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.

Parking at Blue Nose Tattoo

Please park on the side of Rutherford Road at the bottom of the driveway, and pull forward into the farthest spot to allow for other clients to park behind you. To make this easier, drive up Rutherford Road from Hammond Bay, so that the studio address is on your right.

DO NOT BLOCK the driveway and please call the shop at (250)760-9830 if you have any questions.
