Everything you might want to know before your visit — from booking and pricing to aftercare and safety. Still have a question? Reach out any time and we'll help.

We have one of the best selections of artists in San Antonio, covering fine line and single-needle detail, black & grey realism, neo-traditional and bold color, hyper-realism, and fully custom design. Browse our artists' portfolios to find the right match for your idea.
Both. We gladly accept walk-ins on a first-come, first-served basis, but appointments are encouraged so we can set aside time and plan your piece with the right artist. You can request an appointment through our booking form or just stop by.
Pricing depends on size, placement, detail, color, and the time involved. Small pieces may have a shop minimum, while larger custom work is quoted per session or by the piece. The best way to get an accurate quote is to send us your idea and reference images through the booking form so an artist can review it.
For custom and larger appointments we typically take a deposit to hold your time. It goes toward the final cost of your tattoo. We'll confirm the details with you when you book.
You must be 18 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID for a tattoo. Requirements for certain piercings can differ, so please contact us ahead of time if you have questions about age or ID.
  • Get a good night's sleep and eat a solid meal beforehand.
  • Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior.
  • Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed.
  • Bring your ID and any reference images for your design.
Your artist will walk you through full aftercare and answer any questions. In general: keep it clean, follow the wrapping instructions, wash gently with unscented soap, apply a thin layer of the recommended aftercare product, and keep it out of direct sun and soaking water (pools, baths) while it heals. Reach out any time if you're unsure — we're happy to help.
Your safety is our top priority. We use sterile, single-use needles, follow strict sanitation and cross-contamination protocols, and maintain a clean, fully licensed environment well above industry standards.
Absolutely — cover-ups and reworks are one of our specialties. Send us a clear photo of the existing tattoo along with your idea, and an artist will let you know what's possible and recommend the best approach.
