Full Circle Tattoo
How do I schedule an appointment?
If you'd like to work with a specific artist, please visit their Instagram where you'll find a booking request form in their bio. For additional information about scheduling with a particular artist, you're welcome to call our shop directly.
If you haven't selected an artist yet, you can email us or visit the shop between 10am and 5pm with a reference photo showing your desired size and placement. We'll recommend the artist best suited for your project and provide instructions on how to contact them.
In-person consultations are available upon request and are required for larger projects such as sleeves, back pieces, and cover-ups.
All appointments require a $200 cash deposit paid at the shop. This deposit is applied toward the total cost of your tattoo, but once paid and your appointment is confirmed, it cannot be refunded.How much does a tattoo cost?
Our shop minimum is $150 per person. Most of our artists charge $200 per hour. Larger pieces are priced by the hour, while smaller designs are priced per project based on detail level, size, and placement. Tattoos in sensitive areas such as hands, necks, and torsos may cost slightly more due to the difficulty of tattooing these locations.
To receive an estimate for your tattoo, please call the shop or email us with reference photos along with your desired size and placement. Larger projects may require an in-person consultation for accurate pricing.Do you accept walk-ins?
Yes, we do. We typically have availability each day on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 11:00am. You can stop by to get a cost estimate, add your name to the list, and if we need preparation time, we'll collect a $100 cash deposit that will be applied toward your tattoo cost. We recommend calling ahead in case we've already filled our schedule. If we're at capacity when you arrive or if your design requires drawing time, we can schedule you for our next opening, which is usually within the following week.What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
Rescheduling requires at least 48 hours advance notice. You must call the shop directly and leave a voicemail if calling outside business hours. Reschedule requests sent via email or Instagram DM may not reach your artist and won't be considered proper notice. Failing to provide 48 hours notice will result in forfeiture of your deposit, meaning it won't apply to your tattoo cost and you'll need to submit a new deposit to return to the calendar. You may reschedule an appointment up to two times. Further reschedules will result in loss of your deposit.
If you contact us at least 48 hours prior to your appointment, we'll gladly reschedule you (up to two times). Please understand that if an artist is booked far in advance, you'll be scheduled for their next available opening, which could be several months away. The more advance notice you provide, the sooner we can reschedule you. We'll hold your deposit for up to six months. If you don't attempt to reschedule within that timeframe, your deposit will be forfeited. Deposits are non-refundable for outright cancellations. We value your time and effort and respectfully ask that you extend the same consideration to us.
You'll receive text and email reminders from our calendar system seven days before your appointment. If you don't confirm through the link provided and we can't reach you by phone, your appointment may be given to another client. Please save our number when you book and ensure your voicemail is set up with available space.May I bring a friend/mom/child/dog?
Currently, we don't permit visitors as we don't have a waiting or lounge area for guests.
If you and a friend or family member are getting matching tattoos, we can schedule back-to-back appointments on the same day, but whoever isn't being tattooed will need to wait outside. There are many excellent small businesses to explore on nearby 30th Street.
Children aren't allowed in the tattoo area at any time, but they may accompany you for your consultation (not your actual tattoo appointment). Pets and companion animals aren't permitted inside the shop for sanitary reasons. Service dogs and psychiatric service dogs are welcome as required by California law.Where do I park?
Parking is available on the street only. Metered spaces can be found throughout the area, and there are grey, unmarked curb sections on surrounding side streets where you won't need to refill the meter. Please follow all posted street signs to avoid parking violations. You may need to walk a block or two. If you're running behind schedule, please call to inform us.Do you sell gift certificates?
Yes, we do. You can purchase one in person at the shop with cash, or we can arrange a digital gift card paid through PayPal that can be sent to the recipient. If you're planning to visit the shop to purchase one with cash, please call ahead to let us know.How can I set up an appointment with a guest artist?
Guest artists handle their own booking through email. Their email addresses are listed on our guest artist page and on their Instagram profiles. Please include "Full Circle Tattoo" in the subject line of your email.
