FAQs

How do I book an appointment?

All appointments require a deposit to secure your booking. Deposits range from $100–$400, depending on the size and complexity of the piece. Deposits are applied toward the final cost of your tattoo.

Are deposits refundable?

No. Deposits are non-refundable. We require at least 48 hours’ notice to move or reschedule an appointment. With proper notice, deposits can usually be transferred to a new date.

What is your hourly rate?

Our rate is $200 per hour. Experience, efficiency, and decision-making matter. You’re paying for clarity, consistency, and years of refinement — not just time passing.

Do you price by the piece or by the hour?

Most tattoos are charged hourly. For larger or more complex projects, we may provide a clear estimate or range once the scope is understood.

Can I bring reference images?

Absolutely. References are encouraged and help us understand your direction. That said, we don’t copy tattoos. Everything we do is custom-designed to suit the body, the idea, and the long-term integrity of the tattoo.

Do you do flash tattoos?

Yes — we do flash. Flash tattoos are pre-drawn designs created by us and other artists. They’re ready to go, repeatable, and meant to be done as-is.

Can I change my design?

Small refinements are no problem. Major changes — especially close to the appointment — may require additional design time or rescheduling.

Do you allow numbing cream?

Possibly — but you must check with us first. Please don’t apply numbing cream without prior approval.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Eat a solid meal beforehand, stay hydrated, get a good night’s sleep, avoid alcohol the night before, and wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the area.

Aftercare

Keep the tattoo clean, don’t over-moisturize, avoid soaking, swimming, and direct sun while healing, and don’t pick or scratch.

Do you offer touch-ups?

Touch-ups are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and depend on placement, healing, and aftercare.

Do you do walk-ins?

Yes, we do walk-ins when availability allows. It’s usually a good idea to give us a call first. Appointments always take priority.

Do you offer evening tattoo appointments?

Yes! Mythology Tattoo is open late every day until 10 PM for tattoo appointments, consultations, and walk-ins in Edmonton.

Still have questions?

Get in touch. We believe the best tattoos come from good communication and shared expectations.
