18 yrs. old, no exceptions.

3.    How do I schedule?

Please click the BOOKING tab and you will be directed to our online booking form. Please answer all the questions to the best of your abilities. This will do several things. First, it will give us an idea of the scope of work you are looking to have done. Second, we will have a better idea of how many sessions your piece may require as well as be able to give you an estimated price quote. Lastly, once all these details are sorted, we’ll be able to get you scheduled as soon as possible.

4.    Why is the shop by appointment only?

We are a private tattoo studio for several reasons. First, due to Covid-19, there are several guidelines we must follow in order to remain in operation, one of them is limiting the amount of heads in the tattoo studio. Second, we prefer to work within a relaxed environment with minimal interruptions and distractions. Depending on the artist, same day appointments are available, so don’t be shy to phone in and ask.  We can be reached at  808-630-4629.  If all the available time slots are taken for the day, we will direct you to our online booking form.

5.      How do you price your tattoos?

There are many variables that go into that answer. For larger pieces such as ones that take more than one sitting, you may be given a price per session, times the amount of sessions, giving you a price bracket. For pieces that require just a single session, your artist will provide you with a ballpark figure. We pride ourselves with offering quality over quantity while working within our clients’ budget. We highly suggest having a look at our artists’ portfolios and choosing the artist that best suits your needs. He/she will be able to narrow down the specifics of your tattoo and together come up with a plan to give you the tattoo that you’re dreaming of.

6.      Do I need to place a deposit?

Yes. We require a $100 non-refundable deposit to secure ALL tattoo appointments. Since we are not doing any in person consultations at the moment, you will be sent a link to place your deposit via Square by credit/debit card. Venmo is also an option.  Your deposit will be credited to the final cost of your tattoo. Your deposit is a sign of seriousness, we will not ask you to place a deposit to secure a tattoo session if both the artist and you are not prepared to proceed with your tattoo appointment.

7.      How do I care for my new tattoo?

1.  Leave bandage on as directed by your artist.

2.  Remove bandage and wash the tattoo soap and warm water at home, not at a public restroom.

3.  Blot dry with a clean paper towel.

4.  You may apply NEOSPORIN CREAM twice a day, making sure to wash your hands and
tattoo prior to application of cream.

5.  No need to rebandage, keep covered with loose clothing.

6.  As your tattoo heals, your skin will form a protective scab. This is normal, DO NOT pick at or scratch scabs.

7.  When scabbing starts, discontinue NEOSPORIN, and use LUBRIDERM for sensitive skin lotion twice a day.

8.   The healing process can take anywhere from 10-14 days minimum. During this time, NO sun, beach, pool, sauna, jacuzzi.

9.  A good rule of thumb: EYES ON, HANDS OFF!

10.  You just spent a pretty penny on your tattoo, as well as endured substantial pain.
Take care of your tattoo, you deserve a properly healed tattoo.
