FAQ

Where are you guys?
We are a private, appointment only studio located near Newport. On the day of your appointment call and we will give you directions.

How does the whole thing work?
Getting a tattoo should be a process, not a spur of the moment thing as it often can be. At many shops the goal is to get as many people in and out as quickly as possible. We do not work that way. We like to meet with you, either in person or on the phone and discuss what type of tattoo it is you want. Once we understand what you are looking for we will put pencil to paper and design something unique for you to look at. If what we have designed works for you then we apply the tattoo. Simple designs like letters can be done in one visit, more complicated designs need a couple of visits. We do not rush. We want our tattoos to be something you are proud to show off to your friends.

How many people can I bring at once?
As there is only the two of us (Lily and Eric) we can usually comfortably handle 4-6 people in a day, but that usually fills our day.

Can I just come by anytime?
No, we do not have an open door policy. We require appointments. Call us and set one up and if you cannot make it we ask that you call and cancel.

Do you do piercings?
No, not at this time.

How long does it take to get a tattoo?
That really depends on the size of the tattoo and how complicated the design is, but generally one to three hours is about the average.

How come I have to pay some money if it is a Free Tattoo?
We apply the tattoo for free. We do not give you the design and artwork for free. Even with paying us to design something and then getting it tattoo’d for free you will still end up with a fine original tattoo for about one half to one third of what you would pay in any other shop.

Can I get a discount if I send you one person?
The discount program is really a reward system for people who send us clients. We offer coupons to anyone looking to make referrals. Write your name on the back of the coupon, give them to your friends and we track how many come in with your name on it. Once you have referred at least 3 you are entitled to a completely free tattoo which includes up to $150.00 dollars worth of artwork and design. More than 3 entitles you to more involved work. If you are only able to refer just one person we will work out a discount based on the size of the artwork your referral gets.
