Q & A Does a Tattoo Hurt?

Yes.  Depending on your pain tolerance. 

If you cannot find your question/answer here please reach out to us via our text number:  (978) 571-9258

At Mayhem Tattoo, our artists manage their own pricing and schedules. While the shop maintains a $100 minimum at the artists' request, the investment for larger custom pieces is determined by the individual artist based on three primary factors:

  • Design & Preparation: Every piece requires dedicated artistry. Whether your artist finalizes the design at home or collaborates with you in-studio, the goal is perfection before the needle touches skin.
  • Artistry Over Seniority: We prioritize current skill and technical execution over just a "calendar of experience." You are paying for the quality of the art, not just years in the game.
  • Specialization & Efficiency: Specialists often work with greater speed and precision in their specific style. An efficient application often leads to a better heal and a more precise final result.


If you click on the artist's tab, you can look at their portfolios and schedules.  If you click on the book button it will bring you into their calendar.   You can always check with us by calling (603) 912-4724 or texting us at (978) 571-9258.


 

How We Quote Your Project

Accurate quotes require an in-person evaluation. Visit us for a walk-in consultation or use the "Book Appointment" tab to schedule a dedicated time.

  • The Process: Your artist provides a price range during the consultation and a final price once the design is approved.
  • The Artists: Pricing is handled directly by our artists, not the front desk. Artist minimums vary by experience, with a standard shop minimum of $100.


Most artists will talk you into going a little larger not to jeopardize the over life quality of the tattoo.  If the artist says "yes" please be willing to pay for their skill.  Micro tattooing is never priced per the size. 


You love the tattoo, but you finished an hour earlier, should it be less?  For an artist to be quick while tattooing with the same quality is a fantastic skill set.  Why would you pay less for an artist to be faster and cause less trauma and pain to you and your skin?  Artists normally give you a time frame and price based on final design.  


Tattoo Walk-Ins means you walk into the shop. 

When you ask, “Do you take Walkins?” the answer is “Yes.” However, someone could walk in a minute before you.


YES. Deposit blocks of time with the artist so no one else can schedule an appointment during this time. So, if any of the following happens, your deposit can be lost:


1) No show, call, or deposit: The deposit is gone.

2) Reschedule at the last moment: one time can be forgiven (up to the artist), two times gone.

3) The artist cannot tattoo over a rash, open sores, or sunburn-damaged skin: a different area for the tattoo may be an option, but be prepared to be rescheduled, and the deposit may be lost.
 

Artists will be as fair as possible, but this is how we earn a living, and your tattoo is our "pay" and how we support our families and ourselves. 


The deposit will secure the appointment time with the artist.  The deposit will get the artist designing and drawing for the appointment, saving you time sitting while the artist starts from scratch, which ultimately means more tattooing time.   At the end of your appointment, the deposit will be minus the total tattoo price. 



Do you have a question? Artists love to talk!
