Care Instructions

1. Does it hurt getting a tattoo?
Sure, your getting tattooed! Some areas of the body are more sensitive then others but the feeling is more irritating then actually painful. Each persons pain tolerance varies.

2. Will I get H.I.V., aids or hepatitis from a tattoo?
No, not in our studio. We follow CDC  (Center for Disease Control) universal precautions. All equipment is autoclave sterilized (hospital sterilization) and individually packaged. New sterile, individually packaged needles and tubes, and individually dispensed inks are used for each customer. Other items used : paper towels, ink caps, lap clothes, razors and ointment are all single service use items and are discarded after each use, eliminating any possible chance of cross contamination. To date there are no recorded cases of AIDS thru tattooing.

3. How much does it cost?
It is hard to place an absolute price on a tattoo or the idea without consultation, but our studio minimum is $50. This would be for small tattoos such as Chinese characters, Zodiac signs, small flowers, etc. Armbands start as low as $150, and basic wrist/ankle bands start at $125. Cost is based on several factors: size, detail and complexity, not necessarily the body part you choose. You can also stop in to get an idea of the time and price.

4. How old do I have to be to get a tattoo?
You must be 18 or older, and be able to prove it! Our studio requires photo id (drivers license or state/govt issued id) for everyone.If you are under age 18 please call for instructions.
