WHAT IS YOUR SHOP MINIMUM FOR TATTOOS?
OUR SHOP MINIMUM IS $150 . YOU MIGHT NOT REALIZE IT, BUT WE GO THROUGH NEARLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF SUPPLIES TO DO A TATTOO THE SIZE OF A QUARTER AS WE DO FOR A TATTOO THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL. EVERYTHING HAS TO BE STERILIZED, BEFORE AND AFTER.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET A TATTOO?
The cost of your tattoo depends on a number of factors including Size, Placement, Skin Type, and Color vs. Black & Grey.
tattoos will always be quoted in person!
WHAT HAPPENS IF I NO-SHOW DURING MY APPOINTMENT?
IF YOU NO-SHOW WE WILL KEEP YOUR DEPOSIT. if you feel like you wont be able to show up please notify me 24-48 hours before the date of your appointment.
SHOULD I TIP?
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TIP THOSE WHO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR YOU. WHETHER IT’S YOUR BARBER/HAIRSTYLIST, WAITER, OR THE KIDS WITH A LEMONADE STAND DOWN THE STREET, IF THEY PROVIDE YOU A SERVICE YOU SHOULD TIP THEM. THIS INCLUDES YOUR TATTOO ARTIST.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY TATTOO SESSION?
MAKE SURE YOU ARE WELL RESTED, WELL HYDRATED, AND HAVE EATEN RECENTLY. ASIDE FROM THAT, TAKE A SHOWER, CHARGE YOUR PHONE OR TABLET UP TO FULL, AND DON’T BRING IN YOUR 50 CLOSEST FRIENDS (1-2 ARE FINE).
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU EAT A MEAL SHORTLY BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT, AND TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. IF YOU START TO FEEL DIZZY, IT HELPS TO DRINK A SODA TO GET SOME SUGAR IN YOUR SYSTEM. FROM OUR EXPERIENCE, IT'S BEST NOT TO COME IN AFTER A HARD NIGHT OF PARTYING. ALCOHOL CAN THIN YOUR BLOOD AND CAN PROLONG BLEEDING FOR UP TO A FULL DAY AFTER YOUR TATTOO. EXTRA BLOOD CAN TEND TO MIX WITH OUR INKS, WHICH WILL AFFECT THE END APPEARANCE OF YOUR FULLY HEALED ARTWORK.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR MY TATTOO SESSION?
IT’S MORE IMPORTANT TO BE COMFORTABLE THAN TO BE FASHIONABLE. LOOSER IS BETTER THAN TIGHTER, AND KEEP IN MIND YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO COVER UP CERTAIN PLACES THAT MIGHT SHOW, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU'RE GETTING YOUR TATTOO.
DOES IT HURT ?
YES. NO. MAYBE. PAIN VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON AND FROM DAY TO DAY. MOST PEOPLE COMPARE GETTING A TATTOO TO THE DISCOMFORT OF SCRATCHING A SUNBURN. RELAX, DON’T FIGHT IT AND IT WILL ALL BE OVER SOON… OR IN A FEW HOURS, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE TATTOO.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY NEW TATTOO?
Keep it clean and follow these instructions.
Leave bandage on for 5-6 hours.
Remove bandage, wash with warm water & soap, pat dry and Never bandage again.
Before scab forms apply Aquaphor 2 or 3 times daily for 3 days.
Stay out of chlorine pools, salt water, and only minimum sun exposure while tattoo is healing.
DON'T PICK AT SCAB. Tattoos will heal in 10-15 days.
