Joe's FAQS
How often do your books open?
Currently my books open for custom projects, and flash pieces are posted once a month.
What is your cancellation policy?
I require a minimum of 7 days prior notice if you're unable to make your current scheduled appointment time and want to reschedule. Anything sooner than 7 days prior notice and your deposit is considered forfeit and you will need to place a new one to make a new appointment.
What type of tattoo projects are you looking to take on?
Portraits and realism projects are accepted on a case by case basis. While I do take them on, I am very particular about what I do.
I will not tattoo images that are gang, hatred, or racism related.
What form of payments do you accept?
Deposits can be made via Venmo as I have many clients out of state and stopping by with cash isn't always an option. However, I am CASH ONLY for all procedure costs. There is NO ATM on site so please make sure to grab cash out ahead of time!
How much input do you prefer clients to have on the design process?
Usually a few reference images and any specifics that they have in mind is great.
Do you accept Tips/Gifts/Snacks?
Tips/gifts are always appreciated but not expected.
What Should I know if I have Sensory Issues?
The tattoo machines I use can be quite loud. Please bring noise canceling headphones if needed. Foam ear plugs are available at the shop for those that may need them.
