1 / How do I book a tattoo appointment?

Visit our  booking page  to book a professional tattoo appointment with Nostalgia Tattoo. Make sure you carefully read the term and conditions before booking online.

2 / Do I need to put down a deposit for my tattoo appointment?

Yes, at Nostalgia Tattoo we require a $100 deposit for all bookings. The deposit goes towards your full tattoo amount.

3 / Can I see my artwork ahead of time?

Drawings will be shown to you at the time of your appointment. There are many reasons for this:

1. To protect our intellectual property - we have actually had people in the past take our drawings to someone else to tattoo.

​

2. The decision should be yours, and yours alone. In the past when we have given the client the drawing, they have taken it home and showed 10 different people to get opinions, who are not tattoo artists, who are not them. Then we end up with changes to the drawing that do not represent us as artists or them as an individual. Most people end up regretting letting their friends or loved ones make changes to their tattoo. 

​​​

If you show up for your tattoo and don't like your drawing we can makes changes on the spot, If the changes are too much to do on the spot and its a complete redraw, we may rebook you to make sure we have adequate amount of time to execute your  drawing.

If you really don't like the drawing or colors we have chosen we encourage you to speak your mind. We may counter and give you the reasons why we made the drawing/color choices we made, but ultimately the decision is yours.  

4 / How much does a Tattoo at Nostalgia cost?

We charge $170/hr taxes included, with a minimum of $150 that covers anything under 45 minutes. We do not charge for drawing time

​

Flat rate- For larger pieces like sleeves or backpieces it almost impossible for us to predict the exact amount of time it will take so we go by the hourly rate, but for smaller pieces like palm size or less we can usually estimate pretty percisely and can give you a flat rate if you require it.

You must be 18+ to get a tattoo at Nostalgia Tattoo.

6 / What type of payment methods does Nostalgia accept?

We accept cash, e-transfers or paypal as payment for your tattoo.

We require 48 hours notice via the rebook page or via the text reminder we send out 3 days in advance to reschedule your appointment or your deposit will be forfeited. 

Appointments made within the 48 hour cancellation period cannot be rescheduled without losing your deposit. Make sure you are absolutely certain you can make your appointment before sending the deposit.

Yes, We use the best ink available on the market and all three of these brands we use are vegan.

​

If you need us to use something more vegan than vasaline (decayed marine organisms from millions of years ago) please let us know at the time of the appointment, vasaline is the best lubricant to help the needle glide into the skin but there are alternatives.
