FAQ’s

Pain is subjective to each individual. Common areas that may be more sensitive include the ribs, feet, neck, arm/leg ditches, and the stomach. It is often described as a sensation similar to a cat scratching a slightly sunburned area.

Typically, it takes about 10–14 days for initial healing, though it may take up to a full month to heal completely.

Please refer to the Tattoo page on our website to choose the aftercare method that best fits your needs. As a tattoo is an open wound, it is essential to follow the instructions provided at your appointment. Key steps include washing gently with fragrance-free soap, moisturizing with recommended lotions, avoiding direct sun and submersion in water, and never picking at scabs.

Our shop minimum is $60. For larger pieces, pricing depends on the
time required to complete the tattoo. Each artist has an individual
hourly rate. We recommend booking a free consultation to discuss
specific pricing.

References are always welcome. However, we recommend letting the artist adapt your ideas into a custom design that works best for a specific area of the body and ensures a high-quality, long-lasting image.

Ensure you get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy meal, and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior. For long
sessions, you may want to prepare a playlist or movies. If you intend to use numbing cream, apply it after a warm shower, wrap the area in plastic wrap, and keep it covered until your artist removes it at the studio.

Tattoos may fade slightly over time due to natural skin regeneration and sun exposure. Proper aftercare, regular moisturizing, and diligent use of sunscreen can significantly minimize fading. Touch-ups are also available to restore original brightness.

Yes. Options include:

1. Tattoo Rework: Focusing on restoring faded lines and re-saturating colors to improve clarity.

2. Tattoo Cover-Up: Replacing an old design with a new one that is typically 30–50% larger and uses darker, saturated colors to mask the original ink. We recommend working with an artist who specializes in cover-ups.

Research artist portfolios on social media to find a style that matches your vision (e.g., fine line, traditional, color). Look for consistent linework and healed photos. Ensure the artist is licensed and works in a sterile environment. Reading customer reviews and booking a consultation is the best way to ensure a professional fit.

Yes, though it requires careful preparation and communication. We recommend consulting a dermatologist for chronic or severe skin conditions and being prepared for potentially longer healing times.

Consultations are not required for simple designs smaller than palm size. For anything larger or more detailed, we recommend booking a complimentary consultation—available in person, via Zoom, or by phone—to discuss ideas and ensure clear communication.
