Dylan Rosage just joined us here at Good Graces Tattoo & Design last week. Dylan started tattooing in Jacksonville and as of the past year or so has been leading the life of a traveling artist, guest spotting in various shops in and around NC. Dylan’s style of work is bold and unique. He uses …
A: Sure. It’s always nice to have someone accompany you if you’re a little uneasy about getting tattooed, especially if it’s your first. However, please limit your crew to 1-2 people.
A: Please make arrangements for childcare before coming to get tattooed. A tattoo shop isn’t the best place for children. Often there is language and other visuals not suited for young eyes and ears. In addition, it is not recommended by the Health Department.
A: Yes. A deposit is the only way to secure an appointment. Your deposit covers the artists time for research and preparing the drawing. It also goes towards the final session of your tattoo. If it is a small tattoo, it will go to the final cost of the tattoo. Deposits are typically $50 for smaller pieces and $100 for pieces taking more than an hour. If you cannot make your appointment(s) please provide at least a 48 hour notice. The deposit is non-refundable and is subject to void if you neglect to fulfill your obligation to make it to your appointment(s).
A: Tattooing is a service, and tipping is always appreciated but never expected. Tipping as a general rule in a service industry is a common courtesy and recommended to be handled just as you would a stylist, waiter and/or waitress.
A: Yes. Our studio offers design and illustration services on a custom basis.
A: No.
A: Yes, but it depends on who you prefer to get tattooed by. Each artist has their own minimum.
A: We take all major credit and debit cards, however, cash is always preferred.
A: Yes. We generally book by appointment, but if there is an available artist, we try and accommodate them as much as possible.
A: Booking a consultation is the best way to ensure you are on the same page with the artist. Times for consultation vary depending on the artist, but your best bet is to try and book consultations when we open and close to ensure our undivided attention.
A: The best way is to come to the shop and talk in in person. Aside from that (especially if you are from out of town) you can give us a call and set something up that way. We are a small operation, so bear with us. We will be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.
Our shop is at 118 S. 17th Street in the big white brick building on the left hand side of the road. We are upstairs in the building. You’ll enter on the south side of the building through a common area and come up the stair case into the shop. We have signage that hopefully points you in the right direction.
We are open Tuesday through Saturday from noon-7pm.
