Gallery Ink FAQs

We do accept walk-ins, but it would be better to call the shop in advance to see if we have any space available. We generally work by appointment at our tattoo parlor.

Yes. Consultations are free and recommended. You will meet with your artist on a set date and time for approximately 30 minutes in order to review your vision as well as its location, size, and details. If your tattoo appointment isn’t already booked, your tattooist will schedule it by the end of your consultation. It is also not uncommon for your artist to request you put down a deposit at this time in order to hold the spot. Contact our tattoo shoppe today to learn more.

The cost of your tattoo will depend on its size, location, amount of detail, and the time needed to complete it. Pricing starts at $100 (shop minimum) for smaller tattoos and goes up from there. For larger projects, pricing is determined by the length of the session and whether the tattoo is black and gray or color. Sessions are priced according to your artist’s hourly rate, which can vary anywhere between $100-$175 an hour at our tattoo shop.

Please contact your artist directly in order to be added to their respective waitlist. We understand you may want to get in as soon as possible, but please be flexible when booking with the artists at our tattoo parlor.

Yes. Call Gallery Ink, our piercing and tattoo shop, for pricing and hours.

Yes. If you have a piece that you are no longer a fan of, we would be happy to make it into something you’re thrilled about. According to Gitnux, nearly 50% of people with tattoos feel their body ink makes them feel unique. This is the exact sensation we want all of our clients to leave our shoppe with. Contact one of our artists directly to discuss and plan out your cover-up process. Consultation prior to the appointment is required at our tattoo shoppe.

The use of antibiotics shortly before getting your tattoo or during the healing stage will likely affect the integrity of the tattoo and is not recommended. Try to avoid taking antibiotics within 30 days before and 30 days after getting a new tattoo. Contact our tattoo shop and speak with your physician to learn more.

Pain threshold varies from person to person. That said, getting a tattoo typically does hurt. The pain is manageable to many, but some areas of the body are more sensitive than others. We highly recommend applying a numbing product to these areas and allowing it to set prior to coming in for your appointment. For your convenience, we offer a numbing service. Ask your artist at the tattoo shoppe if you would like this applied.

We ask that you limit your visitors to only one extra person with you in the studio. Contact your artist directly to see if we can accommodate an exception in special circumstances. No one under the age of 18 is allowed in the tattoo shop, including the lobby and bathrooms, unless they are being serviced.

Please do not drink alcohol or use any type of blood-thinning OTC medication (such as Ibuprofen and Aspirin) within 24 hours of your appointment. Please also refrain from prolonged exposure to the sun or a tanning bed during the two weeks leading up to your appointment (as well as the two weeks following it). Get a good rest the night before, eat a full meal the day of, and drink lots of water before coming into our tattoo parlor. We also recommend that you wear loose, comfortable clothing that will limit obstruction to the area which we will be tattooing.
