Are you looking for custom work or a flash piece?

Flash pieces are pre-designed, existing artwork made available by Shannon. Custom work is when you would like a design created just for you.

Approximate size in inches?

Where on the body?

Custom Work

Colour or Black & Grey

What sort of style?

*If you are wanting your tattoo on your hand, foot, elbow or knee a $50 fee will be charged if a touchup is required at a later date* These are known as problematic areas for solid healing as they get a lot more daily abuse than other body parts. SOMETIMES they heal without any issue, but touchups are not uncommon for these areas (sometimes several, depending on the person).

Please upload any reference photos you may have

**please note that these are for reference ONLY and will be used for inspiration to create a piece that is 100% original for you. It feels icky copying other artist’s work or having AI ‘design’- let the artist do what they do best :) **

Is this a coverup, rework, going over scar tissue or around any moles?

If it is a coverup/rework/going over scar tissue/around moles, please provide a well lit photo of the existing tattoo/scar/area with moles

**Please note that an in person appointment may be required to further assess and trace the area before you can be provided with a quote.**

When can I expect to hear back?

Thank you for your interest in getting a tattoo from us! We typically respond to requests at the beginning of every week on Sunday or Monday. We'll respond directly to you via email and offer you a handful of possible dates to get tattooed. We'll accompany that with an approximate quote on roughly how long the tattoo will be expected to take (with Shannon’s rate of $160/hr)

If you accept any of the dates we send you, a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $100 is required to hold the date. This will come off the cost of your final tattoo session. You'll have 24 hours to place a deposit after dates are offered. After 24 hours the dates will be made available to other clients. Tattoo dates do not get held without a deposit, nor can any design start without having a date to design for.

Please note that a deposit may be withheld if an appointment is rescheduled with less than 48 hours notice (it is very challenging filling the time slot with such little notice), if excessive changes to a custom design are requested (often designing is done on personal time and can take longer than the tattoo itself), or if the appointment is rescheduled more than once.

Deposits are valid for 6 months. 

When should I expect to see my design?

When booking it is assumed you have chosen an artist based off the work you have seen posted and trust the process. 
You can expect to receive your custom design the night before/morning of your appointment.

For more extensive designs such as very large pieces or cover ups, a pre-determined date can be set up prior to the appointment to receive a rough concept of the design.

How much do you charge?

Shannon's rate is $160/hr+tax and flash pieces are priced at a flat rate and are somewhat reduced as they are pre-designed and ready to go.

The shop minimum (anything less than an hr) is $120+tax.


Cash and e-transfer are accepted as methods of payment.

Gift Certificates, like deposits, are non-refundable. They can be used like cash in the studio (or for your deposit). Gift Certificates will expire 1 year from purchase date unless stated otherwise.

What should I do to prepare for my tattoo appointment and what should I bring?

Leading up to your appointment, it's helpful to stay hydrated, moisturize, and exfoliate the area. If you plan on being out in the sun prior to your appointment, be mindful of sun exposure. If you are sunburnt, peeling or if you have broken skin you cannot be tattooed until the skin has healed.

For the day of the tattoo, make sure you have something to eat at some point before the appointment. Please stay hydrated and moisturize. It doesn't hurt to bring a drink and something to snack on if need be.

Please dress comfortably for the session and keep in mind the area being tattooed needs to be easily accessible.

We are located in a basement unit and it can sometimes be chilly. A sweater is always a good idea and slippers are encouraged as you will be asked to remove outdoor footwear.

If you are a new client, please be prepared to provide government-issued photo ID. It must be current, have a photo, and include your date of birth.

What is your cancellation policy?

We require a minimum of 48 hours notice to reschedule an appointment. If you cancel or reschedule with less than 48 hours notice prior to your appointment, your deposit may be forfeit,

If you no show, you will have to place another deposit for a new appointment.

If you show up day of with any symptoms of a cold/flu/transmittable illness, or have compromised skin such as peeling skin from a sunburn, rash, broken skin, your appointment will be cancelled and a new deposit will be required to reschedule. (as these are not ideal conditions to be tattooed in and can be rescheduled with 48hrs notice)

Can I bring anyone to my appointment?

We're all for morale support so we don't mind if you bring a friend, as long as they are not interfering with the tattoo process.

Please note this is not an environment for small children, and they will not be permitted in the studio room or unsupervised in the lobby.

Did someone refer you?

If yes, who was it?

Would you like to receive email updates about flash events and other promotions?

Are you using a Gift Certificate?

I acknowledge I have read and fully understand all of the above.
