Deposits left will go towards total price of work unless 24 hrs notice is not given to cancel your appointment. American Inkwell WILL NOT refund any money left for tattoo appointments.

Do you do walk-ins for tattoos?
Walk-ins are welcome, but based on availability of artist. We strongly suggest calling ahead to check for any open time the artists might have.
