Everything a first-timer actually needs to know — what a free consultation covers, what to bring, what it feels like, and what happens after — before you book anything.

Getting a tattoo for the first time
What a free consultation covers
30 minutes with your artist: your idea, placement and exact price agreed before anything else. No deposit, no obligation.
What to bring
Any reference — a photo, a Pinterest board or a rough sketch — plus a rough idea of placement and size.
What it costs
Tattoos start at $100, with honest ranges by size. Your exact price is finalized at the free consultation, before any deposit.
What happens after
You leave with a simple aftercare plan. If healing ever looks off, call the studio.

Getting a piercing for the first time
Needles only, never guns
Piercing guns crush tissue and can't be properly sterilized — they never touch skin here.
Titanium included by default
Implant-grade titanium is the default jewelry, included in every price, not sold as an upgrade.
Does it hurt?
Honest answer: a piercing is a few seconds of sharp pinch. Our piercing team has done 2,914+ of them — you're in practiced hands.
Walk in or book ahead
Walk-ins are welcome with slots every 30 minutes, or lock in a slot online.

Questions, answered
How much does a tattoo cost?
Tattoos at Foenix Ink start at $100. Small pieces run from $100, medium custom work $200–$500, large pieces $500–$1,000, and full-day sessions $750–$1,200 — your exact price is finalized at a free consultation.
How much is a piercing?
Most piercings start at $50 — earlobe, cartilage, nose, belly, facial and surface. Lip and oral piercings start at $70, microdermals at $80, and implant-grade titanium jewelry is included in every price.
Do you pierce with a gun?
Never. We pierce with single-use needles only — piercing guns crush tissue and can't be properly sterilized.
Do I have to tip? How much?
Tips are never required, but they’re appreciated — 15–20% is customary in the US if you love your result. No one at the studio will ever make it awkward.
Ready when you are.
