Question 1

How much does a tattoo cost? What about a sleeve?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the design, placement, size, artist and number of sessions. Large realism projects and full sleeves require a personalized plan. Submit your idea and reference images so our team can explain the expected scope, schedule, deposit and financing options before you commit.

Question 2

Do you accept walk-ins or is it appointment only?

Accepted Answer

We are strictly appointment only so every client receives focused attention and each artist can prepare a custom design for the session.

Question 3

How long does a black and grey sleeve take?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions depends on coverage, detail, placement, skin, healing and the artist's plan. After reviewing your references and photos, our team provides a realistic session estimate and explains the spacing between appointments before you reserve.

Question 4

Do you do small tattoos?

Accepted Answer

We focus on large-scale work but welcome smaller, high-quality pieces that align with our style, including smaller realism pieces and portraits.

Question 5

Do you offer touch-ups?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If an Inknation tattoo needs a touch-up after healing, contact the studio within the first three months.

Question 6

Can I plan my tattoo if I am traveling to New York?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Share your travel dates in the inquiry. The team can review the project remotely, recommend an artist and determine whether consecutive sessions are appropriate before you arrange your trip.

Question 7

How do you choose the right realism artist for my idea?

Accepted Answer

We compare your subject, desired style, placement, scale and references with each artist's real portfolio. The recommendation is based on specialization, not simply the first available appointment.
