What to expect
70 Arthur street is a big turn of the century brick building with two entrances on Arthur st. the entrance at Más coffeee has stairs, and the other has an automatic door and ramp. Inside, the hallway will direct you to the elevator and stairs.
You can head up to the fourth floor, and follow the signs to unit #420. No need to knock, you can come right in.
Once you enter the shop, you’ll be greeted by a big, bright open-concept, south-facing studio. There are coat and bike racks at the entrance and mats for your shoes/boots in the winter.
To your right will be our tattoo stations, and ahead the lobby/drawing area. My vision for the studio was a dining room feel, with as few barriers between the artists and clients as possible.
Upon entering the studio for a tattoo appointment, you will be presented with a Consent form to fill out and our Welcome letter. The purpose of the welcome letter is to inform you of what you can expect from your appointment and offer an extra level of opportunity to advocate for yourself at your tattoo appointment, re: image, privacy, consent, etc…

Privacy during your session

Drugs and Alcohol
In order to enter into an informed-consent agreement it is integral that both you and your artist be of sound mind, and for this reason, use of recreational drugs/alcohol before or during your session is not allowed.
Revoking Consent
Please note that our consent form explicitly gives you the right to revoke consent to being tattooed, or being photographed at any time. If you are uncomfortable with the artwork being presented, size or placement of the design, or you’re just not “feeling it”, please don’t be shy to say so at any point.
Taking Breaks
If, during your session you need a break, please ask, it’s never a bother! If for any reason you need to fully stop in the middle of being tattooed, let your artist know rtight away, and they will be glad to do so.
