Not always. Walk-ins are welcome assuming there is an artist available to accommodate them, however the only way to guarantee a spot is to set up an appointment ahead of time. 

Yes, the shop minimum is $100. Even for small or simple tattoos, our artists need to take great care in sanitizing and setting up their stations with the proper tools and supplies that are used for every type of tattoo.

• Leave the bandage on for a minimum of 4-6 hours (in most cases you may sleep in the bandage, but check with your artist first).  Wash your hands before removing the bandage.  

• Carefully remove the bandage and wash the tattoo gently but thoroughly with unscented antibacterial soap and warm water.  Its important to make sure all ointment, blood, and plasma are removed.

• Do not use a loofa, sponge, or bar of soap.  If the tattoo is stuck to the bandage, wet it with water to loosen and gently remove the bandage. 

• Pat your skin dry with a soft cloth, and let air dry.  Apply a small amount of unscented hand lotion or a small amount of Aquaphor, a couple times a day for the next two weeks.

• Your tattoo should be fully healed in 2-4 weeks.

• For the first 3 days, wash tattoo in the morning and at night.

• In 4-7 days, your tattoo will start to peel.  You may stop using Aquaphor and simply use unscented lotion.  Do not pick or scratch.  Picking or scratching can cause ink to fall out and a touch up will be required.  Continue to use the lotion for the following two weeks.

• Wear sun-protective clothing.

• Do not go in the sun, swim or soak for two weeks. (Showers are fine)

• Call your tattoo artist or doctor if you have any signs of infection.  Keep your tattoo clean to avoid infection.  Be very mindful of other people, animals, or dirty clothes touching it.  If this happens do not stress, just wash the tattoo with soap and water ASAP
