The Tattoo Project

hourly rate? Hourly rates vary from artist to artist. Please come in for a consultation as some pieces require an hourly rate while others are given a flat rate.

-Can you give me a price range over the phone? In order to provide you with an accurate price range, you need to come in for a consultation because we need to see the size of the space in which the tattoo will be placed on your body. Please stop by or call to schedule a consultation.

-What should I bring to a consultation? Please bring some cash for a deposit (needed to hold the appointment) and photo references if applicable.

-What should I bring to an appointment? Please bring the balance owed (after the deposit amount) in cash if you were given a flat rate or the estimated amount owed in cash if you were given an hourly rate, plus a little extra (particularly for large or intricate pieces) just in case the session is longer than expected. Bring a valid ID, change for parking meters and yourself.

-This is my first tattoo. Make sure to eat before you arrive. You will not be able to swim for at least 2 weeks after being tattooed. Do not show up to get tattooed with a sunburn in the area where you wish to place it. You should also avoid direct sunlight on the new tattoo for a few weeks after it is applied (i.e. no sunbathing right after your appointment).
