Scheduling an Appointment:

   Appointments can be scheduled, easily, through Instagram, Facebook, a quick telephone call or in-person.
   Appointments allow the artist time to work on the design before hand. This allows a quick-start upon arrival. It, also, ensures the artist will be ready and available for you.

The apprentice will be available for practice sale days and appointments only. They will, also, have the client be made fully aware of their apprenticeship upon any service agreement.

The Piercing Room:
   The piercing room is a secure environment, away from the open design of the tattoo lobby. We take pride in our cleanliness, set-up and organizational skills.
