Can you price my tattoo over the internet or phone?
We are unfortunately unable to give prices over the phone, as there are too many variables such as size, detail, and placement of the tattoo. We encourage you to send us a picture of your vision, if possible,
and then come in to receive an accurate pricing estimate.
​
Our minimum price is $75 for any size, but for a rough expectation (which can vary greatly due to details), please budget roughly $50 per square inch for a full-color tattoo, and $30/sq inch for a black-and-white piece.
Do you sell all the aftercare products I’ll need and How long does it take for my tattoo to heal?
Yes; We offer aftercare products for any work you get done in the shop. You will usually have surface healing within 7-10 days, and normally, the tattoo will be fully healed within 30 days. Everyone's body is different, and your experience will depend on your anatomy.
Where on my body should I get a tattoo?
This is a decision that only YOU can make. Your artist can suggest placement of your tattoo because of its size or shape, but it is completely your decision. We will consult with you to make sure that you are completely satisfied with your vision and our input before we will move forward. Remember a Tattoo Is For Life!
HOW SHOULD I PLAN FOR A LARGER TATTOO (ARM/LEG/BACK/ETC)?
First thing, come talk to us. The best large pieces always BEGIN with a cohesive plan, not just bits and pieces loosely tied together. We can do a sleeve or back piece with existing work in place, but it will ALWAYS look better when you come in with a plan and allow the same artist to help bring that plan to fruition for you.
Do You Require a Non-Refundable Deposit?
Yes, we do. Oftentimes, we will have hours of work in drawing and preparing for a tattoo before you sit down in our chair. It has also been our experience that people with a deposit paid are more likely to follow through with their tattoo.
A Tattoo is a Lifetime Commitment!
SHOULD I WALK IN, OR BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
We always encourage people to book an appointment for tattoos of any size. First, this guarantees you will get in at a certain time without waiting for hours. Second, it gives our artists the chance to draw your new tattoo so that it’s 100% unique to you.
We are happy to take Walk-Ins as we can during the day but we encourage you to call us at 717-228-2878 first to see what - if any - time slots we may have available the same day.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I’M LATE TO MY APPOINTMENT?
The reason we set appointments is to give both you and your artist the time to consult about your vision, create your new tattoo, and to make sure that your experience is awesome. If you are going to be late to your appointment, you need to contact us ASAP! We will, at that time, determine whether we will be able to make your appointment work or if we need to reschedule. We understand that sometimes life gets in the way of the best made plans.
We will work with you if you work with us.

If you decide to move forward at a later time or want to reschedule your appointment after a No Show we will require another Non Refundable Deposit before we will be able to more forward.
