Getting licensed is EASY. Here is everything you need.

at the shop
All stations have power supplies and clipcords.
We supply all your disposables: gloves, paper towels, soap, bibs, bandages, plastic wrap, pertroleum jelly, you name it. We’ve even got needles if you need ‘em. If you need something, don’t hesitate to ask.
If you need something we don’t have, Coalition Tattoo Supply is a 10 minute walk from the shop. You’ll need a license to purchase anything. Directions (google maps).
We do a day-rate of $150/day. At the end of your trip, fill out a Guest Slip and leave the cash in Jeff’s second drawer. Thanks!
We are open from Noon - 7pm. There are often people working later. If you would like to work outside those hours, get in touch with Jeff and we’ll see what we can do. Thanks!
