Q: Do you take walk-ins for tattoos?
We do take walk-ins for tattoos when we have the availability. We usually post on our Facebook page when we have walk-in availability for the day, or you can always call when we open to see if we have any time open for the day. Walk-ins are first come, first served so be sure to call early!
Q: Do you take walk-ins for piercings?
We do! Meghan is in the shop Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 12-7pm and she accepts walk-ins all day on the days that she is here. She also works two Saturdays a month from 12 to 4pm- keep an eye on our Facebook to see when she'll be in on the weekend! Feel free to call, email, or stop in the shop for any questions about piercing prices.
Q: How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?
We require that you be at least 16 years of age with parental consent. If you are under 18, we require that a parent or legal guardian sign for you to get your tattoo/piercing and you must provide either a photo ID, passport, or birth certificate as well as your parent or legal guardian's ID.
Q: How do I book a consultation?
To book a consultation with a particular artist, just give us a call or shoot us an email and we can set that up for you! A consultation is a few minutes for you to sit down and chat with an artist one-on-one about your ideas for your tattoo. Typically, consultations are not needed for smaller, simpler tattoos, but we do like to book consultations for larger pieces and for all cover-ups. Consultations are free and if you do not have a specific artist you would like to work with, you can stop in anytime and whoever is available will chat with you!
Q: How do I book an appointment at Flesh?
The best first step for booking an appointment is to call, stop in the shop, email, or Facebook message us with what you are looking to get done. If you have any reference pictures, bring them with you or include those in your message. Be as detailed as possible with what you are looking for- include where you are looking to put the tattoo, about how big you are thinking, if you were looking for color or black and gray, etc...the more details you give us the better idea we can get of exactly what you're looking for! From there, we can figure out how much time is needed and we can go ahead and book an appointment! We require a $100 deposit for all appointments which will be applied to the final price of your tattoo. Deposits are non-refundable.
Q: How can I get a price quote for a tattoo?
The best way to get an accurate price quote is through a consultation with an artist, if not in person, through email or Facebook message. In order for us to quote your idea, we take into consideration the size, subject matter, the placement on the body, amount of detail, color or black & gray, etc.
It's practically impossible for us to give you a quote over the phone without having all of this information. We do have a $100 shop minimum, and our hourly rate is $175/hr. You are also more than welcome to come into the shop and talk to one of our receptionists or artists who would be more than happy to help get you the information you need!
Q: How should I prepare for my tattoo session?
Make sure you are well rested, well hydrated, and have eaten recently. Feel free to bring a drink or a snack, a book, phone/tablet, or a friend or two (preferably not a large group of friends).
Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
We gladly accept cash and all major credit cards. You are welcome to split payments between cash and card. You can tip on a credit card as well. We do not accept checks.
