Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about walk-ins, appointments, tattoos, laser removal, pricing, and visiting the studio.
Booking & Consultations
How do I book a consultation?
Fill out our online consultation form and our team will review your submission and reach out to you. Consultations are free.
Do I need a consultation before getting tattooed?
Not always. Walk-ins are welcome for tattoos an available artist can take that day. Larger custom pieces, cover-ups, and projects for a specific artist usually begin with a consultation.
How far in advance should I book?
You can walk in during studio hours or book ahead. If you want a specific artist, a larger custom piece, or a guaranteed appointment time, send a consultation request as early as possible.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Walk-ins are welcome Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm. Same-day artist availability varies, so call ahead if you are making a long drive.
Pricing
How much does a tattoo cost?
Each artist sets pricing for their own work. Rates and project-specific estimate factors are available on our tattoo pricing page. View tattoo pricing
Do you require a deposit?
A deposit may be required to reserve the appointment. Your artist confirms the amount, payment instructions, and appointment-specific terms during booking. Review tattoo pricing and request a consultation for your project.
How much does laser removal cost?
Laser removal is priced by tattoo size, from $150–$175 per treatment for a stamp-size tattoo to $500–$600 for a half sleeve. Packages save 15% on three treatments or 20% on five. Larger tattoos are priced during a free consultation. View laser removal pricing
Tattoo Aftercare
How do I care for my new tattoo?
Your artist will provide detailed aftercare instructions. Generally: keep it clean, moisturized, out of the sun, and avoid submerging it in water for 3-4 weeks. Don't pick at any peeling skin.
How long does a tattoo take to heal?
The surface heals in about 2-3 weeks, but the deeper layers take 4-6 weeks to fully recover. Follow your aftercare instructions throughout the entire healing period.
Do you offer touch-ups?
Yes. If any area of your tattoo needs a touch-up after healing, contact your artist and we'll take care of it.
Laser Removal
How does laser tattoo removal work?
Our MD Pico laser delivers picosecond pulses that break tattoo ink into smaller particles, which the body clears over time. Results and session counts vary by tattoo and skin response.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no universal session count. Size, ink colors, density, depth, age, placement, and skin response all affect the plan, and fading for a cover-up usually takes fewer sessions than full removal. We'll give you an individual estimate at your free consultation.
Can I get a cover-up after laser removal?
Yes. Pigment does laser fading and custom cover-up tattooing in the same studio, so the laser technician and your artist can plan how much fading the new design needs. Plan a cover-up tattoo
What is the Fresh Start Program?
We've partnered with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit since 2014 to offer free laser removal for gang, prison, and forced tattoos. If you're helping yourself, we're here to assist.
