Bring along your drinks and snacks (and a mate if you want to), kick back, relax and watch your idea come to life.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much are you small tattoos?
Pricing for small tattoos depends on size, placement and design. Our artists will give you a clear, personalised quote during your consult (but as a guide, smaller tatts start at $150).
How long does a small tattoo take?
Most small tattoos are finished under an hour, but timing depends on your design, colour, placement and your need for breaks. Your artist will guide you on what to expect.
What is the best place for a small tattoo?
It comes down to your style and comfort. Popular spots for a small tattoo include wrists, ankles, behind the ear and ribs, but your artist can help you choose the perfect placement.
Do you offer touch-ups for small tattoos?
Absolutely. If your small tattoo fades over time (especially in the first few months), we’ll discuss touch-up options to keep it looking fresh and flawless.
