Tattoo pricing can vary a lot depending on the size, style, placement, and level of detail. Because every piece is custom fit to your body, we need specific information before we can give you an accurate quote. Think of it like asking how much groceries cost—it really depends on what you’re getting.

To get started, you’ll need to fill out our Tattoo Request Form. In some cases, we may also ask you to come in for an in-person consultation if we need more details before pricing your design.

Our shop minimum is $100, and a minimum non-refundable $25 deposit is required to book your appointment. Larger or more complex pieces may require additional deposit amounts or multiple sessions, which your artist will discuss with you after reviewing your request.

We do not provide quotes over the phone, email, or social media. Submitting the Tattoo Request Form is the best way to get the process started!

Walk in-availability varies daily; check our Instagram or call to make sure we’re available!

We highly recommend making an appointment to guarantee your spot. All custom tattoo appointments must fill out an tattoo request form: request.crybabytattoomd.com

Once you submit your form, we’ll review your request and match it with the right artist. You’ll hear back within 1 - 3 business days. If it’s a clear fit, we’ll reach out via email to get you scheduled and send you the deposit link. If not, we may recommend a quick consultation, which we can schedule in-person or virtual.

(If we are not able to take on your project, we will gladly recommend artists in the area that may be a better fit for you!)

While we do have a phone, we use it mainly for clients to call to notify us of last minute cancellations or lateness, or for urgent matters like aftercare questions. We do not give price quotes or schedule any appointments over the phone.

Please use our Tattoo Request Form to submit a request for a quote & appointment: request.crybabytattoomd.com

We don’t send out drawings ahead of time — and here’s why: each tattoo is drawn just for you, and usually gets its final touches right before your appointment. Seeing it in person means we can size it up on your skin, talk through any tweaks together, and make sure it’s perfect before we start.

Keeping designs in-house also protects your artwork from being copied or changed by someone else. This way, your tattoo stays one-of-a-kind and the process stays smooth and stress-free.

We understand that ideas can evolve, and you're absolutely welcome to change your mind. However, significant changes to your original design may require rescheduling your appointment and placing an additional deposit. This is to account for the extra time your artist will need to revise or completely redraw your design, and to ensure their time is fairly compensated in the event of a scheduling change.

If you're considering a change, please contact us as soon as possible so we can discuss your options and make any necessary adjustments to your booking.

We respect our artists’ personal time and boundaries; all appointment requests and questions about your appointment must be directed to the CryBaby Instagram, Facebook, email or phone number.

Do NOT contact our artists directly on their personal social media pages (unless specifically asked to by said artist). Failure to respect this policy will get you blocked and may result in a ban from our shop.

We understand that life happens and you may need to reschedule, but our artists’ time is valuable and no-shows and last minute cancellations mean that your artist is not compensated for their time that day, if they don’t have time to schedule another appointment.

Due to an unfortunate increase in last-minute cancellations and design changes, all deposits are non-refundable.

The only exception to this rule is if your artist cancels or reschedules your appointment—in that case, you may choose to have your deposit refunded or applied to a future booking.

Our deposits are typically no more than $50, unless your session is over $500.

Creative sessions are discounted tattoo appointments starting at $300, during which the artist has the freedom to design and tattoo a piece of their choosing within their preferred style. Clients select a general style from the artist’s offerings, and the artist then creates a custom design that reflects their artistic vision.

You will have the opportunity to view the design before the session; however, significant revisions are subject to the artist’s approval. Session length may vary based on the size, placement, and budget of the piece.

At this time, Peach is offering creative sessions in glitter tattoos and American traditional styles.

Your artist will provide you with personalized aftercare instructions at the end of your session based on your tattoo’s placement and style. If you have any questions afterward or need a refresher, you can always refer to our full aftercare guide here: CryBaby Tattoo Aftercare.

No—it's important to avoid swimming in pools, oceans, lakes, rivers, and hot tubs until your tattoo is fully healed. These bodies of water can expose your fresh tattoo to bacteria, chemicals, and debris that may cause irritation, infection, or fading. Healing typically takes 2–4 weeks, but this can vary based on your skin, placement, and how well you're following aftercare instructions. Stick to gentle cleansing and moisturizing, and wait until your tattoo is fully healed before getting back in the water. When in doubt, ask your artist!

Item descriptioWe recommend keeping your new tattoo completely out of direct sunlight while it’s healing. Fresh tattoos are essentially open wounds, and sun exposure can be really harsh on them. UV rays can cause the tattoo to fade before it’s even healed, increase your risk of sunburn on the sensitive skin, and slow down or even interfere with the healing process—sometimes leading to scabbing, irritation, or infection.

If you need to spend time outside after your tattoo, make sure your tattoo is fully covered to protect it from sun damage.

Once your tattoo is fully healed, you should still protect it with a high-SPF sunscreen whenever it’s exposed to the sun to keep the colors and lines looking fresh.
