Do you want to get a spontaneous tattoo?
Here are some of the things you should know:
Availability
Walk-in tattoo appointments are not required, but we recommend that you stop by the studio in the early afternoon, this way you can check to see if anyone is currently available, although you may have to wait for an opening as we cannot guarantee availability.
But hurry, because if someone comes before you, they get it first! Walk-in tattoos work on a first come, first served basis. You can also book your appointment here in which case you would have to make a deposit guaranteeing availability.
Reference images and flash designs
When getting a walk-in tattoo, try to have a design in mind and have with you some reference images of the idea/tattoo you would like to get, along with the size in cm and body location, as there are many different shapes/styles to illustrate an idea and it would help the artist to prepare a design to your liking.
In contrast, a Flash tattoo is a design that is ready to be tattooed and is usually a quick design. Also, once you get it done, it will not be tattooed twice. Flash tattoos come as you see them and in the size they are meant to be tattooed.
As for flash tattoo designs, you can check the resident artists flashbooks here at the studio, although they may not have same day availability, you can also contact the artist directly to see what flashes are still available.
Body area & Size
Generally speaking, tattoo artists only do small to medium tattoos for walk-in sessions. This is because larger and more complicated tattoos require more time to prepare the design and/or even more sessions to complete the tattoo.
Very important is to know the approximate size in centimeters and body placement of your tattoo, as the price may vary depending on that. Also keep in mind that very small and detailed tattoos do not heal well and the artist always gives you the correct size so that the tattoo will look good over time!
Age and identification
To get a tattoo you must bring proof of identification such as:
DNI from your country of origin
Passport
Driver’s license
You must be 18 years of age or older as we at Meatshop Tattoo have a strict no tattooing minors policy. There are no ifs or buts, although feel free to contact us to discuss your ideas and schedule an appointment after you turn 18.
Payment
When you talk to management, depending on the size, body location, time spent and complexity of the tattoo, we will give you an estimated price.
At the end of the tattoo session, the tattoo artist will indicate the final price within the budget we gave you before tattooing.
Please note that in the studio we only accept cash for final payments!
We only accept other forms of payment (such as bank transfer, Paypal and credit card) for deposits and goods.
NO-NO
No tattoo artist will do a tattoo without an appointment nor any tattoo session if you are intoxicated with alcohol or any other substance.
Before you arrive at the tattoo studio, think about the potential tattoo design and whether it has a hateful, offensive and insulting background from here at Meatshop Studio. No tattoo artist will do hateful, racially insulting or culturally appropriating tattoos, regardless of whether you go for a walk-in or regular tattoo session.
