Tattoo Session Guide

When booking a tattoo by the hour, it’s important to have a realistic idea of what can be completed in a session. The time required depends on size, detail, placement, and skin type. Below is a general breakdown to help you plan your appointment:

Half Day- 3 to 4 Hours

Perfect for:

  • Small to medium-sized tattoos

  • Touch-ups or adding to an existing piece

  • First-time clients easing into bigger projects

Full Day- 6 to 8 Hours

Perfect for:

  • Large-scale work (back pieces, sleeves, etc.)

  • Realism or detailed designs

  • Starting or continuing long-term projects

    Other Factors That Affect Timing:

  • Detail & Complexity – The more intricate the design, the longer it will take.

  • Placement – Areas with more curves or sensitive skin may take extra time.

  • Skin Type – Some skin types take ink differently, which can impact session time.

If you’re unsure how many hours to book, reach out with your design idea, placement, and any references. We’ll help estimate the right amount of time for your session.

  • Come Prepared: Eat a full meal before your appointment, stay hydrated, and wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.

  • Be On Time: Arriving late may result in rescheduling or lost tattoo time.
