SAME-DAY APPOINTMENTS are not walk-ins. Some shops have you call to schedule a spot for the day. That is an appointment, not a walk-in. We do not offer same-day appointments. If you want a guaranteed appointment time, you must schedule online or in person for the next day or beyond.
WALK-INS are exactly what they sound like. Walk in to the shop during regular business hours to get on the waitlist for the day.
Your design or ours. Pick something off the wall, try the get-what-you-get machine, ask for something to be drawn up, or bring in your idea.
Walk-ins are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Showing up early in the day is the best chance for availability and lower wait times.
Availability varies based on the number of people already in line, the size of the tattoos, and the number of tattooers working that day.
We do not add people to the walk-in list or estimate wait times over the phone. Since availability can change by the minute, you must come into the shop to check wait times and/or get on the list for the day.
If you do not answer when we call/text you back for your turn, we will move on to the next person in line.
When we call you back to the shop, you may still have to wait 30 minutes or more. This is to give you time to get to the shop, fill out paperwork, speak to a tattooer, pick a design, etc.
Wait times are often estimated so you can go do other things, but return times are not guaranteed. If we tell you "around 4PM" that doesn't always mean you will walk straight to the chair at 4PM.
The cut-off for the walk-in list is 1 hour before posted closing time. If there is nobody left on the walk-in list 1 hour before close, we may close up early. If there are people on the list and/or we are working on tattoos, we may close anywhere from 1-4 hours late.
While we make every effort to get to as many people as possible on the list, we may not get to everyone. We will only call if we are able to get you in. We do not call everyone remaining on the list when we are done for the night. If you haven't gotten a call back by 7 or 8PM, it is safe to assume we were unable to get you in.
The walk-in list does not roll over to the next day. The list starts over each day. If you want to try again, swing by and put your name down.
