Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between silver, gold, and platinum?

Silver, gold, and platinum are all precious metals used in jewelry, each with unique characteristics:

Silver

Affordable, bright luster, but prone to tarnishing and scratching

Gold

More expensive, available in various colors and karats, doesn't tarnish

Platinum

Most expensive, naturally white, durable, and hypoallergenic

The choice depends on your budget, preferences, and the desired look of your piece.

How long does the custom design process take?

Depending on the complexity of the project, the average lead time will be between 3 and 6 weeks. Keep in mind that every piece we do is custom.

How much does a custom tattoo jewelry piece cost?

Our prices begin at about $150 for a small silver piece. The final price is determined by the size of your piece, the complexity of your tattoo design, and the metal you choose.

How do I pay for my custom piece?

Once you approve the estimate, we require a 50% deposit to start the wax model of your tattoo design. The other 50% plus shipping will need to be paid when the jewelry is finished for delivery. We accept PayPal only. If you do not have a PayPal account, click here to set one up.

How long is a quote valid?

Quotes are valid for 72 hours. Metal prices fluctuate on a daily basis, so we will honor the quote given for 72 hours. If your quote expires before you make a decision, we'll be happy to provide you with a new one.

Do you offer international shipping?

Yes, we do offer international shipping. Please keep in mind that when trying to reach us during business hours, we are on Central Standard Time.

How do I care for my custom tattoo jewelry piece?

We use tarnish-resistant Argentium Silver for our silver pieces. Gold and platinum will not tarnish with wear.

Can I order a chain or bracelet to go with my custom piece?

Yes, we'd be happy to supply a necklace or bracelet at an additional charge. We can include the price in the initial quote or price it separately.

Is there a discount for ordering multiple pieces of the same design?

Yes! We will only charge a one-time design and wax carving fee for multiple pieces of the same design. The additional pieces can be made at the same time, or we can pull your file from our secure archives and make them at a later date.

Can you create a custom piece from a tattoo design I like, even if I don't have it as a tattoo myself?

Absolutely! If you haven't committed to getting the design as a tattoo yet, we can still create a custom piece of jewelry for you to wear in the meantime.

Can I have my custom piece personalized with an engraving?

Yes, we can engrave your finished piece. The number of characters (letters, symbols, etc.) that can be engraved will depend on its size. We can discuss personalization options before your piece is shipped.

Do you create custom jewelry pieces that aren't based on tattoo designs?

Yes, we are a full-service jewelry shop. You do not need a tattoo to have a piece made with us! Email us your idea and we can make it happen. Diamonds, colored stones, extra-large pendants – you name it, we can do it.

How do you achieve such intricate details in small jewelry pieces?

The level of detail that can be achieved will depend on the size of the piece. We work hard to ensure your piece is as accurate as possible, down to the smallest detail. We can also suggest an optimal size for your design to showcase the details effectively.
