FAQ

Do I need to make an appointment, or do you accept walk-ins?

We recommend booking an appointment to ensure availability, especially for custom tattoos or specific piercers. However, walk-ins are welcome when time permits—feel free to call ahead to check!

What should I do to prepare for my tattoo or piercing appointment?

Please arrive well-rested, hydrated, and having eaten a meal. Avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed or pierced.

How do I care for my new tattoo or piercing?

Aftercare is crucial! You’ll receive detailed instructions after your session, but generally, keep the area clean, avoid touching it with dirty hands, and stay out of pools or direct sunlight during healing. Contact us if you have any concerns.

What is your age policy for tattoos and piercings?

You must be at least 18 years old for tattoos. Minors may be eligible for certain piercings with parental consent and proper ID. Please call ahead to confirm what’s allowed and what documentation is needed.
