Booking

Typically, we conduct email consultations, which can be easily arranged. However, on occasion, we extend an invitation for an in-person meeting to delve into more detailed discussions.


Here is how to get started:

Step 1

Study our tattoo style thoroughly. Then review our portfolio again to ensure that your tattoo idea aligns with our style and that we can accurately bring your vision to life. This is crucial! We specialize in IREZUMI and are deeply committed to delivering exceptional results, which is why we are highly selective with our designs.

F.A.Q.

  • What time your studio is open? Can I walk in?

    We work by appointments only, NO walk-ins. Our studio is open everyday but Wednesdays.



    Tattooing always: 11 am – 4 pm

  • Can we discuss my tattoo idea by phone/Zoom?

    At our studio, we specialize exclusively in custom work, which means that detailed discussions are necessary to understand your unique vision. To facilitate this process, we typically offer email consultations, which are convenient to set up. However, there are occasions when we may invite you to visit us in person for a more in-depth discussion.



    Unfortunately discussions over the phone or through Zoom are not supported.



  • I would like to estimate the total price of my tattoo before my discussion. Could I call or email you?

    Full price for tattoos cannot be quoted over the phone or email, as it depends on various subjective factors such as the actual size, body location, amount of details, and technical requirements involved. The amount of time needed to complete a project can be roughly estimated after a detailed discussion of the design, not earlier. Sometimes, it may not make sense to estimate the total price due to the time frame required to finish a multisession tattoo, where healing breaks may need to be increased to stabilize the budget.

  • What is the typical cost of a Japanese full sleeve tattoo?

    Unfortunately, it is difficult to provide an exact total price for a tattoo sleeve. Each person's body reacts differently to the tattooing process, and the design itself may vary in complexity. Additionally, factors such as skin type and healing time can impact the overall cost. Estimates can only be provided after a detailed discussion and assessment of the design. Some sleeves may require 15 hours of work, while others may take up to 35 hours to complete.

  • What to do if I don’t need a consultation, I just have one simple question about tattoo.

    Most simple questions can be answered by email though, in any case basic information required to be able to answer any question about tattoo. To simplify this process, first of all you’ll be asked to submit a consultation form.

  • I’ve never get tattooed before, what is the process? How can we start?

    We specialize in creating custom tattoos, so we require a detailed discussion of your tattoo idea before getting started. To ensure that your idea is feasible, we ask that you provide a brief description and reference images for review. If the idea is workable, we will schedule a thorough discussion to further develop the design. If both you and the artist are in agreement, we can then schedule your first tattoo appointment to begin the process.

  • I have filled out your discussion request form, but I have yet to receive a response.

    We strive to respond to all inquiries within 4-5 days, but occasionally messages may be missed due to incorrect email addresses or other factors. If you believe you have been waiting too long for a response, please reply to the confirmation email you received after submitting your form to notify us. Additionally, be sure to check your Junk Mail folder before reaching out to us. Thank you for your understanding.

  • What is the current waiting time for booking a tattoo appointment? Can you provide information on the length of your waiting list?

    Actual waiting time between your tattoo discussion and the actual first tattoo appointment depends on actual demand and can vary. Usually it’s up to 4-5 months.

  • Do I need to make a payment in order to discuss my idea?

    If your idea fits well with our aesthetic, we will schedule a thorough discussion and ask for a nominal processing fee to confirm your commitment. Please note that this fee is non-refundable, even if the proposed project does not proceed. However, any subsequent project discussions will not require additional fee payments.

  • Do I need to provide a deposit before moving in? Are there any specific payment arrangements or agreements that need to be signed before I pay my security deposit?

    Yes, before booking your first tattoo appointment, it is important to carefully read and agree to our deposit and cancellation policy. A deposit of $500 (plus transaction fee) must be paid online through a payment link provided. This deposit secures your appointment and allows you to choose a date for your tattoo session. Please note that appointments cannot be booked without the required deposit.

  • Is there a way to expedite the process and begin my project ahead of schedule?

    Creating a custom tattoo design is a time-consuming process, and there are other customers waiting ahead of you in the queue. This means that each tattoo design may not be ready until 1-2 weeks before your appointment. However, if you're looking for a quicker option, you can choose a design from our flash work collection.

  • When will my tattoo design be ready and how can I view it?

    When you schedule your first tattoo appointment, you will be asked to provide photos and basic measurements of the body part to be tattooed. About 1-2 weeks before your appointment, you will receive a tattoo Photoshop mockup via email. This mockup will display the line work of your design on a photo or 3D model in an approximate position. At your first appointment, the artist will make any necessary adjustments to the design and finalize the placement. Shading and coloring will be added gradually over subsequent appointments, starting around the 3rd or 4th session.

  • Can I book a few appointments ahead?

    Yes, this is the most effective method for scheduling appointments for extensive tattoo projects. However, due to the current high demand, appointments can only be booked individually. Once the date for your initial tattoo appointment is selected, you will receive a self-scheduling link that allows you to choose all of your subsequent appointment dates at your convenience.

  • What is the recommended break between tattoo appointments?

    The time period between your tattoo appointments is considered a 'healing break,' which your body needs for proper healing. The actual healing time is individual and subjective, so we recommend taking at least a 3-4 week break. In most cases, this is long enough to ensure that the skin in the tattooed area is ready for more ink.

  • What is a typical length for each tattoo session?

    The average tattoo session typically lasts around 4 hours. Longer sessions are not recommended as they can be too stressful for the body and may impede proper healing. For clients traveling from out of state, we offer "double-sessions" which consist of two consecutive days of 4-hour sessions. While this option can still be taxing on the body, it significantly reduces the number of trips needed for completion.

  • Can I cancel my appointment?

    No. But you can still reschedule your appointment once if needed. However, please provide at least 72 hours notice. Failure to do so will result in the loss of your deposit, with no exceptions. Additionally, the new appointment must be booked within 30 days. After this period, a new deposit will be required to schedule your appointment.

  • Can I postpone my project?

    The All Set tattoo project can be postponed for up to a year, though our rates may change during that time. If your project is exceeding your planned budget and that is the main reason for postponing it, we recommend starting your project as scheduled but increasing the breaks between your sessions. We suggest 3-4 week healing breaks, which can be extended if needed. This will help spread out your budget and make payments more manageable.

Simply complete an application, and we will then determine the next steps.
