"Incredible."

Delvirus is the man. Executed my tattoo perfectly and I get compliments on it all the time. Detail and shading is incredible. It was my first “visible” tattoo so I was a little nervous but was so happy with the result and wear tank tops just to show it off. Affordable as well.

"Great!"

Great! Got a tiny tatt and they helped with a coverup at the same time! –Madeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book an appointment?

Booking is easy! Once you’ve picked the artist you’d like to work with, just stop by the shop, give us a call, or shoot us a message through our contact form or social media. Be sure to include a description of your tattoo idea, any reference images, and your preferred date/time. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible to confirm and set everything up.

What’s your age policy for tattoos?

You must be at least 18 years old to get tattooed at any of our shop. We require a valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or government-issued ID). Even with parental consent, we do not tattoo minors—no exceptions. It’s all about safety and staying in line with the law.

How much does a tattoo cost?

Prices vary depending on the size, complexity, placement, and the artist. We do have a shop minimum, and larger custom pieces are usually priced by the hour. For an accurate quote, we recommend a consultation (which is totally free!).

Can I get a quote before coming in?

Absolutely! You can send us a detailed message with your idea, placement, size, and some references. Or, better yet, book a consultation with one of our artists. We also offer virtual consults if you can’t make it in person.

Do you take walk-ins?

Yes! We welcome walk-ins daily on a first-come, first-served basis. Availability depends on the day and how booked our artists are, so your best bet is to give us a call or stop by early.

Does it hurt?

Yep—it stings a bit. But it’s a manageable kind of pain, and most people say it’s worth every second. Plus, your body releases endorphins during the process, so it’s not all bad!

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

Initial healing usually takes 2 to 3 weeks, but full skin regeneration can take a couple of months. During that time, proper aftercare is key to keeping your tattoo looking fresh and vibrant.

How do I take care of my new tattoo?

Don’t worry—we’ll walk you through everything after your session and send you home with detailed aftercare instructions. If you ever have questions, we’re just a call or DM away.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Secure Payments Only: We use Square for all deposit payments. Make sure you see our official logo on the invoice.

Stay Safe: We'll never ask for payments through any other platform. If anything seems off, get in touch with us right away.

Do I need to leave a deposit?

Yes, we may require a deposit to secure your appointment. This deposit goes toward the total cost of your tattoo and is non-refundable and non-transferable. It helps us block off your time and prep your custom design.

How should I prepare for my tattoo session?

Eat a good meal beforehand and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol at least 24 hours before your appointment—it can thin your blood and affect the tattoo process. Wear comfy clothes and try to relax. You’re in good hands, and we’ve got you covered.

Do you offer private or off-site sessions?

In most cases, we work in-shop only, but for special projects or collaborative events, we may offer private sessions. Just reach out to discuss options.
