About the service
How a walk in tattoo Markham visit works
A walk-in tattoo is a session you get without booking weeks ahead. The KCHN Tattoos provides walk-in tattoos for clients in Markham whenever an artist has an open chair. You can pick from our current flash sheets or bring a small idea, and the artist draws it up on the spot. Our flash and walk-in tattoo page lists the kinds of pieces that suit a same-day visit.
Walk-ins work best for smaller designs, like a first Markham tattoo or a quick add-on. Script, initials, symbols, simple linework and flash all fit into one sitting. Larger work, such as a realism sleeve or a detailed cover-up, needs more planning, so we book it as a custom session with a free consultation first.
Walk-ins depend on who is free that day. The easiest way to check is to call or text (289) 301-3034 before you leave Markham. If every artist is booked, we can set a time later that week or move your idea into a custom booking through the contact and booking page.
What to expect
What to expect from a walk-in tattoo shop Markham clients use
Every walk-in gets the same care as a booked appointment. These are the practical points most Markham clients ask about first.
01
Availability
We open at 10 am and close at 6 pm, seven days a week. A same-day spot depends on the artist schedule, so a quick call saves you a wasted trip.
02
How cost is decided
Every piece is priced on its own size, placement and detail. Your artist gives you a clear quote before any work starts, so you know the cost up front.
03
Custom touches
Want a flash design changed a little? The artist can adjust size, line weight or lettering style during your visit. Bigger changes move to a custom booking.
04
Sterile setup
Needles and cartridges are single use and opened in front of you. Stations are disinfected between clients, and artists wear fresh gloves for the whole session.
05
Best styles for walk-ins
Small fine line tattoos with clean linework, script and simple symbols suit a walk-in. Wrists, ankles, forearms and collarbones are common placements.
06
Aftercare support
You leave with written aftercare. If a line heals patchy, your artist reviews it after four to six weeks and plans a touch-up.

Getting here
Driving to our studio from Markham
The KCHN Tattoos is at 240 Alton Towers Cir, Unit A4, in north Scarborough. The studio is in Scarborough, not in Markham, but it sits close to Steeles Avenue East, which forms the border between the two. Many clients drive south on McCowan Road or Kennedy Road and are at the door in a few minutes.
Plan a little extra time for parking and paperwork. Bring valid photo ID, eat beforehand and wear clothing that gives easy access to the spot you want tattooed. Our guide to studio hygiene and safety standards explains what happens at your station before the needle starts.
