Once you have selected your preferred artist(s), please stop into the studio and we will be happy to set it up or answer any questions you may have. If you are not able to come into the studio in person, please fill out the following request form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

There is no set cost for a tattoo. Prices will vary greatly depending on multiple factors such as size, detail, and placement. The best way to obtain an estimate is to stop by the shop at your convenience. We are always more than happy to help you get the information you need.

Yes, the shop minimum is $100.

yes, we do recommend you call the tattoo studio before you actually walk in. This way you can check if anyone is currently available. But, hurry up, because, if someone comes before you, they’ll go first.

Yes, a non-refundable $100 deposit is required to book an appointment deposits are non-refundable and will be applied to the final price of your tattoo.

You must be at least 18 years old in order to get a tattoo. It is against Illinois state law to tattoo a minor even with parental consent. You will need a government issued ID with your birthdate and picture. You may also provide a driver’s license or passport. School and other forms of ID are not accepted.

Should you need to reschedule a future appointment, we ask for a minimum of 48 hours notice otherwise you forfeit your deposit. No shows will be required to pay for any future appointments in full beforehand.

If you need to cancel your appointment, we still ask for a minimum of a 48 hour notice. However, the deposit is non-refundable.

Finger tattoos can be accepted depending on the artists. Feel free to reach out to your desired artists for a more accurate response.

The skin on your fingers takes ink differently than most parts of your body. Fingers are most exposed to sun and water and are used most in everyday life. With that being said, there is a high chance of infection because of not being able to maintain a proper healing process. Fading is evident and with that comes multiple touch up sessions. Touch up price may vary depending on artists.

Occasionally, small tattoo inquires may not be fulfilled due to aging process. With this in mind, we might recommend increasing the size. we want your tattoos to with stand the test of time

Yes! You can definitely bring in your own design. Keep in mind that some will not always translate well as a tattoo. You may also bring in references for ideas. As artists, we will certainly work with you to create the tattoo that you envision for yourself.

We accept cash or credit cards (visa, mastercard, discover, american express etc). However, we will not accept checks.

* 2.7% charge for all in studio credit card transactions, bring cash to avoid.

We highly recommend that you eat a meal shortly before your appointment. We also recommend to stay hydrated. It is best not to party the night before. Alcohol can thin your blood and prolong bleeding for up to 24 hours. Extra blood also dilutes our pigments, affecting the appearance of your tattoo as well as the healing process.

Based on the Illinois health department regulations, children are not allowed in the studio. This policy is not only for the safety of your children, but also the comfort of the artists and our other clients.

Your tattoo will start to look healed in 7 to 10 days. However, it can take up to 4 weeks for the skin to be completely healed. The tattoo should not be exposed to the sun or soaked in water until after this time.

Absolutely! A friend is always welcome for moral support! We do ask that you limit this to one friend in order to not cause a distraction to other clients and employees in the studio.

Tattoos can be uncomfortable. The level of discomfort can vary from person to person. Some areas on the body are more sensitive than others. In most cases it will probably hurt less than you think. If pain is a concern, we also offer numbing agents for an extra cost that can be applied during your tattoo.

We offer first earlobe piercings starting at age 8.

In order to get a piercing by yourself you must be 18 years of age or older.

We do offer earlobe piercings, traditional cartilage/helix piercings, and nostril piercings on minors who are ages 14 and up with parental consent.

We offer alternative cartilage piercings such as an industrial piercing, and navel piercings on ages 16 and up with parental consent.

We do not offer any intimate piercings, oral piercings, or surface piercings on minors.

For every piercing we offer in the studio, our piercing service fee is $50 dollars. Jewelry is not included in this price, but our options generally start out at $40 dollars from our implant grade titanium selection, per piece. Cost of jewelry can vary depending on the jewelry you wish to wear, and we do have a wide variety of jewelry in store. We are also more than happy to custom order jewelry if there is a piece you would like, that we do not have in stock! (Applicable sales tax is issued to the jewelry itself, not the service fee.)

We do offer a reduced service fee for additional piercings done in the same sitting, which is $25 not including the jewelry, so the service fees are BOGO half off. That is every day, and no special promos necessary!

