- Feet tattoos- Feet tattoos can look really good and many of them hold up well. They will always fade faster because of the wear and tear of feet in general. We will not tattoo on the bottom of the foot, the heel, or the side of the foot. These spots turn blurry after a short amount of time on most people. (and look like you stepped in poop!) Any place that is wrinkly on the foot is usually a heavy wear spot. We try to stick to the top of the foot onto the ankle.
- Toe tattoos- Most of the time we won't do these. There is a rough spot on the knuckles of your toes and that is the heaviest wear spot. If we did tattoo on the toe, it would be on a spot that is not on the knuckle. Toe rings do not hold up. The inside turns blurred and looks like toe lint after a short time.
- Hand tattoos- The backs of the hands and near the thumb is tattooable. We prefer people to have sleeves or heavy tattoo work before getting their hands tattooed. Also, you must consider your job and future. However, hands, like feet, wear faster than most other body parts.
- Finger/knuckle tattoos- We do not generally tattoo rings. They look awful after a short time (sometimes a couple of months) and the underneath fades off leaving a blur on the sides. We do tattoo knuckles (the flat portion of your finger connecting to your hand and before the first knuckle). If you wanted a ring, consider getting something on the top of the finger instead. This will hold up better. All finger tattoos need touch ups from time to time and are harder to heal. On a knuckle, you can usually only fit 1-3 letters max.
Can I get a tattoo on my hand/finger/toe/foot/neck?? FAQ
In the state of NH it is legal to tattoo these body parts... BUT as professionals, we reserve the right to refuse tattoos that will not hold up well or look good. Keep in mind that we want you to be happy and look good, so if you want a tattoo in a spot that won't heal well, we won't do it.
Prices? How much will my tattoo cost?
Our minimum is $70. It's impossible to tell you the exact price without seeing the design. Pricing depends largely on time, detail and size. You might want a tattoo that's very small with a lot of detail that will take twice as long as something much larger but more simple. Some body parts may also contribute to the price. If you want something on your arm, it will be much easier and less time consuming than something on the stomach or ribs, so it will be cheaper.
Our hourly rate is $125 an hour. This is generally only used on very large tattoos. The minimum hourly priced sittings are 3 hours at a time. Most of the hourly tattoos are at least 8 hours or more.

How to get an appointment?
This will help you decide who you want, possibly what you want and howto go about getting it. It will explain the process, and the time. Thanks!
- The first thing you do, is look at our website and see if anyone really interests you. If you want something organic, you might want to choose Stina, Japanese probably Shaun, a warrior probably Erik, and if you'd like to just walk in because you have a design with you often times James or Phil is your best bet.
- After you choose the person, you will then call the shop. 603.431.4657 to set up a consult which normally takes about 20-30 minutes. (or if something basic or not custom, you can WALK IN!)
- If you call and the artist is busy, we WILL call you back! We're with other clients and will call you when we're finished. (which may be a full day!)
- When you show up to your consultation appointment, you MUST be on time. Because they are short time periods, 15 minutes late might mean that the artist no longer has time for you.
- Bring any ideas or photos that you like. Use examples or even do a doodle! These will help the artist envision your idea.
- You will then discuss everything you like, your placement and your tattoo size and colors. You'll fill out a form with your info and the artist will explain to you how deposits work. We take a deposit at the time of the consultation which goes toward the tattoo. It's typically $50, but if you're getting a very large tattoo, you might want to ask the artist ahead of time how much to leave. ( Sleeves are usually $200) These deposits go to the LAST sitting of your tattoo.
- After you speak with the artist and fill out the proper forms, the artist will either give you an actual appointment or an estimated time period for your artwork to be finished. They may ask you to come in to view it, e-mail it to you, or they might have it ready on the day of your appointment depending on your design.
- Time periods for appointments and art vary!! You are put on a list (with other clients!!) and how soon you get your tattoo/design depends on how large your tattoo is, how much detail it has and how much reference we have to do to design it. YOU ARE NOT ALONE on this list! There are other people waiting too! That means we might not even touch your artwork for 3 weeks while we work on other people's!!!
- Generally speaking, it takes a while to design tattoos. We have to look up images, sketch (usually throw it away and redraw it again!) and then do a line drawing. This takes hours. If you're getting a half sleeve, think maybe 10-15 hours. A full sleeve? 20-30 a back piece? 15-30... and that's JUST TO DRAW!
- Each artist has a certain amount of allotted time per week to draw. Since we don't actually get paid to draw, it's like working for free. That's why we each draw for about 6-8 hour a week, only. So if you are getting a large tattoo it may take a couple of months to draw your design.
- After the design is done, we will either e-mail you or see you at your appointment!
