CASH OR CARD?
We are a cash only studio! But don’t worry, if you forget to bring it with you, there is an ATM within 2 mins walking distance from the studio (Peoples First - Peoples Choice Bank) located on the corner of Gawler place & Flinders Street.
CAN WE BRING OUR CHILDREN INTO THE STUDIO?
We are strictly over 18’s only in the studio, so we cannot allow babies or young children into the space at any time out of respect for our artists and the other clients in the studio. The environment is also not child friendly as we clean to a hospital grade level and are working with sharps and clinical waste.
DO YOU DO CUSTOM TATTOOS?
Yes! We draw specifically for each client. Designs are personal, and one off for you! We also specialise in freehand work too, so you know its original!
But, you’re also more than welcome to bring your own design in and we can work with that too.
HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?
Our shop minimum charge is $200 for small tattoos, and prices go up according to size of the design you would like. For ongoing work, we charge an hourly rate, and also a day rate for longer sittings. Each artist has their own rate, please contact your artist.
DO YOU HAVE GUEST ARTISTS?
Yes! We regularly host national and International guest artists. We have amassed a huge network of tattooers and contacts all over the globe, and many want to visit sunny Adelaide to tattoo! Keep an eye on the page for upcoming guest artists.
DO YOU DO COVERUPS?
Yes! We always recommend some laser treatments prior to covering up any old tattoos you have. It makes your options a lot broader for what you cover with! We have the best laser in Adelaide in studio courtesy of The Tattoo Removal Co.
DO I NEED TO LEAVE A DEPOSIT (BOOKING FEE)?
Yes, we do require a cash deposit (booking fee) for any and all bookings. We cannot secure a date for you until the deposit is paid. For ongoing pieces, the deposit will be rolled over to each booking and will come off the final price of the last appointment. Deposits (booking fees) are non refundable & non transferrable, and we require 7 DAYS notice to cancel or move your booking without forfeiting your deposit (booking fee).
Our artists reserve the right to ask for another deposit to re-book an appointment if you cancel within this 7 DAY time frame.
*Please bear in mind, the studio is closed Sunday and Monday, so we will not answer the phone or email during these hours until Tuesday morning.
CAN WE BRING A FRIEND TO OUR APPOINTMENT?
As we are a busy studio, we encourage all clients to come alone to your appointment, due to space restrictions in the studio, and also out of respect for the artists and clients getting tattooed in the studio. If you are traveling from interstate or are part of a larger group booking, we encourage your party to use our waiting area at the font of the studio, or take advantage of one of the wonderful cafes located a few steps from the studio (we recommend Boy and Bloom)
DO YOU DO WALK INS?
We try to accommodate for walk ins every day we are open, so if we have time on the day you want to come down, then you’re in luck!
Spots open up all the time so be sure to call ahead if you’re thinking of coming down on the day.
WHERE CAN WE PARK?
As we are located in the center of Adelaide CBD, parking is limited, but you can get lucky and find on street parking on Flinders Street; some are 1, 2 and 3 hour parking spaces.
If you are coming for a day sitting, we recommend parking at the one of the many multi-story car parks located around Flinders Street:
* Wilson Parking - 229 Flinders Street
