FAQ

Yes, tattoos can hurt. But breathe, we will make sure you are as comfortable as
possible.

First things first, we need your ID. Please bring your drivers license, passport,
state card or military ID. You must be 18 to get tattooed. No exceptions. We
recommend bringing an ipad, ipod, or a book to keep you distracted and
entertained. A snack or a drink if you have a long session, and Last but not
least… Payment.

No, strictly tattoos.

As long as you go to a reputable artist that is following all recommended safety precautions, getting a tattoo is perfectly safe. 

The most important thing is to wear something comfortable.

Also keep in mind, depending on where you are getting tattooed you might want to cover up some places that might show.

We recommend dressing more comfortably and less fashionable. 

There are no specific ground rules for this, but tips are greatly appreciated.

Once you book an appointment with your artist, please ask them about what
forms of payment they accept.

Our shop minimum is $100. Each artist has different rates, please ask your artist
upon booking what their hourly rate is or what the tattoo would cost.

If you are sick, we definitely ask that you reach out to your artist about
rescheduling. No-one likes to be sick.

ABSOLUTELY. Reach out to the artist of your choice and ask them for a
consultation to discuss your idea.

Yes, but please let your artist know ahead of time so they can make
accommodations if needed. We do have limited space and ask that you don’t
bring the whole family.

Our artists run their own schedules. Please read the bio on how to book with
which artist you would like to be tattooed by.

Some of our artists do, and some do not. Please ask upon your consultation.

No. You must be 18 years old.

Some of our artists are available for walk-ins, but we do suggest calling ahead of
time to check their availability.

TATTOO AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wash your hands before touching your new tattoo.
2. After 3 hours, remove the bandage gently and wash with warm water and mild
soap. If your artist used a second skin, please leave on for three days. Remove
in the shower. DO NOT REBANDAGE.
3. Apply a thin layer of Hustle Butter (Ask your artist for a container!), Every day up
to 7 days. Then use an unscented hand lotion like Lubriderm or Curel, until skin
returns to its pre-tattoo condition.
4. Stay out of sunlight and tanning booths until the tattoo is healed, at least 7-10
days.
5. Do not soak tattoo in tub, sauna, jacuzzi or go swimming while your new tattoo
is healing. Showers are fine. Please use unscented antibacterial soap on and
around your tattoo.
6. DO NOT RUB or PICK the treated area while it is healing. Loss of color and/or
infection could occur.
7. Extreme sun and exposure over the years can and will fade your tattoo. This can
be minimized by using a strong sunscreen, at least SP25.
8. Your tattoo should heal in 2 weeks.
9. Do not listen to your friends about the healing process of tattoos!
