FAQs

Do you take walk-ins or do I have to set up an appointment?
We take walk-ins Mon-Thurs, 1pm-8pm and Friday & Saturday between 1pm-9pm. If you have a specific desired date and time that you would like to come, then we strongly recommend setting up an appointment. Walk-ins are welcomed on a first come, first serve basis and are not guaranteed.  

How do I set up an appointment?

You can book an appointment with your artist of choice by contacting them directly or you can  swing by the shop for an in-person consultation. In-person consultations are free of charge, and are highly recommended, especially for detailed and or larger scale work. You can also book an appointment by contacting us online via our website, google, yelp, or any of our social media pages. All appointments require a “NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT“ ranging from $60-$100 per person. The deposit is then deducted from the total cost of your tattoo. Deposits can be paid in-person at our shop or via our electronic payment systems (CASH APP, ZELLE, or VENMO).

Contact the shop directly to receive step by step instructions on how to pay your deposit electronically.  

DEPOSIT POLICY

All appointments require a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit. We will allow a one-time courtesy reschedule if it is made at least 24hrs in advance of your selected appointment time. You will automatically forfeit your deposit and not be allowed a one-time courtesy reschedule if the appointment isn’t cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. If you need to reschedule the appointment more than once, you will be required to pay an additional deposit for another appointment.

How do I set-up a piercing appointment? 

Piercings are WALK-IN ONLY. (Mon-Thurs 1-8pm, Fri -Sat 1-9pm, Sundays-CLOSED)

Does getting a tattoo hurt? 

When it comes right down to it, that’s what most people really want to know! Actually, getting a tattoo is not very painful nowadays because modern tattoo equipment is such that the needles go in and out of your skin very quickly. You’ll be completely able to carry on a normal conversation while getting your tattoo.

Do you offer numbing cream?

We sell numbing cream for tattoo services only. It is $30.00 per tube and it must be purchased and applied a minimum of forty-five minutes to an hour before your tattoo appointment. Numbing service is not offered for piercings. 

How much does tattoos cost?

Tattoo prices vary according to the size and tattoo designs. Of course, a larger and more complex design will cost more than a smaller, simpler one – that stands to reason. To give you an idea, relatively simple tattoo designs that are quite small will usually cost shop minimum which is $100. Prices vary though, so the best thing to do is to ask. Bring your design – or just describe it – and we will be able to quote you a price right then and there. In-person consultations are free of charge and are highly recommended.

Is it safe?

At Art Addiction Tattoo Studio we use a totally disposable sanitary tattoo system! Every instrument is new before going into a high pressure, high temperature autoclave for approximately one hour. Everything is disposed of after every tattoo, and the entire area sanitized. Our procedure consists of individually wrapped instruments that are only opened in front of you.

Can I bring my own custom design?

Just about any design you can think of can be made into a beautiful Art Addiction Tattoo Work of Art.  You are more than welcome to bring in your own design or pick one of our hundreds of designs that line our walls. If you already know what you want, great, it is very simple to convey your idea to our artists. The easiest way is with a picture. It doesn't matter what the picture is on (keychain, t-shirt, book, drawing...etc.). Even if you can't draw, our guys still love to do the custom work. Just describe it well or even bring in a stick drawing. We can turn it into your dream tattoo on paper right before your eyes!

Can you fix/cover-up a bad tattoo I have?
Our artists have an extensive portfolio of cover-ups and is considered exceptional in this area. Cover-ups require a special skill level. A consult is typically required to determine what imagery is necessary to adequately cover the old work.
