The best ways to get in touch with us is by email, Facebook and Instagram. We may ask you to come in for a free consult so we can get a more accurate idea of what you are after. From here, once you’re happy - it's just a matter of putting down a deposit (which comes off the price of the tattoo) to secure your date and get your artist designing.
We have loads of one-off flash tattoo designs ready to go which are priced per piece. Our minimum charge is $180, and if you would like to know a price on a custom piece, flick us a message, or book in a free consult with the shop.
A tattoo is a form of artwork, and the saying is true - you get what you pay for. A quality design, drawn by an actual artist, tattooed in a sterile friendly environment - or a free one by your mate Dave in his garage with a machine he bought on Trademe.
To all Dave’s friends - we also do cover-ups.
Our current waiting list for 16yr olds is two years.
Things come up - we understand this, but please respect that we have set time aside for you, which means other people can't grab that spot - so please give us 48hrs min notice and your deposit will transfer to your new date. No-shows will not receive their deposit back, this goes to the tattoo artist as a drawing fee/loss of earnings.
Will it hurt?
We’re not going to lie to tou - it doesn't tickle. But you can handle it - we've never had anyone stop before (only that guy years ago that now walks around with 2 small lines on his bicep). Everyones pain threshold is different - but we wouldn't be in business if it was something you couldn't handle.
Be rested, have something to eat, no heavy nights the night before - and just let the artist know if you have any nerves.
We aim to have a tattooist free for walk in's - but feel free to get in touch on the day to see if we have space.
We have an aftercare card available here in the shop to let you know how to look after your tattoo - but the simple stuff, don't go having a sauna, don't go sunbathing, don't pick off any skin - this is it's natural healing process. We also have an aftercare cream we sell and recommend.
Eftpos, credit card (in store), cash, bank transfer and AfterPay!
Yes - we have tattoo vouchers in store, and online.

FIRST TIMER?

We understand that your first tattoo can seem a little intimidating - or maybe you’re just needing a little advice before you fully commit. Rest assured, we have done LOADS of first tattoos, and we’ve all been in your shoes and can remember ours.

There’s the age old questions - Will it hurt? Will I be able to handle it? What do I need to do before? So here is just a quick and easy guide to getting you to and through your first tattoo.

Find some images you like on google/pinterest/instagram - you’re not looking to find your exact tattoo, just ideas you like - imagery, colours, styles and placements. We don’t replicate tattoos, but will use these as a starting point to design you up a rad, one of a kind tattoo.
We’ve been doing this a while - we know what can translate well to a tattoo, and what just needs to remain an inspirational poster for your bedroom wall. While it’s your tattoo, and we want you to have control over where and what it is, we have the knowledge to get the best outcome for you based on your idea. Trust in us, as many others have, and know we want the absolute best for you.
Make sure you’ve had a good nights sleep the night before - lay off the grog, and come showered and wearing appropriate clothing for the body part we will be tattooing.
Will it hurt? Yes - we’re not going to lie. But it is bearable. Like showering after sunburn - but with something cool to show off afterwards. We have music playing in store - but feel free to bring headphones along if you would like to zone out on your phone.
That’s all you really need to know about your first tattoo. We have an aftercare sheet in store for you to take away which will run you through how to take care of your fancy new tattoo, as well as having an aftercare we sell which we recommend for the best healing of your tattoo.
Our shop minimum is $180, which covers the cost of your time with the artist and brand new disposable and sterile instrument set up for you. You’re paying for our expertise and your health and safety. Most smaller-medium size pieces are quoted based on design, size and placement. Each artist works at a different pace, so this is why we quote this way.
You can bring a friend along, but they will have to wait in the waiting room, and aren’t able to come through to the sterile area to sit with you. Our waiting room isn’t large, so we ask you don’t bring a rugby team of people - we need space for our paying clients to chill. But don’t worry, there are plenty of bars and cafes nearby for your friend to wait for you.
We offer free consults Weds to Sat, so drop us a line if you would like to chat about your tattoo, and we’ll set up a time with the best artist for the job.
