Are you open for walk-ins?

Not yet! We are currently taking appointments while we settle into our space. Give us a call to see if we can get you in today or email us to get in touch. And follow our Instagram to keep up with shop news!

Where is the shop located?

We’re at 507 East Ohio Street, right across from Allegheny City Beer Garden and next to Deutschtown Market.

Is there free parking available?

There are free 2-hour street spots around the neighborhood, but we recommend parking in the pay-by-the-hour lot on Foreland Street, right behind Chase Bank.

What are your hours?

We’re open Tuesday-Sunday, 11:00a-6:00p. We work by appointment on Monday; it’s always worth giving us a call to see what we can do for you! We’re often at the shop outside of our official open hours.

Do I need an appointment to get tattooed?

No matter how booked we are, we’ll always try to fit you in. You can call the shop or stop by during open hours for a walk-in. Appointments are preferred for large-scale work, but we can sometimes start larger pieces as walk-ins as well.

How do I schedule an appointment?

We prefer to do consultations and booking in-person, especially for new clients. If you aren’t from the area or have trouble getting around, give us a call or fill out an appointment-request form on our contact page. We respond to form requests within one business day. All appointments require a deposit; this deposit comes out of the cost of your tattoo.

Are deposits for appointments refundable?

Deposits are non-refundable. If you can’t make it to your appointment, you can call us to reschedule with at least 24 hours notice and we’ll roll your deposit over to the new appointment. If you no-show or cancel last-minute, then your deposit is forfeit. Sorry, but that’s what they’re for!

What should I wear while getting tattooed?

Loose, comfortable clothing is best. For tattoos on the back we recommend bringing a button-down shirt to wear backwards, gym shorts or a dress for leg tattoos, etc. Consider how easy it is for your artist to access the spot, and how you’d like to be covered up comfortably. For tattoos that require your chest to be exposed, we have pasties available.

Is there privacy available while getting tattooed?

Our shop is open-floor. If privacy is a concern, stop by or give us a call. We can book you on an appointment-only day, use privacy screens, etc. to make sure you’re comfortable while being tattooed.

Do you do piercings?

Nope!

Do you offer apprenticeships?

N O .

Do you tattoo minors?

No!!!

Do you tattoo deep complexions? Do you offer color tattoos for all complexions?

Of course!

Do you do custom work?

We love custom work. We want to hear your ideas.

Do you use vegan ink?

We do use vegan ink, but always make your preference known to your artist so they can double-check that all of the supplies used for your tattoo are 100% vegan.

Are you wheelchair accessible?

Yes! If you need any other accommodation for a disability, just contact us and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.

Do you allow children in the shop?

Children are NOT allowed in the shop. It’s simply not a place for children, between the adult art and sharp objects, and we are far from qualified to provide childcare. Just look at us for pete’s sake.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes! The tattooing area can get pretty tight, but we have some seating in our lobby. The neighborhood also has a variety of cafes, stores, restaurants, bars, and parks to spend time at if a guest gets bored of waiting.

What is your shop minimum?

$100. Yes, even for a tiny tattoo, even for a tattoo that takes us fifteen minutes. We use top-of-the-line supplies and cut no corners. We have years of experience that translate to your tattoo being done faster and better. Tattoos are permanent—you’re worth it!

How much do tattoos cost?

We price by the piece and quotes are given after we figure out size and placement. We DO NOT! give estimates over the phone; it’s too easy to miscommunicate details. An exact price can’t be given until the final drawing is approved by you. We work within all budgets-–if you have a maximum amount you’d like to spend, or a price range you’d like to stay within, just let us know. Never feel embarrassed to tell your artist you have a limit on price! The last thing we want to do is surprise somebody with a tattoo that’s out of their budget.

Do you ever do specials or discounts? 

We will occasionally do “flash days” for fun or to benefit a local nonprofit/mutual aid fund. Follow our Instagram and turn on post notifications to be the first to know about special events!

I still have a question. Where can I contact you?

We have several ways to get in touch that you can access here.
