Frequently asked questions

  • You can fill out a New Client Request form here, or give us a call at (250) 760-9830 to discuss.

  • You must be 18+ to get tattooed at Blue Nose Tattoo, and we may ask for photo identification.

  • Meag charges $200/hour, plus tax. She has a minimum 2-hour charge per appointment, unless otherwise discussed.

  • Consults are a great time to discuss how much your artist thinks it will cost to create your custom tattoo. If you have a budget you want to stick to, you can chat about that during the consult appointment.

  • Occasionally appointments will be posted on each artist’s Instagram as an ‘available’ spot that’s open to current clients with in-progress work, or to people who want an ‘up for grabs’ design. If you see a design you want, you can reach out to the artist directly to book that spot.

  • Clients are asked to come alone to their appointment, as Blue Nose Tattoo is a small private studio that only has so much room.

  • We always want your tattoo to look as great as possible, which occasionally means you might need a touch up if things don’t heal properly. Touch ups are $20 within the first year of your tattoo. After that you may need a tattoo refresh at an hourly rate; please discuss this with your artist.

  • Absolutely not. Numbing creams seem like a good idea in theory, but they cause many problems. They can affect the healing of a tattoo, cause irritation on the skin, and make it harder for your artist to tattoo your skin. We will not tattoo you if you have used numbing cream.

  • At Blue Nose Tattoo we take cash, credit, debit or e-transfers.

  • No. Deposits are 100% non-refundable.

  • We ask that you cancel no less than three business days before you appointment. This helps your artist have a chance to re-book your spot. Cancellations made under three business days will result in a forfeit deposit.

  • No, we are by appointment only.

  • Yes! Please bring sugary drinks and snacks to munch on during your appointment. Gatorade is a great choice. Keeping your blood sugars up is important for getting through a tattoo session.
