How much does it cost to get tattooed at Inkologist Tattoo Shop?

The cost of your tattoo will all depend on its size, location, amount of detail, and the time needed to complete it. Pricing starts at $100 (shop minimum) for smaller tattoos and goes up from there.

For larger projects, pricing is determined by the length of the session and whether or not the tattoo is black & grey or color.

Sessions are priced according to your artist’s hourly rate, which can vary anywhere between $100-$150 an hour.

How do I book with an artist if I am unsure of my tattoo designs?

Send an artist a tattoo request here and they will help guide you through the design process. They will help figure out what is best for you. Send as many photos for your artist to reference. Your photos may include a tattoo you saw online, photos of the tattoo style you like, photos of your body and the area you hope to cover with your new tattoo. Even if you have no photos, your artist can help create something for you no matter what! Let the professionals handle your artwork at Inkologist in a sterile environment and a timely manner.

Do all artists have the same booking procedures?

No, every artist do not book the same. Please read their page to find out more about the artist you chose to tattoo you.

Are tattoos addicting!?

It’s true, once you get INKED you never want to stop!! This feeling comes from a few circumstances that occur after your first tattoo:

1. You realize mid-tattoo that it doesn’t hurt as bad as you thought so you start planning your next one before you get off the tattoo chair.

2. You see the other side of your body looks less decorated that the tattooed side, so in an effort to provide self worth that portion of your body, you plan a tattoo for balance.

3. You don’t get ALL THE TERRIBLE LOOKS you THOUGHT you’d get from such a visible tattoo so you are motivated to show more of the real you.

No matter what group you fall in, it’s likely that your first time won’t be your only time!

Do you take walk-ins?

We are pleased to announce that we will now be accepting walk-in appointments! Stop by anytime during normal business hours for a same-day session. Our artists do accept appointments as well, so if you are wanting a sure spot feel free to set up an appointment with a deposit. We do not rush our appointments for walk-ins because we would not rush your walk-in session either. Please be patient as we sanitize our stations between clients. Walk-in clients should specify the artist they are looking for if the have a preference. We love taking walk-ins because tattooing should be done when it feels right to you! We can’t wait to see y’all in the shop with us. Call us to check our walk- in availability!

Do you offer consultations?

Yes. Consultations are free and recommended! You will meet with your artist and visit the shop. Set aside approximately a half hour in order to review your vision as well as its location on your body, sizing and details. You are likely to be given an estimate by the time your consultation is over, unless there are illustrations that need to be completed by the artist. Then the artist will discuss how you put down a deposit in order to hold the spot if you choose to proceed with booking.

*Remember: you are not scheduled with your artist for an appointment unless you have sent a deposit.

I feel a bit sick, should I still go to my tattoo appointment?

If you are sick, PLEASE stay home. Our artists value their health as well as the health of their families, so we do not want to be in close contact with anyone sick for hours at a time.

If you are unwell we will reschedule your appointment and give you priority in our schedule in order to get you in as soon as possible once you are feeling better. Our artists reserve the right to cancel your appointment on the spot if you show up for your tattoo visibly unwell.

I’m fine but I’m on antibiotics. Should I still get tattooed?

The use of antibiotics shortly before getting your tattoo or during the healing stage will likely affect the integrity of the tattoo and is not recommended.

Consult with your physician. Try to avoid taking antibiotics 30 days prior to 30 days after getting a new tattoo, if possible.

What can I do to prepare for my tattoo session?

Please do not use any type of blood thinning over the counter medication (such as Ibuprofen and Aspirin) within 24 hours of your appointment.

Please refrain from sun exposure/tanning beds the 2 weeks prior to and 2 weeks after your appointment. Get a good rest the night before, eat a full meal, and drink lots of water before coming in. We also recommend that you wear loose, comfortable clothing that will limit obstruction to the area that we will be tattooing.

Moisturize your skin around the area you are wanting to get tattooed 2-3 times daily for a smooth layer of skin that your artist will appreciate!

Does it hurt? Do you offer any numbing creams?

Pain threshold varies by person. But typically yes, getting a tattoo does hurt bit. The pain is manageable but some areas are more sensitive than others. We highly recommend applying a numbing product to these areas and allowing it to set prior to coming in for your appointment.

Hush Anesthetic Gel is available for purchase on Amazon. We also recommend Painless Tattoo brand numbing cream.

Usually we can get through most tattoos without applying cream beforehand. For more comfort during the application process for your tattoo, we have a numbing gel that we use, free of charge.

If pain is a concern for you, feel free to mention that in your consultation and your artist will be sure to advise you in how to manage your pain, how to avoid painful areas, and how to best prepare for any session: big or small.

Does your shop offer piercings??

Currently, we do not offer piercing services.

What can I bring?

Please bring a government-issued photo ID (license, state ID, passport, etc.) with you to your appointment. We ask to see it every session. We do new paperwork each time a client gets tattooed.

Please bring any reference material with you. Photos in your phone and screenshots are totally acceptable! Also feel free to bring your:

• headphones

• pillow

• blanket

• tablet

• book

• magazine

• bottle of water or non-alcoholic beverage with a lid

• light snacks
