Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a tattoo cost in Brooklyn?

Tattoo pricing varies with size, placement, detail, style, design preparation, and the amount of working time involved. For a useful quote discussion, provide your idea, approximate dimensions, body placement, and reference material.

What should I send when asking about a tattoo appointment?

Include the subject, approximate size, body placement, preferred style, and any references that help explain what you like. For a cover up, add clear current photographs of the existing tattoo. For a portrait, send the sharpest source images available.

Can I get a tattoo if I only have a rough idea?

Yes. You do not need to have a finished drawing before making an inquiry. Explain what parts of the idea are important to you and what parts you are open to changing so the project can be discussed productively.

How small can a fineline tattoo be?

That depends on the design rather than a single minimum measurement. Closely packed lines, tiny text-like features, and detailed imagery need enough room to remain distinct. A simpler version or a slightly larger size may be recommended when the original concept contains too much detail for the proposed scale.

What makes a good reference photo for a portrait tattoo?

Look for a sharp image with visible facial features, useful contrast, and an expression that represents the person the way you want. Avoid relying only on tiny, blurry, heavily filtered, or distant photographs when clearer images are available. Providing several photographs can sometimes add useful information.

Can an old tattoo always be covered?

Not every old tattoo can be covered by every new design. Darkness, color, size, placement, line density, and the available surrounding space all affect the options. Send current, well-lit photographs before assuming that a particular cover up concept will work.

Do you serve clients outside Bedford-Stuyvesant?

The stated service area includes Clinton Hill, Crown Heights, Bushwick, Williamsburg, East Williamsburg, and Brownsville in addition to Bedford-Stuyvesant. These are service-area descriptions and do not represent staffed public offices in each neighborhood.

What should I confirm before booking a piercing?

Confirm the type of piercing, availability, identification requirements, jewelry options, pricing, and appointment policies before booking.
