  • Please fill out the application form as fully as possible. You will be contacted for an interview and informed of a decision soon after that.

  • There is no set way decisions are made. Rather, it has to do with a series of needs and expectations including whether we feel a tattoo will truly help you heal in the moment and if we have an artist who fits the style of tattoo you want.
