Keep the bandage on for at least two hours. Take a hot shower and let the tattoo rinse for a minimum of 30 seconds. Wash with a mild liquid soap, no more than twice a day. Pat your tattoo dry and use a fragrance-free lotion and apply atleast 2-3 times a day. Stay away from any pools, Jacuzzi’s, lakes, ponds and ocean water for the first two weeks. If you have any questions regarding how your tattoo is healing, please contact the studio.
Tattoo consultations are FREE and no appointment is necessary. You are welcome to stop by whenever it is convenient for you to discuss your tattoo.
The term walk-in means that no appointment is needed, because services are available without prior arrangement. We are a Walk-In studio, and tattoo on a first come first served basis.
NO. We are happy to make suggestions, but we can not tell you what to get. That includes defining what is cool, feminine/masculine, or what symbolizes you. These are things only you can define. We are happy to steer you in the direction of what will work, look best as a tattoo, and draw once you have a solid idea of what you would like. You just have to tell us what you want.
Yes, of course. Just as we do not tell people what to get tattooed, we do not dictate who you get tattooed by. You are just subject to that particular artist’s availability. Not everyone is here everyday, nor do they have endless availability in one day to tattoo everyone wanting a tattoo.
No. That is what we are here for. A clear idea of what you want and any photo reference you have will be helpful.
This is a really hard question to answer. It depends on who’s tattooing, how many tattooers we have available, who wants to get tattooed and what they want to have done. That being said, it is usually best to be here when we open. This way if you are not one of the first individuals in the chair that day, you are one of the first in line for the day.
Yes, street parking is available.