For example with service and jewelry combined, a single piercing could start at $90 dollars before tax, and go up depending on the jewelry selected; while two piercings in the same sitting such as a pair of earlobe piercings or multiple cartilage piercings, would start at $160 before tax and up, depending on your jewelry! More than two, you would just add any additional half service fees, and any jewelry pieces chosen.

Every piercing we do is performed with a single use, sterilized piercing needle which is disposed into regulated waste immediately after the piercing. We do not use piercing guns for any piercing due to their risks of being unsanitary, inaccurate, and overly traumatic.

In the past couple years or so you may have heard a fashion forward trend surfacing of “curating ears” and we absolutely do. In fact, we like to think of every piercing as a step in curation. Having a consultation about piercings you wish to get is always free and encouraged, to help you plan out an overall look. A lot of what we do is determining what piercings are going to work best for you based on your individual anatomy, your aesthetics, and your inspirations.

We do not offer the use of any outside jewelry. For your safety, we strictly use only the safest materials, from the best piercing jewelry manufacturers in the US. And we pride ourselves on being the only studio in DuPage County that only stocks jewelry made by companies such as NeoMetal, Anatometal, Leroi Fine Jewelry, Body Gems, Body Vision Los Angeles and many others. All of our jewelry comes with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturers defects as well.

Every individual body is slightly different. With any piercing, we need to make sure your anatomy is appropriate for the piercing you wish to get. Some ears may not have enough of a ridge for the piercing to heal properly. Some navels may not be shaped in a manner conducive to healing properly. This is something your piercer will look for prior to performing your piercing to ensure you are getting the best possible outcome for you as an individual.

We don’t suggest having more than 4 piercings healing at one time. Your piercer can let you know what they feel will be the best course of action if you have long term plans for many piercings and can help you pick out the ones you’d like to do first based on your lifestyle, sleeping habits, etc.

We suggest eating a well-balanced meal approximately 2 hours before your arrival. We also strongly encourage being hydrated, and getting a good rest the night before.

If you are getting an ear piercing we suggest styling your hair up, and avoiding chemical hair products such as mousses, sprays or gels, and fresh color to keep the surface of your ears clean. (We always have bobby pins on standby though if needed).

For first time earlobe piercings on children we encourage a visit to the studio before piercing. This can be days, weeks, months, or years before piercing actually happens. This helps break the ice to the child, allows them to look at jewelry, see the piercing room, and meet the piercer. Without the expectation of actually getting the piercings that day, we find that young children tend to be much more enthusiastic on their return visit to get the actual piercings done.

Please do not come to the studio under the influence of drugs or alcohol. We understand that piercing can be very suspenseful, nerve-wracking, and spontaneous. If you arrive under the influence you will not receive services.

For body piercings such as a navel, we recommend loose fitting or athletic clothing for your comfort. High waisted and restrictive clothing articles can make unwanted contact with the piercing, and they can be uncomfortable after the piercing is performed.

During the piercing we ask that you put cell phones away as a courtesy. You are welcome to take before and after photos (with no flash), and encouraged to do so if your child is getting their ears pierced for the first time. However, when the actual piercing is taking place, we do not allow photos, videos, or video sharing such as a “live” function or FaceTime.

You are welcome to bring a friend for emotional support. We do ask that you limit this to one friend as to not cause a distraction to other clients and employees in the studio. Only one friend will be allowed in the piercing room during your procedure. If you are a minor getting the piercing, your parent must accompany you, no other minors are allowed in the studio without their direct parent or legal guardian.

Minors may never be unattended in the studio. We ask that you bring an additional adult to supervise your child(ren) in the car so as to not pose a distraction to you the parent getting pierced, your child getting pierced, or other clients and employees.

Minor’s receiving a piercing must always be accompanied by their parent or guardian.

Unfortunately at this time due to a recent surge in demand, we are unable to accommodate walk ins for piercings and jewelry services. However, you are welcome to call us and see if any time had opened up last minute! Sometimes plans change for our other clients, and if an opportunity arises where we can get you in between appointments, we absolutely will!
