“Custom Designs”

A custom design is something completely tailored to your dream tattoo. A consult takes place where the artist asks specific questions to narrow down exactly what you’re looking for, or to help you if you aren’t sure! This includes exchanging inspo photos, details, availability, etc., you will be given an estimate on the total cost of your tattoo (hourly), or possibly given a flat rate.

Please remember, your request might not be the style of an artist. “Artist” doesn’t mean a tattooer specializes in every style. If we feel we aren’t the right fit for your idea, we will happily point you in the right direction!

“Flash Designs”

Flash designs are ones we have created for fun and are available to claim at a discounted rate. Our artists post their available flash on their instagram profiles. Flash is available at any date/time, but we offer deeper discounts on our Flash Day events that are every 3rd Saturday of the month (see our Events page for upcoming specials!).

You can inquire about one or multiple flash pieces via our artists’ booking pages!

Flash Day Events - we release new flash sheet designs and offer early bird pre-booking prior to our events, this guarantees your spot, and makes it so that you aren’t waiting in line outside!
We always keep space for walk-ins on these days, but why not take advantage of a good deal?!

Do I have to Book a Consult?

If you want to schedule a flash or custom design for a specific date, or want more information about them, YES!
There are always follow up questions and it is more organized for our artists to do so in one scheduled phone call. You may request an in-person consult during our business hours if you prefer.

Do you do Walk-Ins?

We are an appointment based studio and accept appointments 7 days a week - but YES we do welcome Walk-Ins from Wed-Sun 11am-6pm.
Walk-Ins are typically fun and impulsive, but we cannot guarantee availability as we can with an appointment - so we recommend going the booking route!

We also have a candy machine with “Get What You Get” designs in it for $100. You have the option to ‘respin” for another design, and all designs are categorized so that you at least have some idea what you’ll get!

What is the Best Way to Contact the Shop/Artists?

Please use the artists’ booking pages to get in contact OR email. We ask you try to refrain from sending DM’s on social media as it can get very disorganized. Thank you!

How much does a Tattoo Cost?

Our artists have a 1 hr minimum at varying rates and also sometimes offer flat rates on designs at their discretion.
Our artists dictate their own pricing, we recommend you book a consult to get an estimate!

At Tempest, our artists try very hard to get the most accurate estimate possible for your tattoo when charging hourly rates - but details, size, location on the body, etc., are some of the many factors that can add or deduct time from the total and we pride ourselves on open communication regarding this.
Tattoos may be a luxury service, but we appreciate your hard earned money just as much as we appreciate our time. Estimates are just that - estimations.

What Forms of Payment do you take?

We offer cash, debit, credit, e-transfer, and Afterpay!
Yes, you heard us - *Afterpay* You can now finance your tattoos with no interest cost or credit check.

Deposits?

When booking a tattoo, we take a 50% deposit of the estimated total (which is deducted from your overall total the day of your appointment). Details listed & explained in your consult.
