FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • WHERE IS YOUR STUDIO LOCATED?

Mashroom Studios is centrally located in Denver in the Santa Fe Arts District. We are an all-female tattoo studio focused on providing safe and inclusive service to all of our clients. Wherever you are in your walk of life, our goal is to make your tattoo journey as special and unique as possible in a friendly and creative environment, free from harassment or intimidation. At the moment, we are appointment only so please make sure to fill out our Tattoo Request Form if you are planning to get a tattoo by us.

​

  • HOW LONG IS YOUR WAIT LIST?

This depends on the time of year, artist, budget and travel schedules. Typically, the wait time for flash designs is 1-3 weeks from request submission date. Custom designs may take 1-3 months from time of deposit. For simple tattoos less than 2 hours, wait time is typically within 1-3 weeks, sometimes with slots available sooner due to reschedules. Please note that these are all estimations and times will vary. Our busier and more experienced artists will usually have a longer wait list than newer artists or apprentices. Please reach out to individual artists for a better idea of what their wait times look like and please be patient to receive a response as most of our artists stay busy all year round.

​

  • WHAT ARE YOUR RATES LIKE?

All of our hourly rates will depend on the artist you wish to get a tattoo from. For Mashroom Ink, her current rate is $200/hour for full day or multi-session projects and any micro-realism designs. Smaller single day pieces are priced per piece. For individual artist rates, please reach out to the artist directly. 

There is a $250 shop minimum (apprentices excluded) for any appointment which includes design/drawing time.

​

  • WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU TAKE?

We accept cash, or credit card payments + a small transaction fee.

​

  • WHAT IS YOUR DEPOSIT/REFUND POLICY?

A non-refundable deposit of $150 - $500 is required to be paid when booking sessions to reserve your appointment date and initiate the design process. Once the deposit is received, your artist will then begin working on your design- this deposit is in place to protect the artist from losing hours of work and/or a full day of income due to a cancellation or no-show. If you miss, cancel or choose to reschedule your tattoo appointment date regardless of the reason, the full deposit amount will be forfeited for lost time. If the original appointment date is kept, then the full deposit paid will go towards the total cost of the tattoo. To read our full Deposit Policy, click here.

​

  • HOW DOES TIPPING WORK?

Tipping is not mandatory but always appreciated. Typical tips are 15-20% of the session or total price of the tattoo. Some clients tip per session, others tip at the end. This is up completely up to the client.

​

  • WHAT PRECAUTIONS ARE YOU TAKING FOR COVID-19?

We take COVID-19 very seriously and value yours and everyone else’s health. At the moment, we don't require face masks or proofs of vaccination. However, we ask that you be courteous and not come to your tattoo session if you have been experiencing any of the symptoms caused by COVID-19. We sanitize all surfaces at the beginning and end of every day and between every client. We use disposable gloves at all times and only use single-use disposable needles and supplies to completely eliminate the risk of infection and contamination. We open every needle from its sterile package right in front of you for our mutual protection. We practice universal precautions in the disposal of all supplies and equipment in accordance with state sanitary regulations.
