ABOUT THE STUDIO

We currently operate by appointment only, so we do not have set hours for the public. However, we are generally in the studio 11:30am - 6:00pm most weekdays. For any appointment requests, please send us an email.

Tattoos are priced per piece or per project, however, our rates are based off a $200 - $250 +GST/hr rate, depending on the project. Our studio minimum, which covers any tattoo that is 1 hour or less, is $200 +GST.

For a more accurate quote, please submit an inquiry.

We accept cash or e-transfer. ALL prices are +GST, including cash payments. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Deposit amounts range from $100 - $500 +GST depending on the project.

DEPOSIT POLICY: 

A deposit is required to be paid via e-transfer at the time of booking to secure all appointments. Your deposit amount will be deducted from the cost of your final appointment. Please advise your artist of any changes or cancellations to your appointment no less than 48 hours to your appointment date to avoid any cancellation fees.

Late cancellations or no shows will result in the forfeit of your deposit. A new deposit will be required in order to rebook.

All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable.

You are welcome to request a consultation, however this will be up to the artist to decide whether or not one is necessary.

A $20 +GST fee is required to be paid via e-transfer at the time of booking a consultation. This can be used towards a deposit if an appointment is booked during the consultation. If no appointment is booked during the consultation, this will be kept as a consultation fee.

We generally book 1 month in advance. For example: if you are wanting to book your tattoo for May, send us an email in April.

Please allow up to 1 week for a response. If you have not received a response during this time, please feel free to send a follow up. 

Appointments are available for booking Monday - Friday only. This includes stat holidays, except major ones like Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. 

At this time we do not allow our clients to use numbing creams prior to coming in for their appointment.

We do offer numbing in studio, based on the artists discretion, for an additional cost.

If you arrive to your appointment with numbing cream already applied, without the prior approval of your artist, you run the risk of the cancellation of your appointment and forfeit of your deposit.

Please contact your artist prior to your appointment to ask about numbing services.

You will be given verbal and / or written instructions on how to care for your tattoo at the end of your appointment. Please follow all instructions carefully.

Touch ups are free of charge within the first 3 months from your original appointment date. If you inquire for a touch up beyond this time, you will be charged the studio minimum fee. If your tattoo requires a touch up due to your own neglect, at any time, touch ups will be done at a cost.

This is completely up to you and how you feel about your tattoo, and your experience! In Canada, tipping in service industries is considered normal, with most people following the standard tip guide of 15% - 20%. However it is not mandatory or expected. Tips of any kind (monetary or gifts) are always greatly appreciated. 

No. Unfortunately we will not tattoo anyone under the age of 18, with or without parental consent. 

Stephanie Risa specializes in Black and Grey Realism - specifically in florals and portraiture. However, she does take on styles of all kinds, so long as it’s something she feels she can do well.
