A few of your

Questions

Everything else, ask us at the consult — it’s free and there’s no obligation to book.

No. Consultations are free and there’s no obligation. A deposit only comes in once we’ve agreed on a design and a date, and it comes off your final session.

Usually two to five weeks depending on the artist and the size of the piece. Larger work gets split across sessions.

When a chair is free, yes — but the good slots go to consults. Message ahead if you can.

Often. Send a clear, well-lit photo of the existing piece with your request and we’ll tell you honestly what’s possible.

Rated 5 out of 5

Sat six hours for a portrait of my dad and never once felt rushed. Nick redrew the sketch twice until it was right.

Aaron’s colour work is unreal. Healed exactly like it looked the day I left the shop.

Cleanest shop in East County. They talked me out of a bad idea and gave me a better one.
