Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do piercings?
We do not. Just high-quality custom tattoos.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Exact pricing must be determined by your artist in person and cannot be provided over the phone, via email, or through social media messages.
do you take walk-ins or do I need to make an appointment?
We welcome both walk-ins and appointments. However, some tattoos may require an appointment due to time constraints, artist availability, or design complexity. We’ll do our best to accommodate you!
What kind of tattoo designs can I choose from?
We have thousands of pre-made flash designs in the shop, but all of our artists specialize in custom work. If you have an idea, bring a rough sketch or reference image, and your artist can create a unique design for you.
How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?
Sorry, no one under 18—it's the law in Massachusetts. A state or government-issued ID is required.
DO YOU ACCEPT CARDS?
Yes we accept cards and cash. No personal checks/money orders.
How long does a tattoo take to heal and what can I expect during that time?
A fresh tattoo may feel like a sunburn for the first day or two. Within a few days, it may develop a layer of dry skin or light scabbing—this is completely normal. Avoid picking at scabs or scrubbing in the shower; let your tattoo heal naturally. Full healing typically takes about two weeks.
What do I need to do after I get a tattoo?
Your tattoo artist will provide specific aftercare instructions. In general, until your tattoo is fully healed, you should keep it protected from direct sunlight, and avoid prolonged exposure to water (such as swimming or soaking in bathtubs/hot tubs).
Does it hurt?
Everyone experiences pain differently, but in most cases, the anticipation is worse than the actual sensation.
Is it safe to get a tattoo?
Yes, getting a tattoo is safe. We sterilize all tools and equipment immediately after each tattoo, and all needles are single-use only. They come pre-sealed from the manufacturer and are opened in front of you for complete transparency.
DO YOU HAVE A SHOP MINIMUM?
Yes, our shop minimum is $100. This is for very small and simple tattoos.
