It’s ok to have questions, here are a few of the most common we get asked. If you can’t find the answer to what you are wondering, just reach out directly and we will be happy to give you the correct information.

DO YOU TAKE WALK INS? DO I NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?

At this time, we do not accept walk ins. We are a private studio, by appointment only. Reach out to us via website, email or Instagram to schedule an appointment.

IS THERE A DEPOSIT REQUIRED?

To make an appointment and guarantee a spot on the date you desire, there is a $100 non-refundable deposit required. That will go towards the balance of the tattoo on the day of the appointment. We will typically set a consultation up to discuss ideas, details and pricing for the piece. At that time, the deposit is due to schedule the tattoo date.

HOW SOON WILL I HEAR BACK FROM SOMEONE?

We try to answer emails in the order we receive them. It may take a few days to get back to you. It is not that we don’t care, we are just giving the present client the time and energy they deserve, the same will be done for you.

DO I NEED MY I.D.?

YES! We cannot and will not tattoo you without a proper state issued Identification card.

WHAT IS THE AFTER CARE FOR MY TATTOO?

The aftercare of your tattoo is just as important, if not more important, than getting the actual tattoo. Please keep in mind that tattoos are not permanent until they have fully healed. This means that if a tattoo doesn’t heal properly, it may not turn out as you wanted it to. This is why we also give our customers the proper aftercare steps in order for the tattoo to come out perfect.
There are a few common misconceptions and mistakes that are often heard. The first is not washing the area of a tattoo for an extended period of time while using lotion or ointment over the tattoo. These do work well to care for tattoos, but the problem is that it suffocates the area. The tattoo needs to air out in order to heal. If a large sum of lotion or ointment is often used over the tattoo, it can cause an infection. If you use any, be sure to only use a small amount, and rinse and reapply rather than leaving it on for a long time.
When washing the area, make sure you don’t submerge the tattoo under water. This means no diving into pools either! When you clean the area, use a damp clean cloth, and pat it around the area. Be sure to dry it properly to avoid infections. It’s also best to use fragrance free lotions and soaps as it may irritate the skin.
Another thing you want to avoid is direct sunlight after a fresh tattoo. The sun will cause the tattoo to burn, scab, heal poorly, and also it will hurt.
