Our Policies
booking an appointment
Thank you for your interest in Ink Era Tattoo. The first step in getting a tattoo is to view our artist’s portfolios—either on this website, their linked Instagram & Facebook accounts, or dropping by the shop to go through their printed portfolios—to find the one whose work matches your style. If you are unsure of who would be the best artist for your type of tattoo, please feel free to email us or call the shop at 262-800-3007 and we can help you.
TATTOO CONSULTATIONs
The next step is to reach out directly to the artist that you are interested in working with to set up a free consultation. Feel free to call the shop or message them via the email or social media listed on their individual pages. He or she will get back to you to set up a time to meet to go over all of your ideas as well as to answer any questions. Keep an eye on our social media pages for last minute availability.
Piercings
Piercings do not require an appointment nor a consultation; if you have questions, just give us a call before stopping into the shop, and our piercer Robyn will give you availability times and can walk you through the process.
COVID-19 Information
If you are not feeling well, have been in direct contact with someone who has COVID-19, or have allergies or a cold that causes you to sneeze, cough, or blow your nose, please reschedule for the safety of other clients and our staff.
Pricing
TATTOO PRICING
The hourly rate of each tattoo artist ranges from $100 to $150 per hour. To determine the cost, various aspects such as the tattoo size, detail, as well as the placement of the tattoo will be taken into account. Small, single-session tattoos are charged a flat rate; large-scale multiple-session tattoos will be priced hourly. When it comes to large-scale work (including sleeves, chest panels, and back panels, etc.), determining the exact cost can be challenging; we will do our best to estimate the number of sessions it might take to finish the piece. Please be aware that the time it takes to complete your tattoo is affected by overall body & skin health, placement, and ability to withstand the discomfort of a tattoo. Payment for multiple sessions is charged at the conclusion of each session.
PIERCING PRICING
Piercings range from $25 to $120 per piercing. Standard jewelry is included; upgrades are available.
NON-REFUNDABLE / NON-TRANSFERABLE RETAINERS
A minimum of (but not limited to) a $50 non-refundable, non-transferable retainer is required to reserve your tattoo appointment date & time with your artist, and is required if the artist produces any designs or digital mockups. The retainer goes toward the cost of the tattoo; applied to the session upon completion. Additional retainers will be required to book additional appointments. Please arrive within 15 minutes of your appointment time. Arriving more than 15 minutes late to an appointment will also result in a forfeited retainer and must be rescheduled.
NO CALL / NO SHOW
If you do not come to your appointment, your retainer is forfeited, and another retainer is required to book another appointment.
CANCELLATIONS
Cancellations must be provided at least 48 hours before your appointment time. If you cancel your appointment with less than a 48-hour notice, your retainer will be forfeited, and another retainer will be required to book another appointment with your artist.
RESCHEDULING
If a minimum notice of 48 hours has been provided, you will need to reschedule your new appointment within 30 days of your original appointment date to avoid forfeiture of your retainer.
DESIGN CHANGES
If you need to make any significant changes to your design, we require a 48-hour notice in order to keep your retainer for this appointment.
