Things to consider when getting a tattoo!

• Can I get a tattoo if I’m under 18?

  California has some of the strictest tattoo regulations for clients, stating that no one under the age of 18 is legally allowed to get a tattoo, regardless of whether they have parental consent or not. According to Penal Code 653 PC, it is a criminal offense to “ink” or administer a tattoo to a minor under the age of 18.

• How much will my tattoo cost?

• Can you tattoo over scars?

  Yes, but it depends on the scar’s size, age, and condition. Consult your artist.

• Can you fix my old tattoo?

  Old or unwanted tattoos can be easily reworked into a fresh work of art. Color can be added to brighten your existing tattoo or with a little creativity even turned into a completely new tattoo.

• Can I get a tattoo if I have a medical condition?

  Certain medical conditions, such as bleeding disorders or skin infections, may affect your ability to get a tattoo. Consult with your doctor and our artists to determine if it’s safe for you to get a tattoo.

• Can I change my design or placement once the tattooing process has started?

  It’s best to finalize your design and placement before starting the tattoo. Changes can be difficult to make once the process has begun, and it may affect the overall look and quality and price of the tattoo.

• Scheduling Your Appointment

  Once you have chosen your tattoo design, where you want it placed, and what artist you want to do it, it's time to book your appointment. Our studio and artists may require booking months in advance, so be prepared to wait should you choose someone that's in high demand.

• How do I care for my new tattoo?

  Keep it clean and follow these instructions: • Leave bandage on for 5-6 hours. • Remove bandage, wash with warm water & soap, pat dry. • Never bandage again. • Before scab forms apply NEOSPORIN 3 or 4 times daily. • Stay out of chlorine pools, salt water, and only minimum sun exposure while tattoo is healing. • DON'T PICK AT SCAB. Tattoos will heal in 10-15 days.
