All of our artists accept cover-up projects, when it is possible. The success of the cover-up depends on many factors that would need to be discussed during a scheduled consultation.

Question 10

Is there parking nearby?

Accepted Answer

There is metered street parking from 6am-10pm 7 days a week on Broadway and Halsted. There is also a paid parking garage on Halsted right behind our building, connected to the Halsted Flats. Free street parking is available on nearly all surrounding side streets. If you opt to look for a free parking space on a side street, we ask that you plan ahead to give yourself some extra time to do so, so that it doesn't cut into your scheduled appointment time.

Question 11

Do you offer accommodations for clients with sensory concerns?

Accepted Answer

As a business that employs multiple neurodivergent artists, we are acutely aware of the triggers tattooing/tattoo shops can present for those of us with sensory differences. Loud machines, loud music, smells, etc. and we do our best to keep our space serene and our clients as comfortable as possible.

If you have any concerns of this nature, please let us know when booking your appointment and we'll be happy to work with you as best as we can. You're welcome to wear headphones during your appointment, ask for specific music, or whatever may make you most comfortable.
