How do I book an appointment?
To book an appointment, simply use our online booking system: BOOK AN APPOINTMENT . Please provide a detailed description of your tattoo idea, your preferred artist (if you have one), and your availability. We recommend booking well in advance as our artists' schedules fill up quickly.
How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?
You must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo, regardless of parental consent. If you're under 18, we are unable to perform a tattoo, even with a guardian present.
Can I walk in and get a tattoo?
We recommend scheduling an appointment to ensure you get the artist and time slot you want. However, we do accept walk-ins if there’s availability. You can give us a call or check our social media for updates on walk-in hours.
How much will my tattoo cost?
Tattoo pricing varies based on factors like size, complexity, and placement. We charge either by the hour or a flat rate for certain designs. Our artists will provide a detailed quote during your consultation. We also require a deposit to secure your appointment, which will be applied to the final cost of your tattoo.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes, we require a deposit when booking your appointment. This deposit is typically non-refundable but will be applied to the final price of your tattoo. The deposit ensures your spot on our schedule and compensates the artist for their time and design work.
Can I bring my own design?
Yes, you can bring your own design, and our artists will work with you to customize it and make it perfect for your body. If you don't have a design, don't worry – our talented artists can help bring your ideas to life or create something completely unique for you.
How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?
Make sure you’re well-rested, hydrated, and have eaten a healthy meal before your session. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. Avoid alcohol or drugs 24 hours before your appointment, as they can affect your healing process and pain tolerance.
What should I do after I get my tattoo?
Aftercare is crucial to ensure proper healing. Keep your tattoo clean and moisturized, avoid sun exposure, and do not scratch or pick at the tattoo. We will provide you with specific aftercare instructions based on your tattoo, but generally, you should follow these steps for the first two weeks:
-
Wash the tattoo gently with mild soap and water.
-
Apply a thin layer of unscented ointment or healing balm.
-
Avoid soaking in pools, hot tubs, or salty water.
-
Wear loose clothing over the tattoo to avoid friction.
How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?
Tattoos typically take about 2-3 weeks to heal on the surface, but the full healing process can take up to 6-8 weeks. It’s important to continue taking care of your tattoo during this period and avoid activities that could irritate or damage it.
Will my tattoo hurt?
Pain is subjective and varies from person to person, but most people experience some level of discomfort during the tattoo process. The area of your body, the size of the tattoo, and your pain tolerance all play a role. Our artists work efficiently to minimize discomfort, and we can provide breaks during the session if needed.
Can I get a tattoo over scars or stretch marks?
Yes, you can get a tattoo over scars or stretch marks, but it's important to note that healing may take longer and the final result may look slightly different depending on the texture of your skin. Our artists can provide a consultation and discuss how best to approach your design.
How do I take care of a tattoo on my face or neck?
The aftercare for tattoos on the face or neck is similar to other areas, but these spots may require extra attention due to their exposure and sensitivity. We recommend avoiding makeup or heavy creams on the area until fully healed. Our artists will give you specific instructions for these sensitive areas.
Can I get a tattoo while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to get a tattoo. While there’s no clear evidence that tattoos harm the baby, pregnancy hormones can affect your skin and may make the tattoo healing process more difficult or uncomfortable. Additionally, the risk of infection is always a concern, so it's safer to wait.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give us at least 48 hours' notice to avoid losing your deposit. If you miss your appointment without notice, the deposit will be forfeited. We understand that life happens, so please get in touch as soon as possible if you need to make a change.
Do you offer touch-ups?
Yes, we offer touch-ups if your tattoo fades or heals unevenly. Touch-ups are typically free within 3 months of your original tattoo session, but after that, we charge a small fee based on the extent of the work. If you have concerns about your tattoo's healing, please reach out to us.
Can I bring a friend or family member to my appointment?
We understand that getting a tattoo can be a big decision, and you may want someone with you for support. However, we have a no extra guest policy in the studio for a better, more focused environment. If you need someone to accompany you, please check with us beforehand.
What if I have an allergic reaction to the ink or develop an infection?
While allergic reactions to tattoo ink are rare, they can occur. If you notice any unusual redness, swelling, or rash after getting your tattoo, please contact us immediately. If you experience signs of infection (e.g., excessive redness, pus, or fever), seek medical attention and let us know so we can assist you.
