cannot help it and we extend our deepest apologies. All we ask is that you please bare with us if we have to reschedule you. We will do our best to make that process as painless as possible.
-
When you come for your appointment, you will be professionally greeted. You will have a form to fill out here at the shop. An ID is required by law to tattoo or pierce anyone. NO ID, NO SERVICE, no exceptions. Sometimes an artist will have all the artwork ready and will start on you quickly. Sometimes the artists does the artwork while you are here to help eliminate redrawing multiple times and to be able to properly size to the body part on you. How an artist starts and how long it takes for an artist to start varies widely between artists. It can be immediately or it can be up to 3 hours to start. If it takes some time, please bare with us. Also, some factors can play into the start time taking long. The most obvious reason being that the previous tattoo and client took longer to do than expected for various reasons; but if the previous client takes longer to complete, we will notify you with the expected time line. A lot of the time stuff happens in a tattoo session that causes this. We do our best though to finish every tattoo promptly.
-
After you have gotten your tattoo. Please follow our aftercare instructions. The artist will verbally tell you everything to do and our front desk should provide you with an aftercare sheet. If you are still unsure, we have full aftercare instructions here online (tattoo aftercare) (piercing aftercare). After this all you have to do is wait for your tattoo heal. Some heal in 4 to 6 days and some can take up to 3 weeks. It all depends on you, your body, the tattoo and the amount of tattooing you have received.
-
Sometimes a small touch up is needed but this is only roughly 5% of the time. If by chance you need one, please contact us and we will take care of that. Touch ups are free if done within a year from when the tattoo was done by the original artist. If a different artist or it is outside of a year mark, the artist may charge you for his or her time. Even touch ups need to be booked as an appointment. All the procedures above apply to book for a touch up. If you just happen to have your artists contact info, you can contact your artist directly.
-

We will do everything in our power to fix the issue. We want everyone to enjoy their visit with us and to love the work we do for them.
-
One last thing, we stay extremely booked up and backed up on emails and tattoos. Sometimes we have to pass on a tattoo. We just cannot get to everyone. We apologize in advance if we pass on your tattoo. We do reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Especially if they get rude with us, We hate that.
WALK INS:
