Frequently Asked Questions *
How old do I need to be to get tattooed?
You must be at least 18 years old. A photo ID is required. It must be with you at the time of your Appointment. Nikki will not accept a photo of your ID. You must present a state issued ID or Passport. Your ID must have a current photo and can not be expired. You can not get tattooed if you are under 18 under any circumstances. If you are over 18 and do not have ID, you must first obtain proper identification to bring with you to your appointment, it is not possible for anyone to sign on your behalf. A state ID includes a drivers License.
How much do you charge?
Nikki has a minimum price of $100. Nikki prefers to charge by the piece and can give you an estimate during a consultation. Large scale works, she will usually charge $500-$800 for a long session with limited breaks and this can be discussed in further detail during a consultation. If you are someone who can not sit still for long sessions or needs to take frequent breaks, Nikki will then charge an hourly rate of $180 per hour, and Nikki will discuss with you during a consultation how many hours should be booked for each appointment based on the specific design and your personal ability to sit for tattoo.
How do a book an appointment or consultation?
It is preferred to use the tattoo request form on this website. However feel free to contact Nikki on her Instagram. For less back and forth, let her know what you want to get done/ where on your body/ when you are available to come in.

Can I bring my friends?
If you need to bring someone for moral support, please bring no more than 1 person who is at least 18 years of age. Please do not bring small children. Nikki wants to focus her attention on you and your new permanent artwork.
How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?
Please eat a good meal before you come. This way you do not feel hungry or get light headed during your tattoo. Feel free to also bring some orange juice/ small snack especially if you have a history of getting light headed or passing out during tattoo or things like blood work. Please also make Nikki aware of this history. Definitely bring some water for yourself. If you are not feeling well on the day of your appointment or the days leading up to your appointment, just contact Nikki and she will get you rescheduled. You should be well rested and feeling good on the day of your appointment. This topic can be discussed further further during a consultation. As mentioned about do not forget your photo ID.
