Can I make an appointment or just walk-in for a tattoo?
Yes, absolutely. To make an appointment it’s best to call ahead to set up a spot. For most appointments we require at least a $100.00 non-refundable deposit that goes towards your tattoo. We do accept walk-ins when time is available, but it’s always best to call ahead or make an appointment. If you have a certain artist you would like to work with, just request the artist you wish to work with when you schedule your appointment.
How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?
You must be at least 16 years old to get a tattoo in our studio. If you are under the age of 18, we require matching IDs ( last name and address) from both the minor and parent / legal guardian. If the IDs do not match, you must obtain a notarized consent from our studio. The parent must also be with you for the duration of your tattoo.
How much does a tattoo cost?
We will quote each tattoo based on how large and detailed it is and the placement on the body. You are buying a service, which includes your artist’s time, experience and talent, as well as supplies to create the tattoo.
Can you fix my old tattoo?
It depends on the quality and condition of the old tattoo. Older tattoos may require more work based on how dark or detailed the tattoo is. As a good rule of thumb, in most cases cover- ups will need to be 2-3 times larger than the initial tattoo.
Can I bring in my own artwork / ideas? What if I don't know exactly what I want?
We always love reference material. Bring in any ideas or thoughts you may have and we will help to create the best tattoo for you. If you struggle with ideas, you can set up a consult with an artist and they can help get you moving in the right direction.
Will you draw a design for me?
Of course we will, for the most part everything we do is custom designed. If you are looking to have artwork created for you without an appointment, a drawing fee may apply.
How safe is it?
Tattooing is a very safe practice. We hold ourselves to the most stringent and highest standards in tattooing. We are a disposable only shop. We use single use equipment ( needles, ink caps, inks etc.). We only use latex – free disposable gloves as well as additional barriers and germicidal cleaning products to create the safest and most sterile environment.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes, we offer gift certificates for any amount. Each gift certificate is valid for one year from date of purchase.
How do I take care of my tattoo?
Leave the bandage on for at least 2 hours. After removing, wash the area with anti-bacterial soap and water. Continue to wash with anti-bacterial soap and water 2-3 times a day and apply a thin layer of ointment ( Hustle Butter, Vitamin A & D, Aquaphor or Tattoo Goo). After 3-4 days you can switch to non-scented lotion. Peeling and flaking is normal, this does not mean that your tattoo is falling off. If scabbing forms, it is usually due to the tattoo drying out, let it run its course and your tattoo should be fine. Your tattoo will itch as it heals, do not scratch or rub it. Avoid direct sunlight ( this includes tanning beds), lakes and pools for at least 2-4 weeks until the tattoo is healed. Do not apply sunscreen until the tattoo is healed. If you have questions or if anything seems unusual, please contact us.
Can I bring friends with me to my appointment?
As of right now, due to Covid and our increased efforts in maintaining a clean environment, we are limiting the number of people in the shop. We are allowing one person to come with you while you are being tattooed. We ask that this individual follow all Covid restrictions as well and are screened when enter the shop.
