Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most commonly asked questions

How much does a tattoo cost?

Our hourly rates in the shop start at $180 an hour and move according to complexity, placement, and other factors. Once you’ve had a consultation with your artist they will provide you with a time and hourly estimate for your particular tattoo. These are our best ESTIMATIONS, final price may vary.

Do you do walk-ins?

Yes, but not daily. There are several opportunities to get a walk-in appointment at Aether and we post those available appointments to our Instagram. You can also call the shop to check our availability and if we don’t have time that day, we can add you to our “walk-in” list and we can call you when space opens up.

How do I book an appointment?

Each artist at Aether has a different booking process. Please check the artist's individual profile page to learn more about booking with them. If you have general booking questions you can give the shop a call or shoot us an email at atcbzn@gmail.com

I want to get tattooed but I don’t know who to go to...

Please browse through our WORK page to get a feel for the different styles our artists offer. You can see which artist is responsible for which style by clicking on any of the images. This should give you a good idea of which artist can best capture the vision you have for your tattoo. Once you’ve picked an artist, check their availability and booking status to find out how you may book with them.

Why do you require deposits?

Deposits go to cover the artist’s time in the event that a client no-call, no-shows on their appointment or cancels/reschedules for any reason within 24 hours of their appointment. Your deposit is non-refundable, and will be applied to the final cost of your tattoo at your final appointment.

Why do certain artists close their books?

The demand for tattoos greatly outweighs the available artists so in order to keep up with scheduling and communications, some artists need to close their books. Artists will often have last minute openings and will post those to their Instagram pages. If there is an artist you would like to get tattooed by we highly recommend following their individual accounts for up-to-date appointment opportunities.
ALSO, in an effort to get more folks tattooed, we do flash days several times a year and host multiple guest artists that specialize in a wide variety of styles.

What do you mean by being an “inclusive” tattoo shop?

We strive to create a space that all members of our community can feel safe in. We welcome folks of all genders, races , ethnicities, sexual orientations, and creeds.
