Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take tattoo walk-ins?
Yes! It is highly recommended to call ahead at 865.830.3322 to ensure we have availability.
What is your shop minimum?
Our shop minimum is $150. Idle Hands is a 5-star rated custom tattoo studio with an array of talented tattoo artists. We take the time to discuss your ideas with you, and provide a custom tattoo unique for you. We send you home with aftercare and detailed instructions to ensure the longevity of your tattoo.
Do you do free consultations?
Consultations are always FREE. This is the most important part of the process to understand your design ideas and ensure our artists styles are the best fit for your needs. On occasion, we may refer you to neighboring tattoo studios, should our artists style and specialty not be the best fit for your design.
How do I book a tattoo session?
The best way to reach out is to submit a contact form and one of our artists will contact you within 24-48 hours. The tattoo artists will go over the details of the design, and discuss next steps, which may include a free consultation or proceeding with a tattoo session date. We do require a $100 non-refundable deposit to secure your session date, which is applied to the balance of your tattoo.
Once you have been in touch with your artist and secured a session date, the deposit can be made conveniently through our online portal here.
Can I bring my friend to my tattoo appointment?
Of course! Our shop is small, so please limit your guests to 1-2 people.
When can I see my tattoo design?
Your design will be shown on the day of your tattoo session, where we will go over the details, and make any necessary changes. For larger pieces, like full and half sleeve tattoos, your artist may make arrangements a few days prior to your appointment to lay out the design and ensure all details are finalized.
Do you do piercings?
Yes! Drew is our resident tattoo artist and piercer.
