Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, appointment only — no walk-ins. Same-day appointments are sometimes available when books are open, but availability is not guaranteed. It's best to inquire in advance.

Send an inquiry via Instagram DM (@__jingandtonic.tattoo), email, or through the inquiry form on this site. Include your design idea, placement, and any reference images. We'll have a conversation before scheduling anything.

Yes — for first-time clients (first tattoo ever, or first session with Jing), a consultation is usually preferred. This can be in person or over video call. It's a chance to address any concerns, talk through your design idea, and go over deposit and payment details before committing.

Absolutely — companions are more than welcome in the studio. The space is designed to feel comfortable for guests too. There's wifi, books, and snacks available.

Florals, abstract and freehand work, fine line, minimalist, neotribal, and neotraditional. Custom and flash designs are both available. Jing also creates original pen-and-ink artworks available as commissions.

Jing works primarily in black and gray. Color is available on a case-by-case basis — reach out to discuss your specific idea.

Jing does not copy other artists' work directly, but references are very helpful for understanding the style, feeling, or elements you want. The design will always be adapted into Jing's own style and approach.

Cover-ups are considered case by case. Not all projects are accepted — it depends on the existing tattoo's size, placement, and what's being requested. Reach out with photos and an idea and Jing will advise honestly.

Minimalist tattoos start from ₱2,000. All other styles start from ₱3,000. Final pricing depends on the complexity, size, and placement of your design.

Down The Rabbit Hole Studio is a private studio in a residential area in Banilad, Cebu City. The exact address is shared with confirmed clients only. The location is within Banilad, Cebu — if you're staying in Mactan, note that it may be a bit of a drive.

The studio involves 2 flights of stairs going down. If you have difficulty with stairs, please mention it when booking — home service with an additional charge is available as an alternative.

Topical anesthesia options are available if needed. Mention it when you inquire and Jing will advise on the options and timing.

Bring a valid ID with your date of birth. Eat a proper meal before your session — your blood sugar matters for how you handle the process. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the placement area. Avoid alcohol the night before.

No — clients must be at least 18 years old. A valid ID with your date of birth is required at every appointment without exception.
