• Single session: 1-2 tattoos

• Half day: 1-5 tattoos

• Full day: 1-8 tattoos

Zach does not charge per hour, rather per tattoo or session. The price for individual pieces varies, whereas half days and full days have a capped price.

We do not show final designs for tattoos until the day of your booking however we do offer consultations prior to your booking.

During a consultation, Zach will show you how he will design and place the tattoo and, for first timers, walk you through the process of getting tattooed.

For large scale pieces such as full sleeves and/or back pieces, we like to do two consultations before the booking.

There are a few things to keep in mind when getting tattooed, especially if you’re getting large scale work.

If you’re coming in for a half day or full day session, we recommend having a big breakfast before coming and drinking plenty of water. This can help your body cope with the process of getting tattooed.
You’re also welcome to bring snacks with you to your session.

It’s important that you do not drink alcohol the night before getting a tattoo. Alcohol is a blood thinner and will affect the tattoo as well as the healing process.

Make sure not to get sunburnt on the area where you would like your tattoo.

You need to make sure you take good care of your tattoo, especially during the healing process.
