Pricing & booking

How much does a tattoo popup cost?

Every activation is custom-built. The smallest setup (a single artist for a few hours) starts around $4,000. A full team with custom flash and licensing starts around $8,000. We send a custom proposal within 24 hours.

How many tattoos can you do per hour?

Three to five per artist, depending on the design. With a full crew we typically clear 30-40 an hour.

How far in advance should we book?

Four to six weeks is standard. We can do rush on a case-by-case basis, but the flash sheet and permits need lead time.

Logistics

What permits do you need?

It depends on the city. NY and most private venues: no permits. Miami is around $200. LA runs $1,600 plus a booth fee. We handle all of it.

What space do you need?

10x10 feet for a full crew. 5x10 for a single artist. We need a wash station nearby — that's the legal part.

Do you travel for events?

Yes. We work in LA, NY, and Miami as home cities, and we travel for the right event. 4-6 weeks lead time minimum for destination events.

The night of

Do guests need to sign anything?

Yes. Digital waivers, signed on an iPad or QR code before the tattoo. The host walks them through it. Takes about 60 seconds.

Can guests bring their own designs?

We use curated flash to keep the line moving. If a guest has something specific, the artist can usually adapt it — but we keep the final say on what makes it on the menu that night.

Are the tattoos permanent?

Yes. Real, licensed, permanent tattoos. By licensed artists only.

What if a guest gets too drunk?

The host or hostess monitors. We move them down the waitlist. We never tattoo anyone who shouldn't be tattooed — it's a safety call, not a vibe call.
