How to Book a Tattoo:
- View the artist’s work on social media to determine if they are the best fit for what you’re wanting.
- Message the artist for a quote, or any other questions you may have.
- Consultations are free. You can call ahead to see if the artist is at the shop or you can book a consultation with them.
- When inquiring about pricing for a tattoo, include information about what you’re wanting. This includes reference photos, size (in inches), colors, fonts, and placement (where on your body you want it).
- Each artist sets their own prices and handles their own scheduling.
- The shop minimum is $50. Some artists may have higher minimums. Deposits are non-refundable. Every artist sets their own deposit fee amount. Each artist has their own touch-up (if needed) policy.
- Most artists prefer CASH ONLY. However, most artists also accept Cashapp and Venmo.
- Book at least 24 hours in advance.
Please be kind when messaging your artist. We stay busy and try to reply to messages as soon as possible. We are not on our phones while we are working, so most of the time we have to answer messages during our breaks. There’s a lot we have to do behind the scenes to prepare for our clients. So just know that if you receive a delayed response, it is nothing personal & we will help you as soon as possible.
How to Prepare for Your Tattoo:
- DO eat food & drink water at least 2 hours prior. Bring a snack if you are getting a large tattoo.
- DO bring a mask and photo ID.
- DO take a shower. Please don’t smell bad.
- DO bring headphones/charger if you want.
- Do NOT take blood thinners.
- Do NOT consume any alcoholic beverages or drugs 8 hours prior.
- Do NOT get a tattoo if you are, or might be, pregnant.
- Do NOT come in if you’ve been sick or running a fever. Not only are you putting others at risk, but your tattoo won’t heal right if your immune system is under attack.
When You Come to the Shop:
- Wear a mask at all times.
- Maintain a 6 foot distance with other clients in the lobby.
- Use hand sanitizer.
- No minors. 18 & up inside the shop only.
- Only one guest per client is allowed.
- Be polite & don’t be loud or obnoxious.
- Good tattoos can’t be rushed. Please be patient. This is just like waiting at a dentist or doctor’s office. I take my time and take pride in my work. If you need to leave and come back later, that’s totally fine.
- If you come by for a walk-in and your preferred artist is not there, message them directly or book an appointment. Our shop hours are 1-10pm but that doesn’t mean every artist is always there all day every day. Booking an appointment is preferred, especially during the on-going Covid-19 situation.
During Your Tattoo:
- Communicate with your artist. If you feel uncomfortable or lightheaded please let them know so they can help you. It’s better to tell them as soon as you start feeling bad to prevent you from passing out.
- Stay as still as possible. Let your artist know if you need a break.
- Some artists offer numbing cream for an extra fee, depending on the size of your tattoo. Don’t be ashamed to use it! If you decide to use your own, please tell your artist ahead of time.
- Please don’t lean on the armrest when repositioning. This is how they break and they are expensive.
- Please don’t be upset if your artist takes a break. They do this all day every day. Our artists are human and need to eat and take care of themselves so they can do a good job.
- Remember: Cheap tattoos aren’t good and good tattoos aren’t cheap.
- We sell WickedFast Aftercare!
- We also offer gift certificates.
- Tip your artist if they do a good job!
Tattoo Aftercare:
- Clean 4-5 times a day for the next 4 days.
- Use dial soap and then apply moisturizer.
- After the 4 days you can switch to a non scented lotion.
- For the next 21 days stay out of lakes, rivers, oceans, or any other bacteria infested waters. Your tattoo is considered an open wound until it is healed. Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight, the UV can damage your tattoo
- Keep showers short, water can soak into your tattoo and can pull pigment out of your skin. During your healing process you’re going to itch, DO NOT scratch your tattoo, lightly pat it.
- After your tattoo is healed and you notice a line fell out or something lightened up feel free to contact me to get your one time FREE touch up
- Please take care of your tattoo.
- That is more important than anything during your healing process. If you have any questions please contact Jessica at 806-543-0645.
