How do I set up an appointment?
To book a tattoo please complete our contact form or feel free to call the shop and see about availability
Do you take walk-ins?
We take walk-ins every day on a first-come, first-served basis and recommend this option for smaller, single-session tattoos. We can’t guarantee tattooer availability or wait times since they will vary day to day based on the amount of walk-ins we
receive. However, we can typically take care of the majority of tattoos that come through the door each day.
What do I need to bring to get a tattoo?
If you are 18 or older, you will need a government-issued ID with your birth date and picture. This can be a driver’s license, state i.d. card, or passport. School and other forms of i.d. are not accepted.
How much will it cost?
Our shop minimum is $80 and our appointment minimum is $100. Most tattoos are priced individually based on size, body placement, and level of detail. Larger tattoos that will take multiple sessions are priced hourly at the rate of $200/hr. It is difficult to give an accurate price estimate without visual reference and exact measurements. Once a design is finalized, the tattooer can give you a price. We suggest talking with your tattoo artist to get an estimate before getting your tattoo and also letting them know if you have a budget you are working with.
What forms of payment are accepted?
We accept cash, cards, and mobile-wallet payments (Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, etc.).
Do I tip my tattoo artist?
Tipping is not required but is always greatly appreciated by your tattoo artist. We recommend tipping like you would any other service professional.
How much are touch-ups?
Touch-ups for tattoos done at SOG Tattoo are complimentary for up to a year. For tattoos not done at SOG or done over a year ago, the cost is dependent on how much work needs to be done on the tattoo.
Can I bring in my own design?
We encourage you to bring in visual references of what you like so your tattooer can get a better sense of what you are looking for. Your reference does not have to be exact and can simply be ideas or examples of styles and things you like for the tattooer to draw from. Or, you can bring in exact designs that you would like replicated. Keep in mind that some things that look great on paper or on a screen do not always translate well as a tattoo. Your tattoo artist can work with your design to make sure it works as a tattoo. We also have hundreds of designs on the walls of the shop and in books behind the counter for you to choose from.
Can you fix my old tattoo?
Typically yes, although it does depend on the tattoo. While we do re-do tattoos and do cover-ups often, each one is unique and might require a different approach. We recommend you speak to one of our tattoo artists in person and let them take a look at the tattoo to see what options are available.
Do you do cover-ups?
Yes, we do. Cover-ups typically need to be darker and larger than the original tattoo. There are certain designs that work better for cover-ups, but having an idea of what you would like to cover it with is suggested. We recommend you speak to one of our tattoo artists in person and let them take a look at the tattoo to see that what the best options are.

How small can my tattoo be?
This depends entirely on the tattoo design and its complexity. Over time, ink gradually spreads. When tattoos are done correctly with enough space between dimensional lines, the expansion of the lines is barely noticeable. If lines are tattooed too close together, the space between them can disappear and they end up looking like one, thicker, blurred line. This is most likely in tattoos with small lettering, details on a
face, other small elements and can make the tattoo less ‘legible’ after several years. Once this happens, it is irreversible. The tattoo artist will let you know if this is a risk for you at your chosen size. With small adjustments to the size or by simplifying the design, we can often give you the tattoo you want that will hold up well over time.
Can I bring a friend?
You are always welcome to bring a friend with you to the shop.
Do you do white tattoos?
We will do white ink in tattoos. However, the longevity and quality of white tattoos cannot be guaranteed. This means that unlike other tattoos done at SOG Tattoo, touch-ups are not included in the price of tattoos done only in white ink. Although white pigment is used in tattoos, it is mostly used for highlights and mixing, not as the main color of a tattoo. White pigment fades and loses its shape more quickly than other
pigments. It can also develop a yellow, brown, or pink tint to it that is irreversible. All of these things can happen within a few weeks of getting the tattoo or sometimes after a longer time has passed. Most of the photos of white ink tattoos you see are taken right after the tattoo is completed and not after it has healed.
Finger tattoos?
We will tattoo the fingers
Can I get tattooed over scars?
It is possible to cover scars with tattoos, but each scar is different. This is definitely a case-by-case situation. The age, size, and type of scarring all make a difference on whether or not covering it with a tattoo is possible. We recommend you speak to one of our tattoo artists in person and let them take a look at the scar to see that what the best options are.
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
Tattoos can be uncomfortable. The level of discomfort can vary from person to person. On average, the discomfort is mild and sometimes described as more annoying than painful. Some people have compared the sensation of getting tattooed to a hot scratch or similar to a sunburn when healing. It is not the same sensation as having blood drawn or getting a shot. Some areas are more sensitive than others on the body and some people take getting tattooed better than other people. If it was unbearable or extremely painful you wouldn’t see so many people with tattoos.
How long will it take?
It depends on the tattoo you are getting. Each tattoo is different, and the amount of time it requires will vary depending on the size of the tattoo, the complexity of the design, how well you sit, etc. The tattoo artist can always give you a ballpark time estimate once the design, size, and location have been chosen.
Do you have vegan ink?
Our tattooers tattoo with brands listed as vegan such as Eternal and Solid ink. When you are signing in for the tattoo, please let the counter and tattoo artist know that you only want vegan inks used. This will ensure that the artist sets up correctly for your tattoo. We highly recommend you do your research on brands of ink labeled vegan. While we can guarantee only Solid Ink or Eternal brand inks are used in a tattoo, because we do not manufacture them, we cannot guarantee they are animal product-free.
