PRICING & INFO

TATTOOS: 

Most Alchemist Tattoo Artists charge an hourly rate of $150-200 an hour. Our shop minimum is $75 for anything that takes 30 minutes or under.

Tattoos are done by scheduling an appointment. Most of our artists only take on custom work in their specific style. Some of our artists also offer flat day rates and will let you know ahead of time. Additionally, to continue growing as artists and maintain a healthy work-life balance, most of our artists occasionally close their books to only schedule so far out. This helps them leave room for future potential guest spots, makes rescheduling easier & helps them spend time with their loved ones.

We apologize if this can be inconvenient, but booking out 9-12 months was just not feasible for us or our clients. Follow us on social media and keep your eyes peeled for future posts by that artist that their books are back open. You can also signup for our email ist to receive information on sales, bookings, and guest artists. If you have any questions at all please feel free to call the shop at any time or email the artist directly.

PIERCINGS:

Piercing pricing are broken up into 2 sections, the piercing fee (pays your artist and covers our piercing setup) and the cost of the jewelry you choose to get pierced with.

Cartilage/Nose/Eyebrow/Navel/Oral/Nipple/ Piercing fee is $35 for the first and $15 for each additional one.  (PLUS THE COST OF JEWELRY)

Surface/Anchor Piercing fee is $40 for the first and $15 for each additional one.  (PLUS THE COST OF JEWELRY)

PIERCING MINORS:

Body piercings can be done 14+ with a parent or legal guardian present. We need a photo ID for the parent and a photo ID for the person getting pierced or an original birth certificate. We do NOT offer surface /dimple/nipple piercings on minors. We also require tongue piercing clients to be 16+.

We offer earlobe piercings for children over the age of 4 under the age of 14, but we do not pierce infants.

We require that the child be able to consent and sit on their own during the procedure.

Our staff is highly experienced in performing piercings for children, however, we only have 2 piercers on staff that works with yourger children, Aileen & Allyx. We require an appointment for all children’s lobe piercings. This is so the child has a dedicated time to allow for a safe, less stressful experience. It also allows the parent the time to acquire all necessary doumentation and go over our studio requirements. This is given to you during the appointment setup. We can occasionally accommodate walkins, but that’s difficult with younger children.

We try to have 2 piercers on staff most days, 1 working appointment only, the other to handle walkins. This has greatly helped us manage the flow of the lobby and lessen wait times for our clients . This also means that all appointments booked on Friday/Saturday will allow for tandem piercers if needed. We are hoping this will help children during earlobe appointments and allow adults the chance to have 2 piercers available for those more stressful double piercings ;)

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO BRING:

The City of Bismarck requires some form of identification/proof of guardianship for the minor such as an original birth certificate, government-issued ID, or Passport. We also need a photo ID for the parent & or documentation of legal guardianship. We can not accept photos of these forms of identification. These IDs will need to establish custody/legal standing for a minor. Either the last names or addresses have to match to allow us the ability to prove you are the parent/guardian. Older siblings, aunts/uncles, grandparents/ cannot sign unless they are the legal guardian with approriate paperwork.

If you have questions about if you have proper documentation please give our shop a call and we can happily assist you.

Piercings are done on a walk-in basis, but we can make appointments as well if that works best for your schedule. Appointments allow you to “skip” this line and go about your day in a timely fashion.
