Things to Know Before Getting in the Chair

  • It’s always best to be tattooed and pierced in as natural a state as possible.
  • If you’re sick or under the weather, please wait until you’re feeling better before getting coming in.
  • Make sure to eat something a few hours before you come in.
  • Allow plenty of time for your visit. Your session will be most enjoyable if you have time to appreciate it.
  • Proper hygiene is extremely important before & after your session.  Fresh clothing and a recent shower will get your new piece off to a great start.
  • A valid, government issued photo ID is required by law.  

Drugs and Alcohol

We reserve the right to refuse service to any client that appears to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  Pain killers, aspirin, ibuprofen, and anesthetics are not required prior to being tattooed.  In fact, most will usually compromise the experience and may possibly cause problems, such as increased bleeding.

Age Policy

Clients that are 18 and above only need to bring themselves and their valid, government issued, photo ID. Clients under 18 years of age must have written consent from their parent or legal guardian. The parent or guardian must accompany the minor child to the appointment & be present throughout the procedure  Presentation of the parent or guardian AND the minor child’s valid, government issued, photo ID (drivers license, passport or military ID) are required.  If none of the above forms of identification are available, the minor child’s birth certificate along with a school photo ID is acceptable. If the parent or guardian & the minor child do not share the same last name, a birth certificate or proof of legal guardianship is required!  A written consent form must be filled out on the premises & signed by both the parent or legal guardian & the minor child. All clients need ID and there are NO EXCEPTIONS!

Cost

When it comes to tattoos, you get what you pay for. Yes, there are plenty of people tattooing out there that will ink you cheap, and you’ll be crying to a real artist to have it covered up. Look for quality, and be willing to pay for it. NEVER haggle over the price of a tattoo. It is disrespectful to the artist. If you can’t pay for quality, don’t bother. This is not a bargain bin. It is a piece of art you will wear for life. Cost all boils down to what you want. Color, size, detail, etc all factor in.
