Do you take Walk-ins?
The Point Tattoo does not currently have a walk-in warrior.
We will always recommend making an appointment as our artists' days are pretty full. Occasionally there are times where due to a cancellation, an artist has time to take walk-ins. Our best advice is to keep your eyes peeled on social media.

We're the purple house, you can park right on the front lawn, or pull in to the driveway. We have additional parking at the laundromat across the street.
How Much Does a Tattoo Cost?
Depending on the size, placement, and complexity of the tattoo, the price will vary. We like to give per-piece pricing when possible. Our artists’ rates generally average between $100-$200/hr and our shop minimum is $100.
What is a Deposit/Prepayment?
A deposit is a partial payment towards your tattoo, generally in the $100-$300 range, which reserves the date in your artist’s calendar. Even before your artist starts physically tattooing you, they work diligently behind the scenes to design your tattoo, and this deposit helps to cover time spent doing that work. The deposit is a prepayment towards the final cost of your tattoo, it is not an additional fee.
If you’re going to be tattooed over multiple sessions, you will need a deposit for each session.
Deposits are non-refundable & non-transferable - We can reschedule you if needed. (see the cancellation policy below for details)
What is your Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy?
We understand that sometimes everyone is met with unexpected accidents or financial difficulties, and that’s okay! After an appointment is made, if you need to change the date we will make every effort to accommodate you as long as you inform us. That being said, our artists rely on clients like you to earn their living; the more notice you can give the better!
To reschedule please text (813) 603-7418 and you should receive a reply same day.
You'll be asked to leave a new deposit in the following situations:
• If you reschedule without at least 72 hours notice
• If you are over 30 minutes late to your appointment without notice
• If you reschedule more than once
• If you change your tattoo idea last minute
If you don't show up to your appointment and don't give notice (no call, no show) then any future appointment will need to be paid in full before booking. Some artists may refuse to book clients that have no call, no showed in the past.
On rare occasions an artist may need to reschedule you due to their own personal reasons. In situations like that it will never incur any type of penalty towards you. We’ll do our best to reschedule you for the best date that works for you and make up for the inconvenience.
Can I bring a guest?
Yes! But please limit yourself to one guest, and try to carpool!
Can you Show me the Artwork Before my Appointment?
Artwork will only be shown on the day of the appointment. Your deposit covers the tattoo, it’s not for a copy of the artwork, nor for ownership of the design. Your artists will not provide artwork for tattoos to be used by other artists with the exception of art from flash sheets.
What if I Want to Make a Change to my Tattoo Design?
We can make small tweaks to the design on the day of your appointment. If you would like to make large changes, or a complete redraw, we will likely have to move the appointment to a different day. Additionally the final price of your tattoo will increase, as the design accounts for a large portion of the time spent preparing your tattoo. If you had a change of heart prior to the design being presented. Let us know ASAP, so we don’t need to spend additional time revising the design the day of the tattoo.
What is Proper Tipping Etiquette?
While tipping is not mandatory, it is always appreciated! Generally tipping can be anywhere from a few bucks to a few hundred. When tipping, your artist prefers if you tip in cash or via Venmo/CashApp/Paypal friends & family.
What if I Want to Get a Matching Tattoo With My Friend/Partner/Parent?
Go ahead and book one appointment and put a note that you will be getting a matching tattoo with your friend/partner/parent. We will only request a deposit from one person, which will be applied to the final cost of the tattoo. In some circumstance, we may have to book you for multiple days depending on the size, or amount of people getting tattooed. We will discuss that as part of the consultation process.
Will you Tattoo me if I'm under 18?
In order to get a tattoo if you're under 18, you will need your legal guardian to fill out a Notarized Minor Consent Form. It must be notarized before the date of your appointment. There are also certain things we will refuse to tattoo on a minor (ex. face tattoos, hand tattoos, your partner's name, etc.).
Do you do Cover-Ups/Reworks?
Yes! Depending on the extent of the cover-up, it may limit what we're able to do. We're more likely to take on these projects if we're allowed creative freedom over what is being covered.
