How do I book an appointment?

Each artist’s page has a link to book with them personally. If you prefer, you may always come into the shop to book your appointment on person.

Where is your shop?

Fable Tattoo is located at 600 Central AVE SE, Suite F. There are several doors that lead into the building, with the easiest point of entry being through Duke City Games, or The Grove Café.

How much do you charge?

Each artist charges in accordance with their own skill and preferences. It is safe to assume a $100 minimum, an hourly rate for large projects, and flat costs for flash. If you have a budget, be sure to let your artist know. We are flexible!

What is your deposit policy?

If booking through the website, your deposit is paid when your select the date and time of your appointment. No other invoice will be sent to you for additional deposits. The deposit is applied to your tattoo when your tattoo is finished, regardless of how many appointments your tattoo takes to complete.

If booking through alternate means, you will be e-mailed an invoice for your deposit due one week prior to your appointment. So long as your deposit is unpaid, your appointment is not confirmed. The deposit will be applied to the cost of your tattoo when the tattoo is finished regardless of how many appointments are required to finish it.

All deposits are non-refundable. 

Do you tattoo minors?

Fable Tattoo has a strict policy to not tattoo anyone below the age of 17, and those who are 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian with all the proper identification and paperwork.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel your appointment, you may do so by contacting your artist at least 72 hours before the day of your scheduled appointment. With that notice, your deposit may be transferred to a second preferred date. Deposits may only be shifted once in this way—if you need to reschedule more than once, you must leave a second deposit. All sales are final, all deposits are non-refundable.

How do I care for my new tattoo?

Whenever you get home, remove your bandage and immediately wash your tattoo thoroughly with hot water and antibacterial soap. Repeat the washing process until the tattoo no longer feels slimy. Once the tattoo is cleaned in this way, pat dry with a clean towel. Clean your tattoo once per day. Protect your tattoo from dirt, sand, or other irritatants or infectants by wearing loose clothing over it. Do not re-wrap your tattoo. Do not submerge your tattoo in chlorinated water or natural streams, lakes, rivers, etc. for four to six weeks after you get your tattoo. Apply small amounts of non-scented lotion, such as Curél, as needed. Just relax, keep your tattoo clean, and use a little lotion when it gets too dry and it will heal perfectly.

If your tattoo needs touched up, the first touch-up is free within 1 year of your initial appointment. Beyond this time frame, touching up a tattoo is often unnecessary.
