A fine line tattoo is a delicate style of tattoo art. We use a single needle to create thin, precise lines. This makes beautiful, detailed designs that look soft and elegant on your skin. Fine line tattoos are perfect for small designs, flowers, words, or anything you want to keep simple and pretty. Our artist Bella specializes in this gentle art style to bring your vision to life.

Magnetic tattoo removal is a gentle way to fade unwanted tattoos without lasers. We use a special magnetized solution that lifts the pigment from your skin. This method causes less damage to your skin and helps your body heal naturally. If you have a tattoo you want to fade or remove, this is a safe and effective option. It usually takes several sessions to see full results.

Elevated experience, spa/high-end feel. Everything is chosen with you in mind, to help you recenter, relax, and reclaim your peace.
Fine-line tattoos don't hurt like a normal tattoo, since they are so delicate. Some spots hurt more than others, of course, but places with more fat (like your arm or thigh) tend to do fine, while places with less fat (like your ribs or ankle) can be more uncomfortable.
Consultations cost $50, which rolls into the service cost.
Basic piercings start at $55 and include surgical grade jewelry. Premium jewelry options like 14K gold cost more. We'll talk about pricing when you book your appointment.
Most people say it feels like a quick pinch. The actual piercing takes just a few seconds. Some spots hurt more than others. Earlobes hurt the least. Cartilage piercings (like helix or tragus) can be more uncomfortable but still very quick.
Piercing guns push a blunt earring through your ear, which can crush your tissue and cause damage. They also can't be fully sterilized. Needles are much safer. They make a clean hole that heals faster and hurts less.
Ear lobes heal in 4 to 6 months. Upper ear piercings (helix, tragus, conch, daith, rook) take 6 to 12 months to fully heal. Nose piercings heal in about 6 to 9 months. Everyone heals at different speeds.
We only use jewelry from our collection for fresh piercings. This helps us make sure your jewelry is safe, sterile, and the right size for healing. After your piercing heals, you can wear any jewelry you like.
Call us anytime. We're here to help. If you see signs of infection (a lot of swelling, pus, heat, or pain), reach out right away. We also offer free checkups to make sure your piercing is healing well.
We can only do piercings for individuals 3 years old and older.
Prices vary based on session length. A 60-minute massage typically costs $85 to $110. A 90-minute massage costs $120 to $150. We offer package deals that save you money when you book multiple sessions. Healthcare workers, military members, and veterans get $10 off every session.
It depends on your goals. For general wellness and stress relief, once a month works well. For chronic pain or specific issues, every 2 weeks gives better results. Athletes often get weekly massages during training. Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on your needs.
Most people undress to their comfort level and get under the sheets on the massage table. Your therapist only uncovers the area being worked on. You can keep underwear on if that makes you more comfortable. The most important thing is that you feel relaxed.
Deep tissue uses firm pressure, but it shouldn't be painful. You might feel some discomfort when your therapist works on very tight areas. This is called "good pain" and it's temporary. Always tell your therapist if the pressure is too much. They'll adjust to keep you comfortable.
Yes! Many clients love combining massage with sauna therapy. You can do sauna before massage (to warm up muscles) or after massage (to enhance detox and relaxation). The sauna session can be added on for $30 to $40. Book your massage first, then add the sauna through our booking system.
Yes. Massage gift certificates make great gifts for birthdays, holidays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or just because. You can purchase them for specific services or dollar amounts. Contact us to buy a gift certificate.
Pricing depends on the size of your tattoo. Small tattoos (2x2 inches) start at $100 to $200 per session. Medium tattoos cost $200 to $400 per session. Larger tattoos cost more. We'll give you exact pricing during your free consultation. Most people need 3 to 8 sessions total.
Most people say it feels like a gentle scratching or tingling. It's much less painful than laser removal. On a pain scale of 1 to 10, most clients rate it between 2 and 4. The discomfort is very tolerable and only lasts during the treatment.
Most tattoos need 3 to 8 sessions. This depends on your tattoo's size, age, colors, and how deep the ink goes. Old, faded tattoos remove faster. New, bright tattoos take longer. We'll give you an estimate during your consultation.
No. Magnetic removal does not cause scarring when done correctly and when you follow aftercare instructions. The process works on the surface of your skin without causing burns or deep damage. Your skin heals naturally and stays smooth.
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of magnetic removal is that it works on all ink colors. Red, yellow, green, blue, purple, orange, and white tattoos all respond to this method. Lasers struggle with these colors, but we don't.
You need to wait 6 to 8 weeks between sessions. This gives your skin time to fully heal and lets your body remove the ink that was lifted. Going too fast can hurt your results and your skin.
No bandage is needed. Your tattoo begins healing immediately at the studio with a professional healing balm. Keep that balm on for the rest of the day and let the healing ingredients absorb. Do not wash the area right away.
Let water run gently over the tattoo during your normal shower. If you don't shower daily, clean it gently in the sink with fragrance-free antibacterial soap when needed. Treat it like a healing wound, and reapply a small amount of balm right after rinsing to keep the skin lightly hydrated and protected.
It's our signature balm schedule for even healing. Week 1: apply a very thin layer 3 times a day. Week 2: a light layer 2 times a day. Week 3: once a day or as needed. Less is more, since too much balm can soften the skin and blur fine-line work.
Yes, light peeling is normal. Do not pick or scratch. Allow the skin to exfoliate naturally. Surface healing takes about 7 to 10 days, and deeper healing takes 3 to 4 weeks.
Yes. Just avoid touching or rubbing the tattoo at the gym, clean the area or shower as soon as you finish, reapply a thin layer of balm once it's clean, and avoid heavy friction from tight clothing, straps, or pads. As long as you keep it clean and protected, gym time is fine.
Avoid submersion for 2 to 3 weeks. That means no pools, hot tubs, baths, saunas, or steam rooms. Showering is completely safe the whole time.
Yes, every fine-line tattoo includes a touch-up session. Fine-line work naturally lightens as it heals because we build delicate layers rather than oversaturate the skin. The touch-up lets us strengthen lines and adjust shade so your tattoo heals clean, balanced, and long-lasting.
Contact us if you notice excessive redness, oozing, unusual swelling, blistering, sharp or worsening pain, or anything that feels concerning. We're always here to support your healing.
