Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take walk ins?
Yes, as long as I have availability to do so. You’re welcome to call or text 423-552-4361 and ask for walk in availability. Fridays and Saturdays are generally the better days for walk ins. I primarily work by appointment as its the best way to guarantee service. I offer appointments Tuesday—Sunday.
Do you all do piercings?
No we do not offer piercings. We recommend Justin at House of Ink for piercings.
What is your shop minimum?
Our Shop minimum is $100 and goes up from there. Price varies on size, detail, and placement which ultimately affects how long it takes to do the tattoo properly.
How old do I have to be to get tattooed?
Due to TN state law you must be 18 years or older, regardless of parental consent.
Why should I fill out a booking form?
Booking form submissions have priority over social media dms, emails, texts, and phone calls. The booking form gives me most of the information needed for your tattoo project. The booking form has scheduling preference options making it a smoother/quicker process to schedule your tattoo appointment. Depending on the piece, my team or I can send you a direct scheduling link for your tattoo appointment after reviewing your booking form. Larger scale projects and cover ups still require you to come in for a consultation and measurements before scheduling your tattoo appointment.
Why do I have to come in for measurements when I schedule a tattoo appointment?
For big tattoos like chest, back, or sleeves, a consultation is needed to discuss details and take accurate measurements. This helps make sure your tattoo lasts a lifetime with integrity. Even for smaller projects the goal is to ensure the design fits and flows to your body’s natural form. Especially if working around other tattoos or doing a cover up. This way I can ensure you have the highest quality outcome for your tattoo.
Do I have to pay a deposit to schedule a Tattoo Appointment?
Do I have to pay a deposit to schedule a tattoo appointment?
Yes, your deposit secures your appointment time and date. It retains my time to research and draw up your tattoo, and it goes towards the price of your tattoo session. For more information on deposits go to the Booking page .
Can I get tattooed while I’m Pregnant?
No, we recommend waiting until the end of your pregnancy before getting tattooed. If you are breastfeeding than we recommend asking your doctor about getting tattooed first.
Should I eat before my tattoo appointment?
Yes, you should eat before your tattoo appointment. This aids in keeping your blood sugar levels optimal, and helps to lower the likelihood of passing out. Due to the adrenaline and endorphin rush when getting tattooed it can bottom out your sugar levels. Its also recommended to stay hydrated and bring water with you when getting tattooed.
Can I bring someone with me when I get tattooed?
Yes, you can bring someone with you to your appointment. I ask that you leave it to just 1 person, as I try to keep crowds at a minimum to ensure the private studio experience for all clientele.
