Do you do walk-ins?
Occasionally, but Mike primarily works by appointment. Booking in advance ensures you get proper time, a custom design, and a prepared artist. Reach out through the booking form to get started.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Pricing depends on size, complexity, and placement. Mike charges a day rate for larger pieces and a flat rate for smaller work. Pricing is discussed during consultation. Quality tattoos are an investment — the goal is work that holds up for a lifetime.
Can I bring my own design?
Yes. Bring references, sketches, or inspiration images. Mike will take your concept and translate it into something that works well as a tattoo — considering line weight, scale, placement, and longevity. Collaboration is welcome; copying another artist’s work directly is not.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Availability varies. Smaller pieces may have shorter lead times. Large-scale work, sleeves, or back pieces should be booked several weeks to months in advance. Submit your inquiry early and we’ll find the right window.
Will I see the design before my appointment?
Custom designs are typically finalized close to the appointment date. Mike presents the design the day of the session. If major revisions are needed, they’re handled at that time. Trust in the direction agreed upon during consultation is important.
Do you tattoo minors?
No. All clients must be 18 years of age or older. Valid government-issued ID is required at the time of the appointment, no exceptions.
What styles do you specialize in?
Traditional and Black & Gray are Mike’s primary focuses. Both are built on clean lines and lasting saturation — exactly what makes them age well. If you’re unsure whether your idea fits, reach out and ask.
