HOW DO I BOOK A TATTOO APPOINTMENT?
Our studio books open monthly on the first Friday of each month at 12PM CST (unless otherwise notified). The booking form will be available via https://venue.ink/crispyaura.studio and each of the artists' bio. Filling out the form will put you on the list to be contacted for booking in the following month, and you should hear back within 2-3 weeks if your project is chosen. Depending on demand, we may not be able to respond to everyone who submits a form. Whether an artist takes a tattoo request may also depend on if the design, style, and placement you're interested in are something the artist currently offers. If you do not hear back, don't hesitate to submit another request the following month!

DO YOU ACCEPT WALK-INS?
We do not accept walk ins at our shop.

DO YOU DO WEDDINGS OR EVENTS?
Yes, we would love to help bring something unique to your upcoming event! Please submit your event details here and we will be in touch https://form.jotform.com/242500389580154

IS THERE A WAITLIST?
If you are hoping to work with a specific artist, any last-minute openings will be announced on their IG stories and shared to the shop's. Otherwise, you can fill out the booking form https://venue.ink/crispyaura.studio and select "first available" - this will allow us to assign your request to artists who may still be accepting bookings for the month, although booking is not guaranteed based on schedule.

DO YOU TATTOO ALL SKIN TONES AND GENDERS?

Absolutely!

WHAT IF I WANT A GROUP TATTOO?

For matching tattoos or if you and your friends just want to book your appointments together, fill out the inquiry form once and include everyone's name, contact info, and tattoo descriptions. We will reach out in a group chat to confirm design, prices, and schedule a combined session. Keep in mind that if it is a larger group, it might be more difficult to find a slot in the schedule. For group tattoos, please limit the tattoos to one per person.

HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST?
The pricing of your piece will depend on the design size, level of detail, placement, and colors if any. This is why it is important to include detailed descriptions in your request form. An estimate will be provided at the time of booking, and final pricing will be determined at appointment time. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work and the client experience, and that is reflected in our pricing. Our artists' minimums range from $150-250 starting rate. Any quote provided is valid for 2 months.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? PARKING?
We are located at 2642 W Chicago Ave with free parking along Chicago Ave. The 66 bus drops you off right in front at Chicago & Washtenaw!

HOW DO PAYMENTS / DEPOSITS WORK? CAN I RESCHEDULE MY APPT ONCE BOOKED?
Please be prepared to submit a non-refundable deposit to hold your appointment at the time of booking. One reschedule is available if notified at least 48 hours in advance, but if notified in less than 48 hours, the deposit will be void, and another deposit will be required to reschedule. If you are more than 15 minutes late to your appointment, the deposit will also be lost. Any no-shows with no prior communication will not get an opportunity to reschedule.

CAN I BRING A GUEST?
Yes, but they will have to wait in the front seating area and not be by the workstations when we start working on the tattoo. This is to limit distractions, ensure everyone's safety, and not disrupt the other artists and clients working around us. Thanks for understanding!

CAN I BRING MY PET?

Unfortunately, we do not allow pets or emotional support animals on the premises due to health code and safety concerns. However, if you have a trained and licensed service animal that needs to be present with you, please notify your artist at the time of booking. We will make accommodations as needed to ensure a comfortable experience for you and your service animal.
