FAQ

Have any questions about the tattoo process, becoming a guest artist, or working with us as a resident? Take a look at some of our most common questions here.

Have a question you don't see here? Contact Us Today!

Does your shop take walk-ins?

Absolutely! We usually have an artist on walk-in duty, So most days you can just walk in and get tattooed that same day. We ensure that all of our artists are well qualified to do the piece that you’re interested in. Just come in with a reference photo and a little bit of flexibility on time!

Is your shop easy to find?

Our shop is a street Level shop with the front door located at 1839 Commercial Dr.

There is on street parking all along commercial Drive as well as paid parking right behind our building. We are five minutes away from the Skytrain station, So very easy to find!

How much do you charge for a tattoo?

We have a shop minimum of $120, but each artist will have their own specific hourly. Some artists also charge per piece so you don’t have to worry about time. Most of our artists prefer cash, but all of them are willing to take an e-Transfer. The Shop can process credit card payments, but of course there’s a terminal fee.

How do I book with one of your artists?

Our artists mostly booked through their private messages on Instagram. In the artist section of this website, you will find links to their Instagram. You can message them privately from there. Alternatively, you can just leave us a message through this website and we will funnel it towards the artist you’re interested in, or just anyone who would be willing and capable of doing your tattoo for you and they will get in contact with you based on how you’d like to be reached.

Do you guys take a deposit?

Yes, like most artists, we all take deposits!

Do you guys carry numbing cream?

Most of our artists do! We have numbing cream at the shop if you want to pick some up before your appointment because most of them have to be applied before the appointment.

We also carry FDA approved sprays that help with the pain as well.

What is your cancellation policy?

We require a 24 hour cancellation notice or the forfeiture of your deposit. If we are no showed, with no follow up, we will likely put you on a blacklist where you will not be able to book with us unless you pre-pay for your next tattoo.
