Question 1

Do you require deposits?

Accepted Answer

Our shop requires a $75 non refundable deposit for all appointments. This deposit must be paid within 48 hours of receiving an appointment date or your appointment will be forfeited, no exceptions. This deposit goes towards the overall price of your tattoo and if you are requiring sessions it will be applied to our last session.

Question 2

What happens if I need to  cancel?

Accepted Answer

We totally get it life happens. Please give more than 24 hour notice of cancellation. If less than 24 hours notice is received or you do not show up for your appointment - your deposit will be forfeited and you will be required to pay a new deposit to reschedule. We do take into consideration emergencies so please reach out asap if something comes up.

Question 3

Who designs artwork?

Accepted Answer

We do custom artwork for each piece we do. Please understand that we do not and will not copy another tattoo or someone else's artwork. Of course with the exception of pictures or handwriting from someone special in your life - we are always willing to do stuff like that. But please do not just ask a friend to draw your tattoo for you - that's why we are here..to create. We always keep in consideration reference photos but our artists will make changes to give you an unique piece of art. Drawings are done closer to the appointment so it is fresh in our minds to give you the best result. If it is a complicated design we will make sure to communicate through the drawing process and will have time the day of your appointment to make any changes. It is permanent and we want you to be 100% happy. Please be sure to review portfolios to ensure we are the right artists for you!!! We strongly recommend doing that for any tattoo even if going to a different shop! Please also note that sometimes what you are asking may not be something we can do and we will absolutely communicate that with you and try our best to able find a solution or help you find an artist that may be a better fit.

Both artists will be sure to give an estimated price range to be completely transparent and so you know what you are looking to spend as we know finances are always important

Question 7

How long will my tattoo take?

Accepted Answer

Each tattoo has different time perimeters - a lot of factors go into this! Color, size, detail, etc. General estimated time will be discussed with your artist upon consult/scheduling. However, this is an estimated time! Give yourself more time than the estimated amount. We absolutely will not rush your tattoo, give us a heads up of plans ahead of time or schedule on a day where you have more time available!

Question 8

Can I do a consultation?

Accepted Answer

We understand sometimes talking in person helps get a better understanding of what you are looking for or sometimes just simply helps establish a good relationship. If you need to come in to discuss please don't be shy! Let us know we will set aside time for you to come in and sit with us to discuss anything!

Question 9

What if I have medical issues?

Accepted Answer

Please do not schedule your appointment for times 3 weeks before or after a surgery or medical procedure. Surgery is serious business regardless how small - a new tattoo could compromise the surgery and vice versa. 
Some surgeries may require more time in between surgery or procedure date and your tattoo. Your doctor will be able to advise better on this and please reach out to them. 
If you are taking medications such as blood thinners, etc…we will require a note from your doctor saying it is okay for us to tattoo you. If you have medical conditions and need to discuss please reach out or set up time to come discuss if you are more comfortable talking about it in person

Question 10

What do I do for aftercare?

Accepted Answer

Keep an eye on your tattoo! Pretty simply - keep it clean, & keep it moisturized! Only unwrap it if you can clean appropriately immediately. The “second skin” can stay on for up to three full days as long as there’s nothing in between your skin and the wrap; if you find that’s the case, take it off immediately. 
Touch your tattoo with clean hands only - when washing, use only recommended antibacterial soap & wash gently, no need to scrub. Apply a THIN layer of our recommended ointment or lotion to keep moisture. Tattoos heal similar to any other wound - they itch and they may peel. Don’t itch them, don’t peel them. Avoid long sun exposure while healing, once healed - use sunscreen! Avoid any hot tubs, pools, ocean, etc until the tattoo is healed as well!! This typically takes up to 3 weeks! If you wouldn’t do it with a wound on you, you shouldn’t do it with your new tattoo. If you have any further questions - please please do not hesitate to call us! Healing/aftercare is extremely important for the outcome of your new tattoo!
