   Yes, we offer free consultations to discuss your tattoo ideas, answer any questions, and provide an estimate. Please contact us to schedule a consultation. Not all tattoos need a consultation. Only is you are extremely unsure of what you want, or if you are getting a larger tattoo it is recommended that you book a consult.

   No, we require all clients to be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo, even with parental consent, in accordance with local laws.

    Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but most people describe the sensation as a moderate to uncomfortable scratch. The level of pain also depends on the location and size of the tattoo.

Aftercare and Healing

11. How should I care for my new tattoo?
