Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. Cover-ups are one of our specialties. Just keep in mind that darker, bolder designs usually work best for covering old ink. It’s like giving your old tattoo a makeover it never saw coming.

We offer a wide variety of tattoo styles including traditional, realism,  fine line, watercolor, just to name a few.  We don’t offer Henna or any other non permanent tattoos  

Yes, you are more than welcome to bring your own design! Out artists will even work with you to customize it if that’s what it needs.

Yes, we require a deposit to secure your appointment and drawing time. The amount of the deposit will be applied towards the tattoo.

The healing time for a new tattoo varies, but it typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks for the skin to heal.

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.  For example, if you’re getting the shoulder cap tattooed it would be much better to come prepared in a tank top rather than rolling up the sleeve not only for access but tattoo placement purposes as well.

Yes, most artists will share your design before or on the day of your appointment. We usually go over details and make adjustments together, a lot of artwork is done on layers now so it’s not difficult to adjust.  

If you’re sick, stay home and reschedule (for your health and ours). We do not tattoo anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding. Safety first—your health matters more than ink.  

Avoid alcohol, drugs, sun overexposure, and anything that thins your blood.
