Tattoo FAQ

Age, deposits, pain, cover-ups and aftercare: the questions we hear most, answered plainly.

Before you book.

Still unsure about something? Call +1 (000) 555-555 and we'll talk it through.

How old do I need to be?

You must be 18 or older with a valid government photo ID. We don't tattoo minors, even with parental consent.

How much is the deposit?

$100 for most pieces, taken when you book. It comes off your final price and covers drawing time. It can be moved once with 48 hours' notice.

Does it hurt?

Some, depending on placement. Ribs, feet and spine are the most sensitive. Eat well beforehand, sleep properly and tell your artist when you need a break.

Can you fix or cover an old tattoo?

Usually, yes. Bring it to a free consultation and we'll tell you honestly whether a cover-up, rework or a few laser sessions first will give the best result.

How do I look after a new tattoo?

Keep it clean, lightly moisturised and out of the sun, pools and baths for two weeks. You'll get a written guide and a healing kit to take home.
