Aggregated Yelp/OpenTable coverage notes Skin Contact 'gets pretty busy Friday and Saturday, so booking early... is recommended,' pointing customers toward reservations rather than walk-in waits on peak nights.
Per that coverage, the busiest stretch is later evening once dinner crowds arrive for nightcaps, while the quietest windows are right at opening — weekday evenings at 5pm and weekend afternoons at 3pm — making early arrival the reliable way to skip a wait.
