Frequently Asked Questions

Picture
Q: Do you charge hourly, or by the piece?
A: Each artist at Ink Therapy handles their own pricing, and prices may differ depending on the artist's preference. Our shop's minimum is $100, so that's a good starting point to keep in mind when planning your next piece.

Q: Do you require a deposit for appointments?
A: Yes, all appointments require a non-refundable deposit. Deposits work as a retainer to hold the date and time of your appointment. The deposit amount also goes towards the full price of your tattoo.* Missing your appointment, arriving more than 20 minutes late, or failure to give 48 hours notice to reschedule will result in a forfeit of your deposit, and a new deposit will be required to rebook. Deposits can be made with cash in-person at the tattoo shop, or by credit/debit card when booking online.
*Example: Your desired tattoo is quoted at a total cost of $200. You pay a $100 deposit the day of booking, and the remaining $100 the day of your appointment.

Q: When can I see my design?
A: Typically, our artists do not send out designs beforehand, and do not begin sketching a design without an appointment being scheduled. This both protects the artist from having their hard work taken elsewhere, and gives them a chance to discuss possible changes in person.

Q: Will you tattoo this design by another artist?
A: It is ultimately at the artist's discretion, but typically no. We do not condone copying other artist's work unless you supply written permission from the artist to use said design as a tattoo. We highly encourage picture examples of what tattoos you are wanting if you happen to have examples, but please know that we will redraw/redesign your tattoo so that it is custom for you. That's just part of the job!

Q: I loved this tattoo you did for someone in the past, and I want the exact same one!
A: We are thrilled to hear that people like previous work, but unless a tattoo is designated as a repeatable flash piece, we will not re-tattoo a design onto someone if it has already been claimed by a previous client. We are, however, happy to design something unique for you based off of the design you liked.

Q: Do you do touch-ups?
A: Yes! Ink Therapy stands by the work of our artists, and therefore offer free touch-ups within a year of receiving the tattoo, at the artist's discretion. We do not offer free touch-ups on tattoos originally done by someone else or at a different shop. We also do not schedule touch-ups for Fridays or Saturdays, as these are our busiest days of the week. 

Q: I'm getting my first tattoo, what do I need to know?
A: First off, congratulations! First tattoos are always very exciting! That being said, please show up to your appointment well-rested, freshly bathed, hydrated, and having eaten a decent meal. (No late night partying beforehand to psych yourself up!) Make sure to wear clothes that make the tattoo location comfortably accessible. You may bring a drink and snacks to your appointment, especially if it will be a longer appointment! Some people get cold during the tattoo process, so we also encourage bringing a jacket or clean blanket if you think you might get chilly. Feel free to bring a book or headphones as well, if that would make you more comfortable. 

Q: What forms of payment do you take?
A: Our shop accepts cash, credit, and debit cards for all major card companies. 

Q: Do you accept tips? And if so, how much is typical?
A: Tips are absolutely appreciated, but not required! That being said, they do help your artist know they did a great job, gave you a pleasant experience, or perhaps exceeded expectations. If you feel like tipping, any amount is great!
