Be Prepared
What to Bring
A little preparation goes a long way. Here is what to bring to your consultation and your tattoo session.
Valid ID
Required for all clients. You must be 18 or older to receive a tattoo.
Reference Images
Any photos, artwork, or visual references that represent your concept. The more specific, the better.
Comfortable Clothing
Wear or bring clothing that allows easy access to the placement area without having to undress entirely.
A Snack
For longer sessions especially. Keeping your blood sugar stable helps you sit better and heal faster.
Payment
We accept cash and most major cards. The deposit is taken at consultation; the balance is due on the day.
Before You Book
FAQ
Is the consultation really free?+
Yes, completely. No charge, no obligation. We use the consultation to understand your concept, discuss sizing and placement, and answer any questions you have. You can walk away at any point without any commitment.
How do I book?+
Use the form on this page, send a DM on Instagram (@ritual_ink49), message us on Facebook, call +1 (240) 455-8475, or email daemonblack323@gmail.com. We respond to all inquiries within 24 hours.
Do you do walk-ins?+
Consultations can sometimes be taken as walk-ins, but tattoo sessions must be booked in advance. We recommend reaching out before you come in to make sure we have availability.
How far in advance should I book?+
For small to medium pieces, 2–4 weeks is usually sufficient. For larger work, sleeves, or back pieces, 4–8 weeks gives us the design time the work deserves. Popular dates fill quickly — reach out sooner rather than later.
What is your deposit policy?+
A non-refundable deposit is required to hold your session. The amount is deducted from your final total on the day. Rescheduling is available with at least 48 hours notice. Cancellations within 48 hours forfeit the deposit.
How long will my session take?+
Session length depends entirely on the size and complexity of the piece. Small work can be completed in 1–2 hours. Large pieces or sleeves are split across multiple sessions. We will give you a realistic estimate at consultation.
Can I bring someone with me?+
Yes — one companion is welcome in the studio during your session. Additional guests may be asked to wait outside depending on space and availability.
What aftercare do you provide?+
We provide a full aftercare kit and printed instructions on the day of your session. A free touch-up is included within 12 months of your original appointment to keep your piece looking exactly as it should.
Do you tattoo all skin tones?+
Yes. Black and grey realism is built on contrast and tonal range rather than colour pigment mixing, which means it produces consistent, excellent results across all complexions. We welcome clients of all skin tones.
