We take deposits for every appointment set. They are non-refundable and used to solidify the appointment when you set it. The deposit amount will be applied to the final price of the tattoo at your final session. You must call the shop and speak to someone within 48 hours of your appointment to reschedule if needed. If you fail to show up for your appointment or call to reschedule within 48 hours, your deposit will be forfeited.

We are no longer offering piercings or jewelry at Depiction.

We usually work by appointment only, but we do occasionally post on our Facebook page if an artist has a cancellation or open spot for a day.

Yes, our shop minimum for a small tattoo is $150. But we also have a “Get What you Get” deal for $80. (random tattoo design from gumball machine)

Depiction can work work with people all over the world. By working with our customers online as well as in our studio we can send designs to anywhere in the world instantly. Don’t let distance keep you from working with us on your next custom tattoo concept.

Usually how our process works is you will take a look through the portfolios and pick an artist, then fill out our online consultation request form: https://www.depictiontattoo.com/request-a-consultation then we can set up a 20-30 minute consultation for you to come in, sit down and talk to the artist about what exactly you are wanting. At the consultation you will set up the appointment and put a deposit down for the tattoo. Consultations are always free at Depiction! Our goal with every consultation is to get the complete picture of what your tattoo will be so that we can give you the best pricing, estimate the amount of time or number of sessions it will take as well as to ensure that we can prepare the best possible design for your new tattoo. FOR PIERCINGS, PLEASE NOTE: Our piercer Megan works every Wednesday through Saturday. She only uses American made titanium and gold jewelry. She will not pierce anyone under 5 years old. All minors must have their birth certificate and the parent's valid ID. The parent must accompany the minor while the piercing is being performed.

Yes, definitely. It it highly recommended to eat within 1-2 hours of being tattooed. Having stable blood sugar bolsters your immune system and helps the body deal with the fluctuation of endorphins, which are emitted during the tattoo process.

If taken care of properly, the healing process takes around 2 weeks.

No, all drawings must stay in shop until the appointment. We do not send out or allow pictures to be taken of drawings or tattoos. Unless otherwise stated by the artist, designs usually aren't drawn up until a day or so before the appointment. However, there is plenty of time on the appointment date to make any changes needed to a design prior to tattooing.

How much is a bag of groceries? How much is a car? It depends. For larger pieces we charge hourly. Pricing varies depending on size, placement and amount of detail. Depending on style, a sleeve can take anywhere from 4-10 sessions. The best way to get accurate pricing would be to set up a consultation to speak with the artist about your design ideas. Click the CONTACT link to send us a message.

The first step is filling out the contact form and sending us the description of your custom tattoo design. It’s ok if you don’t have a specific idea or if you don’t have it planned to perfection; we will work with you to plan everything out from beginning to end. Once we receive your email we will custom quote you’re design and determine the correct size and send you a follow up email with a link to the corresponding deposit page. Once we quote your design and you make the appropriate deposit we will select the best artist for your design and have them contact you. Your Depiction Tattoo Gallery Artist will contact you with any questions they might have and you’re off! You will work one on one until your design is perfect.

If one of our artists did the original tattoo (and wasn’t a finger tattoo) we can touch up the tattoo for free. If an artist who does not work at Depiction did the original tattoo, we would charge accordingly.

Probably. Tattoo cover ups depend on the tattoo you currently have and what your ideas for covering it up with. Flexibility is important when it comes to getting a cover up done - The artist will take your ideas and let you know options that will work the best. For cover ups, start by emailing the shop with a current image of the tattoo that you are wanting to cover up. Also, send over any images and a brief description of your idea(s) that you want to cover it up with.

Yes we can! Again this is a Custom issue, Please send us a request form and we will guide you through the process helping you with your cover piece. We will need one or several clear pictures of the current tattoo.

All the design prices are broken down by size; Small, Medium, Large and Large Custom. You can find the prices under the How It Works tab and use them as a guideline.

We are also the only place in the world that designs large, XL and full sleeve designs.

If you’re wanting a tattoo with only white ink, we can do it but want to ensure our clients understand how they heal. White ink can stay white, but most of the time it fades completely or turns yellow as it ages. We would recommend black or another color.

No. You must be over 18 years of age to get a tattoo, even with parental consent.

Yes we do, but we first make sure clients understand that fingers and hands heal differently than other parts of the body. The fingers fade especially quickly and sometimes the ink falls out completely. The skin on your hands is just different and replenishes itself more often. We cannot guarantee finger tattoos, which means we would not do free touch ups, like we do with other tattoos.

We only accept government issued picture IDs such as drivers licenses, passports, military IDs and state issued IDs. If you do not have a drivers license you are able to go to your local DMV and apply for a state issued ID for a small fee. We do not accept birth certificates or school IDs.

Depiction Tattoo Gallery has compiled the best talent from all over the world. Each Designer has their own strength, style and experience; we match you up with artists based on your Custom Tattoo Design needs. We have the top international tattoo artist from all around the world.

Nope.

You must bring a valid government issued ID to every appointment, even if you have been in the shop before or are working on a tattoo that has already been started. It is also recommended to bring a drink and a snack.

After you submit your design our artist/team will contact you to discuss layout, references and anything else they may need to get started. After receiving your initial sketch, we will get your personal feedback and make any changes necessary to start on the final drafts. We do not promote mass production but rather make sure every customer is 100% satisfied; based on the size and amount of revisions we take however long is needed.

No. Getting tattooed while pregnant or breast-feeding has the possibility of complications to your health and the health of your baby.
