📢 FOX DEN PSA: WHY DO WE HAVE A SHOP MINIMUM? 🦊
“But my tattoo is tiny… why does it still cost that much?”
Because unfortunately, the tattoo may be tiny, but the process isn’t.
Whether your tattoo takes 10 minutes or 2 hours, we still have to:
🧼 Clean and disinfect the station
🛡️ Set up proper barriers
🪡 Open brand-new sterile, single-use supplies
🖊️ Prepare the machine and ink
🎨 Size, print, and place your stencil
🧤 Use gloves and other necessary PPE
🗑️ Properly dispose of contaminated materials and sharps
🧽 Completely break down and disinfect the station afterward
⏰ Reserve time in the artist’s schedule
🎓 And, of course, you're paying for the artist's training, experience, and skill.
That little tattoo might only take a few minutes to actually tattoo, but you're not just paying for the minutes the needle touches your skin.
Our shop minimum covers the minimum cost of safely and professionally performing a tattoo.
So no, your tiny heart isn't secretly being charged by the square inch. 😂
Small tattoo. Same safety standards. Same professional setup. Same sterile process.
And those are things we will never cut corners on just to make a tattoo cheaper.
