A: Click “Book Now” and send your artist a message.  Include the details about your idea, size/placement, and any reference pics. We’ll chat and give you a price range before you make your tattoo appointment. (We do ask for a nonrefundable $100 deposit to hold your spot.)

A: Every piece is different; we price by size, detail, and time.

Tattoos start at $100 and go up from there, and larger custom work is hourly.

Don’t worry: we’ll give you a clear quote before we start—no surprises.  We can work with your budget to create a plan for your tattoo that works for you, too!

We do often have flash flat priced tattoo specials: check with your artist to ask about upcoming tattoo deals in our Dickson tattoo shop.

A: A portfolio of their work. Your decision should be based on your appreciation for the artist style.

A clean studio and workspace. A technician or artist that follows UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS.

A LICENSED ARTIST / TECHNICIAN NOT AN APPRENTICE!!! Unless you have been made aware of that and that you agree to allow it.

A: Does it hurt to get a tattoo? Yep, a little—but most people say it’s totally manageable. Think cat scratch + sunburn vibe.

Our tattoo artists will check in with you the whole time and take breaks if you need them for your comfort.

Tattoo anxiety is common, and we can work with you to make this a great experience.

A: Before a tattoo appointment you should always come hydrated, eat a good meal, and get some sleep. Skip alcohol the night before and don’t come to your appointment if  you are sunburned or sick. Wear comfy clothes that make the spot easy to reach. Let your artist know if you have other specific concerns.

A: We welcome you to bring an emotional support person to our Dickson tattoo shop for your appointment.

One buddy is cool if space allows (and they’re chill). We keep the studio calm so everyone can focus.

The person you bring to your appointment should be there to support you and help you through the experience, not make it more anxious for everyone!

Please do not bring minors (anyone under age 18), a tattoo shop is not a good environment for children.

A: To get a tattoo in Tennessee, you must be 18 years or older with a valid ID. No exceptions—even with parental permission. The state of Tennessee does not allow tattooing of minors and we will not tattoo minors in our Dickson tattoo shop.

A: We’ll go over your tattoo after-care plan in person and send you a care sheet, but here are some basics of tattoo care:

1. Keep it clean: Use gentle soap to clean the area.
2. You can apply a thin layer of unscented lotion to help with dry skin or peeling.
3. No soaking the tattoo or swimming for 2 weeks after getting your tattoo.
4. Do not pick your scabs for your tattoo: it could damage the artwork and interfere with the healing process.

A: Loss of color during the healing process can happen – just reach out to your artist to discuss your touch-up options.

Touch-ups are usually free within the first year as long as you followed the proper after-care routine. Just reach out and we’ll get you back in.

Please note: Loss of color due to age or sun exposure is not eligible for a touch up at no charge. This is a natural process in the life of a tattoo and is to be expected over time. If you need this type of touch-up, please reach out to us to schedule a consultation.

A: Yes! Send a clear photo of the existing tattoo and what you’re thinking for your tattoo cover-up or tattoo rework. We’ll be honest about what’s possible and design something you’ll love.

A: Not at this time: we’re strictly a tattoo shop.
