FAQ + Policies

I want a tattoo! How do I book?

If you’d like a tattoo please fill out my contact form and please include your tattoo idea, size and placement on the body, when you’re looking to schedule and budget if applicable.

How far out can I schedule my appointment?

Usually ~3 months out at most. I usually like to keep my booking windows within 2 months if possible.

Where are you?

Monochrome Tattoo at 1146 Mckean St. Philadelphia, PA, 19148 USA

Where can I park?

Street parking is scattered and unpredictable. I am sorry.

Is my deposit refundable?

No- deposits are not refundable and all deposits are good for one reschedule if made at least two weeks in advance or due to medical reasons. If you change your custom idea or cancel for any other reason within 2 weeks of your appointment date you will be expected to pay another deposit to rebook.

What is your pricing like?

It depends on the design, sizing and placement but generally speaking my minimum is $200 except on flash days and extra small simple tattoos.

Do you accept card?

No, I don’t have a card reader on site, payment on the day of is cash only. There is an ATM a block away.

Do you barter?

Totally depends on what the barter is! I have been open to partial barters, let me know!

Can I bring a friend?

Yes, they are welcome to make themselves comfortable on the couch in the waiting area if space permits. Somedays we are more packed than others so please have an alternate plan if possible. I will only ask for privacy if I have trouble focusing.

What should I bring?

Definitely bring your ID(required).

+please feel free to bring whatever would make you more comfortable during your session like a food, water, snacks, pillow, blanket, book, handheld video game, penjamin, etc.

This is my first tattoo! What should I know?

PLEASE SLEEP WELL AND EAT WELL BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT. Remember to dress appropriately for the tattoo(loose dark clothes you wouldn't mind getting ink on and be mindful of the spot for example- you’re getting a tattoo on your sternum? bring a button up shirt. Hip piece? String bikini/loose flowy shorts/adjustable long flowy skirt etc.) + please arrive showered (bonus tip: exfoliate and moisturize routinely leading up to your appointment). And know that I am excited for you! This is a big deal! Congratulations on taking a step towards becoming more yourself.
