WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING MY CONSULTATION?
Consultations can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. There is NO CHARGE for consultations.
During our time, we have a conversation about your wants, needs, expectations and the process necessary to achieve your desired results. Bringing pictures on your phone or any form of visual reference is helpful.
Saving pictures of what you don't prefer to see is just as valuable as photos of what you do prefer.
Once we have agreed on a plan; we'll take any necessary pictures.
We encourage wearing something to your consultation which allows
for easy visibility of the procedure area and immediate area surrounding it.
A deposit is required to schedule your appointment which will be deducted from the price of your session.
CAN I BRING SOMEONE WITH ME?
Absolutely!!! We want all of our guests to feel comfortable
and we'll do whatever necessary(within reason)
to provide every client with the best tattoo experience possible.
Minor's aren't allowed without prior consent
and are only under allowed rare circumstances.
HOW PAINFUL IS IT?
Pain is an individual experience to which there are a great many factors involved.
Placement of your tattoo will have an effect on your level of pain, as well as age, pain tolerance, time of the month, time of the year, artist technique and more.
You can expect discomfort and depending on how big and how long the tattooing actually lasts, it can get painful. We do absolutely everything possible to minimize the discomfort of your procedure and often will use lidocaine to help reduce pain.
We make an extra effort to ensure the comfort of our clients and
believe a well prepared client is more likely to be comfortable during their tattoo time.
Therefore, we recommend reviewing the information below
if you're not familiar with our studio.
BEFORE YOUR TATTOO
*** If You're feeling sick, have a fever or are generally run down, please reschedule when you're feeling better!!!***
*** It is IMPORTANT to make sure you have had a good, healthy meal
within a couple hours of the beginning of your tattoo.
Its' recommended that you get a good nights sleep the night before.
Being fatigued reduces your bodies ability to handle pain.
It's important to make sure you're well hydrated the day before your appointment; dehydration even a day prior, can lead to a more painful experience.
We don't recommend drinking excessively the night before your procedure.
It can lead to reduced pain tolerance and possible excessive bleeding.
Over the counter pain relievers are okay to take an hour or so before your procedure.
If you have a sunburn, rash, abrasion or any issue with your skin at the location of your procedure, we may have to reschedule until your skin has returned to normal.
Before your appointment, your skin should be clean, well moisturized and undamaged.
AT YOUR APPOINTMENT
*** Please bring identification which will be required for paperwork.***
Wear comfortable clothing where your tattoo can easily be accessed.
Layered clothing works best for people who have fluctuations in body temperature.
It's normal to experience periods of hot and cold during sessions.
*** It's possible you could get ink on your clothing, though we make every effort to avoid this.***
It's perfectly fine to bring a pillow or blanket from home if it makes you feel more comfortable.
You are welcome to bring a beverage with you.
We have bottled water, coffee and various drinks available for guests.
We also have a popcorn machine for fresh popcorn on demand.
There is a small neighborhood store next door which will have additional snacks.
When your procedure is finished, you will receive verbal and electronic care instructions.
Each set of care instructions are tailored to the individual,
so aftercare will vary from client to client.
