FAQs

So… where do you Tattoo?

I co-own Fear City Tattoos in Kamloops BC Canada with 3 of my friends. We’re a private space located in one of the oldest buildings in downtown Kamloops. We are a safe and inclusive place for anyone. You can see more about Fear City Tattoos if you follow this link.

How much do you charge?

I like to charge by the piece, my flash usually ranges between $200-$500 depending on size and placement. For larger stuff that needs a more hourly rate, I have a minimum of $200 for the first hour and $150/hr after that. I try and be very fair with what I charge and am always willing to chat about budgets and make things work. I also offer a day rate of $600, which is usually about 5hrs of tattooing, here’s the catch… if you tap out after an hour it’s still $600 so only ask for the day rate if you know you can sit.

Touch-ups… what’s the deal?

Yes, I absolutely touch up my work. Healing tattoos is tricky and I stand by my work. I charge a $20 touch-up fee to cover supplies, you’re not paying for my time again. Or if we’re doing another tattoo it’s free as I have all the supplies out already. I just ask you to mention that in the booking so I can allocate the time.

Deposits?

I usually don’t take deposits, just be there. Or give me as much warning as you can so I can try to rebook something else. If you continuously no-show I’ll probably start asking for one. But the best solution is to just not be that person.

Anything you won’t tattoo?

I won’t tattoo racist or hate-filled imagery. I’ll do a bad job ;) I will also avoid cultural imagery that has no history in tattooing. This stuff is meaningful and unless I have good understanding of it and its meaning and significance I don’t feel like I should be the tattooer to do it. But we can always talk about it and if I’m not the guy I can recommend a tattooer more suited for the tattoo.

Well, after all that.. how do I book in?

Easy! I like keeping things fun and easy, I usually only allow people to book 1-2 weeks in advance (out of towners or serious planners can book earlier) but this way we can get that tattoo you're excited to get done much sooner rather than 6 months down the road. So just head here and let's make it happen!
