Frequently asked questions

How much will my tattoo cost?

Cost depends on size, placement, detail, and how long the piece takes. After you share your idea you may receive a preliminary range. A firm quote comes from Kristyn during your consultation, once the scope is clear.

Can I get a quote without a consultation?

You can get a preliminary range, but not a firm quote. Any range shared beforehand is a starting point. The quote is confirmed with Kristyn at your consultation.

How soon can I get in?

Availability changes throughout the year. When you start a project you will see real consultation times to choose from rather than a waiting list.

How long will my session take?

Small fine line pieces are often a single shorter session. Larger or more detailed work may need several hours or more than one sitting. Kristyn gives you a realistic estimate at your consultation.

Can I bring a friend?

Studio space is limited and sessions are quiet by design. Guest arrangements are confirmed ahead of your appointment — ask when you book.

Do I need a consultation?

Yes. A consultation is a required part of every project. It is where the design direction, placement, scale, and price are settled together.

When will I see my design?

Kristyn normally prepares artwork about a week before your appointment, and you see it on the day. This keeps the drawing fresh and lets you adjust it together in person.

Can I request changes?

Yes. Minor adjustments are made together on the day, before any tattooing begins. A materially different concept may need additional design time.

What should I bring?

A valid photo ID, and anything that helps you settle in for the session. See preparation for the full list.

How should I prepare?

Eat beforehand, hydrate, and wear clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed. See preparation.

What if I need to reschedule?

Let the studio know as early as you can. Rescheduling terms are covered in policies.

How do I send reference images?

You can attach them when you start your project. References help enormously — send anything that captures the feeling you are after, not just tattoos.

Do you do colour work?

Kristyn specialises in fine line, most often in black and grey. Ask about colour when you share your idea and she will tell you honestly whether it suits the piece.

Is there an age requirement?

You must be of legal age to be tattooed and present a valid photo ID at your appointment. No exceptions.
