Aaron generally charges by piece for smaller tattoos (anything that takes less than 4 hours)!

We offer a price break for full day (8 hour) appointments at $1200** plus tax. This breaks down to $150 an hour.

We have a $150 shop minimum. This only applies to small, simple linework designs.

We accept cash, Debit, Visa or MasterCard as forms of payment for your tattoo.

We do not accept E-transfer, PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, Apple Pay or American Express as final payment for your tattoo so please plan accordingly!

Please email us a detailed description of what you’d like to get done as well as reference images and photos of the area you want tattooed.

In the description, we need you to include sizing (in inches), placement, any specific imagery you’re wanting done, if you want the tattoo done in black/grey or full color, if you have a budget and anything else you think Aaron should know! 

Aaron will respond as soon as able, and let you know if we require a consultation or if we can forgo that and book the appointment.

If we happen to recommend booking and you would still like to speak directly with the artist prior — that’s totally okay! Please let us know so that we’re able to accommodate accordingly.

Aaron requires a $100-$500 deposit depending on how many sessions we must book. The deposit is to secure the appointment time, and ensure that the artist/support staff will be compensated for their time spent preparing for the appointment. This includes corresponding with the client, any administration work, any mental labour and drawing.

All deposits are 100% non-refundable and expire after two years of inactivity from the original date of deposit.

We require at least 48 hours notice — preferably a week — prior to your appointment when cancelling/rescheduling.

ALL CANCELLATIONS MUST BE VIA EMAIL (tattoosbyaaronhill@gmail.com)

Failure to provide us this notice will result in a forfeited deposit to pay Aaron for lost time. More than 3 of these cancellations/reschedules will also result in a loss of deposit.

When we get last minute cancellations, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to fill the appointment time which will result in lost work/pay for the artist. We totally understand that things happen and will do our best to accommodate whatever we can.

We will contact you a week before your appointment via phone/email/text to confirm your appointment. This is a curtsey and ultimately it is your responsibility to remember when your appointment is. Failure to confirm your appointment may result in the appointment being cancelled and loss of deposit — so when you see us contacting to confirm, please respond!

Please note that late arrivals (anything more than 15 minutes with no contact) can result in loss of deposit and rescheduling of appointments. Any large changes made to the design (after the consultation appointment) may result in a forfeited deposit and rescheduling of appointments.

Small changes are to be expected, but please do not change your entire tattoo design once your appointment has been booked as we may have to reschedule your appointment which could possibly result in loss of deposit.

You will not see the design until the day of the appointment. We will not send out designs via email or social media due to copyright reasons.

We understand that some people would like to see the artwork prior to the appointment, but can assure you that our artists are experienced in this process and that they’ll be able to create something you love based off all the information you provide to us.

We always book a small amount of extra time for each appointment just in case any small adjustments need to be made. We will never force you to get something that you aren’t sure about!

If you’re still unsure, you can request a drawing appointment prior to the tattoo appointment to come in, check out the design and chat about any changes you’d like to make then, as opposed to the day of the appointment. We will do our best to accommodate your needs to ensure you’re comfortable during the entire process!

We ask that you do not bring anyone to your appointment as we need to be courteous of the other clients in the studio. We understand that some people require support during the appointment and will allow accompaniment on a case by case basis so please ask prior to your appointment!

We also ask that you acquire adequate childcare as we are 18+ only and will not allow children into the studio.

If you would like to book an appointment with multiple people, please clarify when emailing us and we will do our best to accomodate!

Do not consume alcohol or recreational drugs 24 hours prior to your appointment. Alcohol and certain drugs can cause blood thinning and excessive bleeding during the tattoo which poses a risk to yourself and the tattoo.

Yes! We recommend having a large healthy meal before your appointment which will provide more comfort for you as you get tattooed. You are welcome to bring snacks and a beverage for extended sessions.

We do ask that you are open about your medical history as it may pose a risk during your tattoo. We want all of our clients to know that they are in a professional and safe space, and that we will do our best to make you comfortable.

Check out our aftercare page for all of this information! Please note that we have a $50 (plus tax) touch up fee within the first 6 months of the tattoo. Any touch ups will be subject to hourly rate after 6 months.

Please send us an email to tattoosbyaaronhill@gmail.com and our support staff will help you out!
