1- HOW OLD DO
I HAVE TO BE?
1- HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE? The majority of our customers say that it’s more “Irritating” than painful but everybody has different tolerance levels.
Well, it’s only irritating for the first few minutes, after a while the skin adjusts to the feeling and feels numb.
As the old saying goes “Cheap tattoos are not good, and good tattoos are not cheap”. ---- Our price rates start at $60. ---- There is a $10 extra charge for any work done “off” the arm. ---- There is a $10 extra charge for every name added to the tattoo. ---- All displayed flash is individually priced. ---- Any large or custom work is priced accordingly, usually hourly. ---- (We require a $50 deposit for any custom drawing, if you get the tattoo with us the deposit is deducted from the final price of the tattoo. If for any reason you decide not to get the tattoo with us, we keep the deposit as a drawing fee). (Large custom drawings such as “sleeves”, “whole backs”, “whole fronts”, etc. require a larger drawing deposit).
WE ACCEPT
No, you do not need an appointment for “average size pieces or piercings”. We take walk ins on a first come first serve basis usually until 1 hour before closing time or depending on how busy we are that day, it also depends on the size of the piece that you want to get done. You should try to come in as early as you can, coming in towards the end of the walk in hours, does not guarantee you that you will get tattooed or pierced that night. We prefer to schedule appointments for large size pieces.
We
DO NOT take any appointments over the phone or via
e-mail, to set up an appointment, you must come in person,
we need to figure out what you want to get, how long (more or less) it will
take, etc... this usually requires a consultation with the artist. (It
advisable that you call before coming to the studio to make sure that the
artist that you chose will be available for a consultation with you)!!
Definitely; we can do your own picture or design one for you from your idea. Our specialty is “Custom Work”.
Tattoos take about 2 to 3 weeks to heal completely. Piercings could take anywhere from as little as 4 weeks to as long as 1 year depending on the kind of piercing that you get done. (For more information on the aftercare and estimated healing times of Tattoos and Piercings, visit our “Tattoo info” and “Piercing info” sections of our site.
Absolutely not! The sun will dry out your tattoo and this can result in scarring. Salt water as well as chlorine will bleach out the color while the tattoo is healing. You should also abstain from soaking a healing tattoo in a Jacuzzi or bath tub. You can definitely go swimming in the OCEAN with a new piercing, this will actually help promote the healing of a new piercing. The pool is not recommended because of all the chemicals in the chlorine at least in the beginning stages of a healing piercing. ***TIP*** (In the summer, after your tattoo is completely healed, a high spf “SUN BLOCK” lotion is strongly recommended to help maintain the colors of your tattoo).
We use disposable tattooing and piercing needles on each customer and sterilize all other instruments such as Tattooing tubes, Piercing forceps, pliers etc. As long as you follow our aftercare instructions specifically, the risk of infection will be very small..
Every person receiving a tattoo or a piercing will be asked to read and fill out an application and release forms asking you information about yourself, questions about allergies medical history, etc. This basically states that you DO want that particular tattoo or piercing, you’re not under the influence of alcohol or drugs and that you WILL do your best to take care of it. “Remember that 50% of the work is up to you”.
