Frequently Asked Questions
1. How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?
Make sure you are well rested, hydrated, and had a recent meal. Also make sure to take a shower and that your mobile device is fully charged.
2. What should I wear for my tattoo appointment?
It’s important that you wear what’s comfortable for you. Loose clothing is better than tight clothing. Depending on where you’re getting your tattoo, you’ll want to be able to cover up certain places that might show.

You should not get a tattoo when you are:
• Drunk
• High

• Pre-surgery
• Post-surgery
• Unable to afford it
• Being pressured into it
• Being told by us that your idea is bad
4. What is the pain level for a tattoo or a piercing?
In most cases it’ll feel like a 3/10. You can think of it as getting a scratch on a sunburn.
5. How long does it take to heal after a tattoo/piercing?
On average it takes about two weeks. However, you should plan on 4 - 6 weeks for a full healing of your skin.
